The Hawk: Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon Discuss Their Hilarious New Comedy Series
Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon are discussing their upcoming comedy series called “The Hawk.” In a recent interview with “Extra,” Molly and Will shared their thoughts on Will’s SKIMS underwear campaign as his character Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins. Molly praised the campaign as “genius marketing,” while Will humorously mentioned that it was causing “riots on the streets.”
When asked about preparing physically for his role, Will joked that the main goal was to land a SKIMS campaign through the show. He mentioned that his character was excited to be part of the campaign. Will also made an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” where he did an impression of Molly Shannon. Since Molly hadn’t seen the interview, Will performed the impression for her, which left her in stitches.
After showcasing the impression, Will complimented Molly, highlighting her ability to make people feel special when they share stories. Molly reciprocated the praise by calling Will a brilliant performer who pays attention to detail and can imitate anyone. When discussing the series, Will emphasized that “The Hawk” offers more than just sports comedy, focusing on the fun, craziness of the characters, family dynamics, and the love-hate relationships they share.
“The Hawk” is set to premiere on Netflix on July 16. Fans can look forward to a blend of humor, unique characters, and entertaining storylines in this upcoming comedy series.
