Scott makes a festive beast of himself
Scott arrived for a huge show after staying out too late the previous evening. He moved rapidly through the office, tried to overcompensate with loud enthusiasm and admitted that he would prefer to present in a dressing gown. Chris observed his condition with fascination while reminding him that two of the year’s biggest guests were due.
Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg
Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg arrived in matching smart suits to discuss Daddy’s Home. Will played a gentle stepfather trying to win over his wife’s children, while Mark was their biological father and rival. Their established chemistry from The Other Guys made the competition feel natural.
They discussed working together again, extravagant Hollywood gifts and the difficulty of being famous while trying to appear normal. Scott then placed them opposite one another in a darkened room for Playground Insults.
A poor man’s Mike Myers
The rules demanded childish insults without simply relying on swearing, although festive bells were needed to cover parts of the broadcast version. Mark told Will that his hair resembled a Brillo pad and that his blue eyes made his brown eyes brown. Will called Mark a terrible actor, a poor man’s Mike Myers and claimed Jack Black could beat him.
The exchange became increasingly personal. Mark attacked the Anchorman moustache and Will’s age, while Will offered to eat a raw dead fish instead of a Wahlburger. The decisive line suggested that New Kids on the Block had called because they wanted Mark back as a dancer. Mark laughed, giving Will the victory.
Scott was almost in tears and immediately called it one of his favourite things. The uncensored video went online for listeners who wanted to hear what the bells had hidden.
Later, Will the listener returned with his toy badger after attending 22 stag dos during the year. A Christmas personality quiz declared him a roast potato: not the headline act, but essential, hard outside and soft inside. Greg James played Real or No Real as the programme moved within three days of Christmas.
