Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon are dishing with "Extra" on their new comedy series “The Hawk.”
Will plays Lonnie "The Hawk" Hawkins, 2004's top golfer, who is struggling to recapture his magic late in his career.
They reacted to Will's new SKIMS underwear campaign as his character Lonnie. Molly called it “genius marketing,” while Will laughed, "Talk about riots in the streets."
When asked about physically prepping for the role, Will joked, “The whole goal was to do this show to get me a SKIMS campaign. Lonnie's thrilled. Lonnie was thrilled to be asked to not only do a photoshoot, but, yeah, a commercial."
Will dished on how his golf game has improved after doing the series, sharing, "You know, I'm fine. I'm good enough to not embarrass myself, but then I... I just played out here... 47 on the front and then horrible on the back — 101. So I'm like a 17."
"Short game's better," he added. "I'll put it this way — my bad shots have gotten better. You know when you can hit a bad shot and it still kinda plays decently? I'm better that way."
Will recently appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” where he did a Molly Shannon impression. Molly hadn't seen the bit, so Will gave her a sampling, which had her cracking up! Watch in the video above!
Explaining his impression, Will said, “Molly Shannon, he makes you feel like you’re telling the most interesting story… She makes you feel so good.”
"That's so sweet. That makes me laugh so hard," Molly reacted. "Oh my god, I love it. I love it. Let it rip!"
She added, "Why Will’s a brilliant performer, actor, comedian is because he really pays attention… He can imitate anyone... He's serious, he's concentrating and studying, right? That's why."
As for what they want the audience to take away from the series, Will said, “There’s more than just a sports comedy… It is really about how fun and crazy the characters are and the family dynamic and the love/hate we all have for each other.”
“The Hawk” premieres July 16 on Netflix.
