http://www.statenews.com Ron Burgundy. Tom Izzo. Little Orphan Annie. Two out of these three characters may be fictional, but Tuesday night, all three of them graced the stage of Breslin Center for “Will Ferrell’s Funny or Die College Comedy Tour.” en-us Foundry4 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 19:46:11 -0400 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 16:04:37 -0500 webmaster@statenews.com http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/9510/view Thea, Who really cares that Ferrell had to cut some of the media show. Quit being selfish and realize that stuff happens (like planes being delayed because of weather, go to China for Heaven’s sake!). I’d be willing to bet that Will Ferrell didn’t even cancel the media interviews but that it was like a tour manager or something. Do you really think he has the time to be involved in those sort of decisions? Please use a little common sense when writing your articles. They might make them a bit better. On the other hand, the show was PHENOMENAL!!! Kudos to whoever put on the show! Zach and Demitri were hilarious. And Ron Burgundy… oh Ron! Tom Izzo, what a sport! Great show, great time!

The only thing I think I really liked from him was the Jesus/Pot relationship chart. Galifianakis and Swardson were very funny. I laughed so hard that I cried at the joke Swardson made about how he would commit suicide. Zach had a lot of one-liners but still was really funny. I was dissapointed with the questions that were asked by the audience, yet I don’t think I could have come up with any good one’s myself. The Burgandy interview with Izzo was probably the highlight of my night. I wasn’t expecting Ferrell to be dressed as Burgandy and I certainly wasn’t expecting an interview with Izzo…one that I will probably never forget.

Demetri Martin didn’t really do it for me, but everything else was awesome and my stomach hurt from laughing so hard!

If journalists are the scum of the earth, you and most of your colleagues at the state news represent whatever that scum feeds on. It’s a gift that you had the opportunity that you did, to even be included with the rest of the media. Report the news, not your personal agenda. It was a great show and it went off without a hitch. No one cares whether you got what you wanted.

This is an opinion piece, so relax. You are one of the people who never have an opinion until the boss gives it to you, so go back to writing swag and let some that still have a pulse, enjoy life. p.s. “80% of the time, your writing sucks all the time” Wed, 06 Feb 2008 10:04:18 -0500 http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/9541/view http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/9550/view The first comment on this article is rude and just rediculouse. Why don’t you use a little common sense when reading an article. She wrote a fact that was interesting and simply stated that area reporters couldn’t have been happy about it. Sounds pretty solid to me…so shut the truck up first-commenter you.

As if you jokers are entitled to meet with every third rate celebrity that comes to campus. Who the hell cares if he wore a MSU shirt or hat? I mean seriously, if that made the show for you than you’re a total loser.

The show was hilarious! I enjoyed every minute of it. Zack and Nick were awesome, demitri made me laugh too. Why does there always have to be drama in these comments.. WHO FUCKIN FARTED???

His handlers tried to make it happen. We sat around for nearly six hours waiting, and some people drove from across the state to do the roundtable. I wouldn’t have put it in my story, but I can see how it is relevant. Also, it explains why Ferrell was unable to be quoted for the story.
