Ever since Will Ferrell left Saturday Night Live back in 2002, there has been a huge fault with the SNL cast to find someone to fill such a gaping hole in their political satire line-up.

After Ferrell left the show, he was replaced by Chris Parnell, whose Bush impression left something to be desired. Parnell was replaced by go-to political impersonator and resident senior citizen Darrell Hammond. However his portrayal of Bush was liked even less. Hammond stepped down to let Will Forte have a crack at it, making Bush seem more of a timid, lost president than a cocky, country imbecile. In my opinion this was one of the worst choices in casting I've ever seen. Recently Jason Sudeikis has taken over the role of still-President Bush as Fred Armisen primes up his inconsistent depiction of President Elect Barack Obama.

Although fans got a taste of a return of Ferrell's iconic Bush impersonation that really helped his career take off from SNL, there's plenty more to come as Will Ferrell takes to Broadway his beloved caricature of George W. Bush. You're Welcome America. A Final Night With George W. Bush is a one-man show by Will Ferrell structured as a farewell address from the outgoing Commander-in-Chief. The show begins previews on Inauguration Day, January 20, and opens officially on February 5 with a stage run extending until March 15.

The awesome news for people who can't get tickets or don't have the money to drop on a plane ticket to NYC ? HBO has bought the rights to a telecast of the Broadway show that will air sometime either late in the stage run of the show or sometime after it has ended.

Personally, I'm psyched to see Will Ferrell do something like this. First, it's quite a ballsy choice to do a Broadway show when Ferrell's career isn't exactly at a low point (usually the staple of a choice to do Broadway by an actor/actress) and second, it's going to be great to see how Ferrell does on a stage with no alternate takes, and no other actors to play off.

No exact date is set for the telecast of You're Welcome America. A Final Night With George W. Bush but as soon we know, you'll know.

In the meantime, here's a message from President George W. Bush encouraging you to take action.
