Will Ferrell's coming to Broadway.

The comic will reprise his most famous Saturday Night Live impersonation - George W. Bush - in a one-man show to open next January, Playbill.com reports.

Look back on SNL's most outrageous political parodies.

Ferrell's production, "You're Welcome America: A Final Night With George W. Bush," will run through March 15, and be "autobiographical and include anecdotes about the comedian's work on Saturday Night Live," according to the New York Times.

The actor's next flick, Land of the Lost, opens June 2009.

    I never thought he did a very good W. I would know, he's my best friend, and I agree with him on everything.

    will should be perfect in this role, just as he was when he immitated bush on SNL. he's a natural. those who think he's boring nor funny must not be familiar with his body of work.

    The ONLY way to "judge" funny is by success. If someone is not funny they will never be successful in the field of being funny. It's obvious Will Farrell IS funny. You may not think he is funny, that is your right, however you are in the minority. If the majority of people in the "audience" didn;t think he was funny... then we wouldn't be havi

    Will Ferrell is funny to high school boys and drunken college guys. Hardly an impressive fanbase. Brit Hume is funnier than Ferrell.

    I think he will be a better Bush inpersonator than Josh Brolin.
