We are sort of Will Ferrel fans, especially dh(old SNL stuff, not his movies so much for me).  I was very disappointed to hear this prank, whether it was real or not.  I did not find that interview funny, either.  They were all just trying too hard, and it did not work.

But, really, I doubt a Kraft service person would deliberately taint a food like that.  They must have to be cleared to be near stars in those jobs, no?  So, yeah, seems unlikely it really happened. 

So stupid though.

Craft Services would not have done something like that.  I have worked in the entertainment business when I was younger.  If something like that had been done as a "joke", the person would`ve lost their job.  They actually really got into trying to make an allergen free meal for me (milk, egg, peanuts at the time).  I remember one time they had soy milk for me and the Craft Services person wanted to make me a soy milk shake.  My mom had to say no due to shared blender and concerns about cleaning it while on location.  They are really prepared to work around the allergies.  So I think he must have said it as some kind of a "joke".  That is really twisted.  It also sets a poor example, because others may watch, not realize that he is making it up, and get the message that this is a funny joke.  Making up a story like that as a "joke" really sends the wrong message.  Someone watching may try it with another food allergic person thinking it is okay.

I think he was hilarious in Elf.

But wow--in The Office he played a character that was PA and the old boss played this trick on him. And his character was offended. So it's wild he's joke about it, ya know?

I saw this show.  None of the interview was very funny or amusing because none of the three people seemed to really like one another.  But I'm more of a Colbert fan than a Daily Show fan.

Try as I may, I guess I can only see it as putting someone else's life in danger.  If you think that's funny then waterboarding should be a load of laughs.

And while I detest Will Ferrell as a comedian in most roles, I absolutely loved him as Mugatu 

That's because he was brill as Mugatu.   

Is it sad that I am eagerly awaiting the release of Zoolander 2??

I think he did a prank on an episode of The Office as well regarding nuts.

Yeah, in some ways I can see the humor but the other half of me fears the kids that idolize Will Ferrel who might think this would be funny to reenact in real life.

LOL, you're not kidding!

GN, read only when you can get that it's a joke, OK?

[spoiler]Hopefully you ds will mature and outgrow Farrell humour.  SOON![/spoiler]

OK, FWIW, my 18 year old MFA kid thought it was hilarious and that we're all nuts for taking offense.

he is not funny and he's an idiot to boot.

Yes, perhaps it is not true as I found it unbelievable too.  But if it was a joke I don't see any humour in it.  Would he joke about spiking a fellow actor's dinner with rat poison?

Yes, he would.

I never watched the interview.. just saw the story on-line on the news.  So I guess it was just his idea of a joke?
