Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly Serenade Each Other With “Reunited” On ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ [Watch]

131

On Wednesday night, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in support of their newest comedic collaboration, Holmes & Watson. The lovable duo’s latest project, a comedic reinterpretation of classic crime-solving characters Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, is set to hit movie theaters in the U.S. on Christmas Day. The new collaboration between the two funnymen is highly anticipated by fans of their previous films like Step Brothers (2008) and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006).

After musing about the excitement people express when they see the two men together (“There’s a lot of ‘shake and bake’… a lot of ‘boats and hoes’”), the pair went on to talk about their natural comedic chemistry. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly continued to riff about their personal and professional relationship, Ferrell pretending to well up with emotion at the notion of them coming back together to work on their latest film.

As Ferrell held back his tears, a melancholy keyboard line began to come through the sound mix. When Kimmel asked if they needed to take a moment to collect themselves, Reilly replied, “No, we’ll work through it… We’ll sing through it.” The comedians promptly produced two microphones and began to sing 1972 R&B classic “Reunited”, written by Dino Fekaris and Freddie Perren and popularized by vocal dup Peaches & Herb.

In classic form, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly remained hilariously committed to the bit, inserting plugs for Holmes & Watson into the song as they went. Adorable.
