Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig made an actual Lifetime movie
It’s always fun when an outlet like The Hollywood Reporter has to preface a news story with “this is no April Fools’ joke.” After all, today is the first of April, and it’s a bit tough to completely avoid things that are designed to expose fools for what they really are. This story really does warrant that disclaimer, though, because it’s pretty weird: According to THR, Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig secretly made a Lifetime movie—and not as a Funny Or Die sketch, either. This is an actual Lifetime movie that’s going to actually air on Lifetime in honor of the 25th anniversary of the network’s first foray into the (varyingly) trashy TV movie business.
