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.

Liz presents Jack with her idea of a Miami road trip only to find out Jack wants to go to freezing cold Boston instead so he can see Nancy. The TGS budget is small so the cast and staff must share cheap motel rooms and ride to Boston on a rented bus, which leads staff and cast to make dibs on roomates fast. The cast and staff arrive in Boston and begin setting up shop in the NBC Boston affiliate building. A group of Boston affiliate employees wearing hockey shirts decide to harass Jonathan and Kenneth for fun.

As Liz starts her promo shoot Jack realizes how unprepared Liz really is to host the show. The high def camera reveals the television version of the TGS staff. A close-up in the high definition camera shows Liz as a haggard looking witch, Jack as a young version of Alec Baldwin and Kenneth as a muppet.

Jack notices Tracy’s son is visiting. Tracy tells Jack it is “take your black child to work day”. Jack and Tracy have a heart to heart talk about kids and regret. Tracy tells Jack Bill Cosby let him down, real life with family isn’t like the Cosby show. Jack states he doesn’t want kids crimping his style while Tracy doesn’t want anymore kids because he can’t tell dirty jokes while the kid is in the room. Jack and Tracy decide a vasectomy is the way to go for both of them.

Liz’s new roomate comes home to find Liz looking and acting crazed, screaming and accusing him of everything under the sun.

Kenneth commends Frank on being the most green employee at TGS. Kenneth tells Liz she must make a choice: go green by getting rid of her mini-fridge or let Frank continue his “sun tea” method of helping the environment. Liz gives in and tells Frank to close the door when peeing, he says no way.

Liz suddenly realizes Frank’s gross method may be the way to get rid of her roomate. Liz drinks tons of ice tea and as her roomate walks in the door, pees in a jar in the living room, which drives her roomate out of the apartment.

Kenneth talks to the new maintenance man (guest Al Gore) about monitoring TGS’s carbon footprint. Al Gore goes into a lengthy, funny explanation of global warming and other ways to reduce our carbon footprint.

Jack invites Liz to have dinner with him to propose an idea about her Dealbreakers book. Jack generously offers to produce a new talk show based on Liz’s Dealbreakers book starring Liz and Liz accepts. Jenna and Tracy find out about the deal and Jenna insists Liz get other offers besides Jack’s before signing on the dotted line. Jenna sets Liz up with an agent she knows.

Realizing Danny may be right, Jenna and Tracy forbid Kenneth to take care of their every need.

Jack decides to make Lemon beg for his help, telling Jenna and Tracy to tell Liz he is making the Dealbreakers talk show without her since the idea originated through TGS. Liz threatens to sue Jack and NBC if they proceed. Jack laughs in her face.

Kenneth sees how the new guy is influencing Jenna and Tracy and takes matters into his own hands. Kenneth meets up with Danny while he’s rehearsing. Danny is nervous about being on TV, having little acting experience other than being a human robot, and trying to get rid of his Canadian accent. Kenneth gives him a hard time and Danny speaks up to Kenneth, losing his accent. Kenneth drops his act and congratulates Danny on being an actor.
