Ferrell and McKay worked together as writer and director on Saturday Night Live in the late 1990s. Later, McKay and Ferrell teamed up in comedies like Step Brothers and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

Ferrell and McKay co-created Funny or Die in 2007. “The whole concept of Funny or Die…was the idea that people could have a place to put up whatever they wanted to put up with no notes and no filter,” writer-director Adam McKay said. “The TV show came out of that same spirit.”

Upcoming weekly shows will include videos starring Zach Galifianakis, Wayne Newton, Don Cheadle, Zooey Deschanel, John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell.

Besides her usual gig on 30 Rock, former SNL head writer and cast member Tina Fey is set to host Saturday Night Live in April 2010. There is speculation she will reprise her famous Sarah Palin impersonation if the skit passes muster with Lorne Michaels. “It’s inevitable that we’ll try it, at least,” Fey said in an interview Tuesday.

“We’ll see if it makes it to air” the comedian said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. Fey’s impersonation of former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was a huge hit with viewers of SNL and during the 2008 campaign season, drawing huge ratings for the show. “It was the strangest thing that’s ever happened to me,” said Fey. “I’ve never had anything fall in my lap like that. Everything is usually me trying to convince the people of Earth that it’s OK for me to perform…that felt like the opposite.”

Viewers will remember Palin’s cameo on SNL appearing with Fey in October 2008. Palin stated in her book “Going Rogue” she grew up watching SNL, and would appear on the show again if asked.

Breaking Bad’s premise is that of a Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher who discovers he has inoperable lung cancer. Everything in Walt’s life is ironic and this is no exception. Terminal lung cancer for a guy who never smoked a day in his life? Right. The chemistry teacher realizes he must provide for his wife, teen-age son and baby yet to be born. Walt knows his life on earth is limited and he must make as much money as he can to take care of his family. This regular guy decides to cook meth with Jessie (Aaron Paul), a past druggie student of his who makes his living selling meth. Walt transforms from a bland, unhappy, unassuming guy into a wheeler dealer, a fearless purveyor of drugs who is finally living life to the fullest.

Walt’s wife Skylar is confounded by Walt’s determination to spend as little as possible on treating his illness. Skylar is also confused by Walt, a bland but reliable guy who suddenly disappears for days or weeks at a time, causing problems with their marriage. Walt’s teen-age son Walt Jr. who prefers to be called Flynn instead of Walt Jr., has cerebral palsy but deals with life the best he can. Walt and Walt Jr. have problems relating, even more so as Walt’s life and personality changes radically over time.

Walt and Jesse butt heads often as Walt leads them deeper and deeper into higher level drug trafficking. Walt begins to enjoy his role as a kingpin of the drug trade, relishing the power of his position. Oh, and Walt’s brother-in-law happens to be a DEA agent. Walt constantly walks a fine line of being found out, possible violence, breaking the law and keeping his marriage together.
