Exit Interview: Adam McKay
By Richard Rys
AM: It is. You could sell that. In fact, someone’s going to read this and go, “I will buy that idea.”
EI: Well, on the record, they need to talk to both of us first.
AM: God bless you.
EI: Will Ferrell as the Mr. Roarke figure in a new reality show called MILF Lagoon.
AM: Where did this word “MILF” come from?
EI: Um, since this interview is unrated, I guess I can just say it means a “Mom I’d like to [have relations with].”
AM: I think it does. “Mom I’d like to [have relations with].” I like the first idea. The first one’s actually working.
EI: I’ll have my people, which is me, talk to your people.
AM: Which is me. Our people are talking now, I guess.
EI: Looking forward, what’s on your schedule?
AM: Some friends are writing an idea I had about Will as a spoiled-brat CEO, and they’re talking about Land of the Lost as a comedy for Will and Jack Black. I would maybe direct.
EI: Anything you’re doing in the next 20 years that does not involve Will Ferrell?
AM: That’s a good question. As it stands now … no. I will haunt Will Ferrell. I am the Frank to his Sylvester Stallone.
