You just never know who might steal the spotlight during a live podcast show.<\/p>\n
Will Ferrell made a surprise appearance at the Hollywood Bowl on Oct. 17 during a live taping of the hit podcast SmartLess, hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and our beloved Canadian, Will Arnett<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Los Angeles amphitheatre was packed with tens of thousands of audience members who had come to watch the three hosts record an episode live on stage. But they were in for a few surprises when some unexpected stars showed up, including Ferrell.<\/p>\n The Anchorman funnyman, who grew up in Irvine, California \u2014 and who some would say has spent a lifetime in \u201ca glass case of emotion\u201d \u2014 kicked off the festivities with a rendition of our national anthem, \u201cO Canada.\u201d In a Canadian tuxedo, no less.<\/p>\n The crowd clearly wasn\u2019t ready for such a patriotic performance, but, obviously, the internet had thoughts.<\/p>\n \u201cHis voice is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus,\u201d one Instagram user commented after the video went viral.<\/p>\n Ferrell may not have the voice of an angel, but he\u2019s certainly got the spirit. And apparently, that\u2019s all it takes to win over an entire nation, because people online are already making the case for Ferrell to become an honorary Canadian.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has ALWAYS been a hot, honorary Canadian, in my humble opinion,\u201d commented Canadian Law & Order actress Jill Hennessy.<\/p>\n Other fans are pitching Ferrell for a slightly different role.<\/p>\n \u201cCan we make Will Ferrell U.S. ambassador to Canada and give P. Hoekstra the boot?\u201d one Instagram user asked.<\/p>\n They\u2019re referring to Pete Hoekstra, the current U.S. ambassador to Canada, who has ruffled plenty of feathers with anti-Canadian comments, so much so that an online petition has been created<\/a> to yank him from his post.<\/p>\n Fans continued to show love for the beloved actor who has shot many films in Canada<\/a>, including the Christmas classic, Elf.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s never looked better,\u201d one user writes. \u201cLove him even more now!\u201d says another.<\/p>\n
