Will Ferrell: SNL's "More Cowbell" sketch "ruined" Christopher Walken's life

Entertainment Weekly

Jimmy Fallon and Ferrell, who returns to host Saturday Night Live for the fifth time this weekend, recalled their iconic 2000 sketch on Thursday's Tonight Show. “Here’s the crazy thing. I go to see Christopher Walken years later, in a play. I say hello to him backstage and he’s like, ‘You know, you’ve ruined my life,'” Ferrell said, imitating Walken’s famous voice. “‘People during curtain call bring cowbells. The other day I went for Italian food for lunch, and the waiter asked if I wanted more cowbell with my pasta bolognese.’ I think he’s really mad.”
