It's time for change in America - but not without a few parting words from the departed 43rd President of the United States. Here's your chance to discover the man behind the myth, the truth behind the lies, and the logic behind the illogical, as HBO presents Will Ferrell in the heralded one-man Broadway show You're Welcome America. A Final Night with George W Bush.

Superstar comedian/actor Will Ferrell stars in his first-ever HBO solo special, a live, 90-minute performance of his limited-run one-man Broadway show, You're Welcome America. A Final Night with George W Bush. In the special, Ferrell will inhabit one of his favorite political characters from Saturday Night Live, President George W. Bush, providing insights into Bush's Texas/Connecticut childhood, his academic and social career at Yale, his stint as a major-league-baseball co-owner, his emergence as a political figure and governor, and his cherished if checkered tenure in and (frequently) out of the White House.

Don't miss this historic night of comedy when Will Ferrell: You're Welcome America. A Final Night with George W Bush airs LIVE from the Cort Theatre TONIGHT, Saturday, March 14 at 9 p.m. ET (9 p.m. PT)-only on HBO!

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.
