I like [“More Cowbell”]Christopher Walken is the producer and Will Ferrell walks in in a tight T-shirt and rings the bell.
Bobby Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, composers and lyricists (“Frozen”, “Agatha All Along”)
Anderson-Lopez: The commitment that every single person has to that sketch, except maybe Jimmy Fallon. Christopher Walken's commitment is really the secret ingredient.
Bobby Lopez: His body language, his use of space. Incredible.
Anderson-Lopez: And then Will Ferrell matches him and says, “You gonna go there? I'm gonna take this to 11, too!”
Jude Law, actor (“Eden”, “The Order”)
My first memory is the first time I was a hostess. And you're all set and ready after a week. And that's when you're standing behind the door and someone comes up and says, [gestures a silent countdown from five on his fingers] And you open the door and you walk out. And there's this kind of terrifying silence, it's like jumping off a cliff. There's something about it that just blew me away. My favorite sketch is “More Cowbell.” Chris Walken [and Will Ferrell]“More Cowbell”.
