The star of many hit comedies, including Old School, Anchorman, Elf, and Talladega Nights,Will has been making people laugh ever since his 7-year run on Saturday Night Live.

He knew that he could make people laugh, and he loved the popularity that it gained him. His principle even started having him read the daily announcements because if it was Will behind the microphone reciting them with a comical twist, then people would actually pay attention.
