On Thursday's Conan, Will Ferrell is happy to talk about anything and everything — except for the big white bird on his shoulder. When Conan O'Brien asks for details about the bird — named Prof. Don Feathers — Ferrell freaks, saying he tries to keep his personal life private. "I told him this would be low key, and now you've made it weird!" he exclaims. This is the latest in a string of wacky late night appearances by Ferrell to promote his new movie, Get Hard; last week, he showed up as Little Debbie on The Tonight Show. —Catherine Garcia
