(That's a figure familiar for decades through Bob Hope and Steve Martin films, and in TV shows like Get Smart.) With a story assist from Reilly, Ferrell wrote the script with Adam McKay, a fellow alumnus of Saturday Night Live and director of two Will winners, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
