If the whole movie career doesn't pan out, at least we now know that Will Ferrell can earn a living as the new face of Little Debbie. Ferrell came to The Tonight Show bearing snack cakes and wearing a straw hat and plaid dress, and made a confession to Jimmy Fallon: "Let's be honest, Jim, I'm not the Hollywood hunk I once was," he said. "This mug ain't making the moolah like it used to, and I've got a mouth to feed. My mouth." Believe it or not, things got even weirder from there, with a "guess if this is a snack cake or a baked potato" taste test and Ferrell’s rendition of the brand’s jingle. Watch the segment/extended Little Debbie commercial in the video below. —Catherine Garcia
