Will Ferrell Takes His Role as Little Debbie Spokesperson Very Seriously

โ€œA delicious cake with cream filling, white icing and fudge trimming, I know a little Zebra Cake when I can taste oneโ€

Will Ferrell is the new face of Little Debbie snack cakes.

The actor and comedian stopped by โ€œThe Tonight Showโ€ Wednesday dressed as the snack icon Little Debbie, sporting her signature blue gingham-print dress, a curly red wig under a straw hat and black Mary Janes.

Ferrell, who is making the talk-show rounds to promote his latest movie โ€œGet Hard,โ€ explained to Fallon why he's been force to take on this new venture.

"Let's be honest, Jim: I'm not the Hollywood hunk I once was," Ferrell said. "This mug ain't makin' the moolah like it used to. I got a mouth to feed. Specifically, my mouth."

This Little โ€œDebbie,โ€ who repeatedly referred to Fallon as โ€œJim,โ€ was a little stingier then most corporate sponsored guests. After asking the audience if they enjoyed the famous snack cakes โ€” building up expectations for free samples โ€” Ferrell told them to buy their own.

โ€œYou can buy one, you can buy, everyone can buy one,โ€ Ferrell said as he pointed towards the crowd.

The โ€œSNLโ€ alum, who demanded to be called Debbie, claimed to be a Little Debbie cakes expert who could tell the difference between โ€œa Debbie snack cake and a baked potatoโ€ with his eyes closed.

Fallon put Ferrell up to the challenge and pulled out a plate with a hot potato and a Little Debbie snack cake.

โ€œA delicious cake with cream filling, white icing and fudge trimming โ€” I know a little Zebra Cake when I can taste one,โ€ Ferrell said of his selection.

The โ€œElfโ€ star then sang a rendition of the famous jingle before skipping around the studio passing out sweet treats to the audience.
