Live from the green, it’s a Saturday Night Live reunion!
Molly Shannon (Only Murders in the Building, Driver’s Ed) is joining her fellow comedy veteran Will Ferrell (Step Brothers, Elf, Anchorman) in the cast of an untilted series featuring Ferrell as a fictional golf legend. Shannon will play Stacy in the 10-episode TV comedy series, Ferrell’s first.
Shannon and Ferrell have a long history of bringing the laughs together. Both joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in 1995, and overlapped for five years at Studio 8H in memorable sketches including “Dog Show,” “Dr. Beamon’s Office,” and “St. Monica’s High School Talent Auditions.” Their film team-ups include A Night at the Roxbury, Superstar — a spinoff film with the Mary Katherine Gallagher character Shannon made famous on SNL — Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, and, most recently, as themselves in the Ferrell-produced documentary Will & Harper.
The untitled golf comedy counts Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum, and Alix Taylor as executive producers for Gloria Sanchez Productions. Rian Johnson, Ram Bergman, and Nena Rodrigue are executive producers for T-Street. Chris Henchy, Harper Steele, David Gordon Green, and Andrew Guest will serve as executive producers.
