Will Ferrell in the infamous "More Cowbell" sketch

Will Ferrell (July 16, 1967 - ) was a castmember on SNL from 1995 to 2002. Will was one of the many new faces in the 1995-1996 season's cast.

With fellow friend and castmember Chris Kattan, Ferrell created Doug and Steve Butabi, two recurring characters that became popular enough to star in their own movie, A Night at the Roxbury.

Ferrell left after the May 18, 2002 episode, after seven years on the show. The final sketch of the episode featured a special farewell to Ferrell from all the other cast members. Since then he has starred in many movies, including Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, and Step Brothers. (All of which were written and directed by former SNL writer Adam Mckay.)
