TV STAGE TUBE: Will Ferrell: Thank You America HBO Preview

Will Ferrell stars in his first HBO special, a live, 90-minute performance of his current limited-run hit Broadway show, You're Welcome America. A Final Night with George W Bush. The program premieres Saturday March 14th at 9pm. But you watch a sneak peek of the HBO comedy special right here on Stage Tube!

You're Welcome America. A Final Night with George W Bush, broken records even in its first month of performances, the show smashed a Cort Theatre house record - taking in $871,127 for the week ending on February 22ND. This broke the house record set during the previous week, with an increase of almost $25,000.

You're Welcome America... will conclude its Broadway run on SUNDAY, MARCH 15th at 7pm. It will have played 18 previews and 46 regular performances. The hit comedy has also recouped its original investment of $2.09 million.

Will Ferrell is making his Broadway debut in this show which is directed by Adam McKay, Ferrell's longtime collaborator, and director of the comedy classics Anchorman, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, and this past summer's box office hit Step Brothers.

It's time for a change in America, but not without a few parting words from the 43rd President of the United States. Don't miss your chance to discover the man behind the myth, the truth behind the lies, and the logic behind the illogical in this limited Broadway event.
