It hit me the other day that it feels like two lifetimes ago that Will Ferrell was making a name for himself spoofing Pres. Bush on "Saturday Night Live." Several years and a handful of comedy smashes later, his career is firing on all cylinders.

To think he once had plans to go into sportscasting!

He's back in a new comedy with another sports theme, the retro-basketballer "Semi-Pro" which should be another slam-dunk hit with the 18-24 demo that worships Ferrell.

Alison asked him if it's strange for a 40-year-old father of two to have such a young fan base .. and they also commiserated over the lousy existence of a sports TV intern.
