I really need to watch “The Today Show” more (I was burned yesterday when I turned it on, and boy band One Direction was performing. Get ready to spread the hate when they appear on “SNL.”) To promote his new Spanish-language movie, Casa de mi Padre, Will Ferrell appeared on the morning “news” program to chat with Matt Lauer. He later emerged again during the show’s boozier, Kathie Lee and Hoda-hosted fourth hour with Ron Swanson himself, Nick Offerman, who also appears in the film. They were both wearing bathrobes and drinking Bloody Marys, and the whole thing was adorable as it was amusing. At one point, Ferrell turned to Offerman and asked, “Are you as drunk as I am?” Offerman responsed: “Absolutely. Three sheets to the wind.”

Now, it’s not QUITE as good as when Joel McHale brought out the bottle of Macallan in 2010, but I think Ferrell and Offerman are challenging the “Community” star, who returns to Rockefeller Center on Thursday, to one-up himself. The booze is in your court, McHale. (Advice: bring back the drunk midgets dressed as Ewoks.)

Any news day that gives where I see the Drunk Swanson gif is a good news day
NBC should make a show with those too drinking bloody marys, plus Louis CK, Jon Hamm and Bryan Cranston. Instant hit!
I, for one, would watch that.
I would never not that watch that. Throw in some Emilia Clarke, too, just because.
Joel’s was definitely better, but this was good too. Nothing like when Olivia Munn went on he week after Joel and tried to do the same thing. She came across as trying way too hard and a little desperate.
As per usual.
God Kathie Lee sucks.
Jesus. Is that what it’s like when a lonely housewife comes on to you? I could practically hear the drops of panty moisture hitting the ground.
