Will Ferrell had a few scores to settle on Wednesday's Late Night, asking Seth Meyers more than a few times if he could "give a quick shout-out." While shout-outs are generally positive nods of public recognition, Ferrell mixed in a few threats and a plea for forgiveness with his salutes. In the middle, he also slipped in a shout-out "to a lovely lady from the royal House of Windsor, Queen Elizabeth II." It got steamy. "Queen, three words: You are sexy," Ferrell said. "You are the embodiment of red-hot passion, and I would like to invite you to a lovemaking session that will rock your world." He wants the royal guards to watch, he said, "and their expressions will change." He gave some examples.
If Ferrell shared the love with the queen, he had nothing but death threats for Richard Dreyfuss. Or Richard Gere. Or Richard Greer? If your name is Richard and you are famous, maybe lay low for a bit. Everyone else, watch below. Peter Weber
