Will Ferrell Breaks Down on ‘@midnight’: ‘Oprah’s One Tough Son of a B-tch!’ (Video)

Comedian appears as Chad Softwick to debut the new, not real spinoff “@midday” on OWN, but things get a little dark

Will Ferrell appeared on Comedy Central’s hit late night show “@midnight” Thursday to debut the new, warm fuzzy spinoff “@midday,” not actually coming to the Oprah Winfrey Network soon.

Ferrell also debuted the new, warm fuzzy version of “@midnight” host Chris Hardwick — Chad Softwick, who has been tweeting adorable baby animal pictures from @Softwick since Wednesday.

So, naturally, the first game of the night was easily the most adorable one that’s ever been featured on the @midnight stage: “Cute or Too Cute?”

“We don’t want to offend anyone, and everything we do will have an inspirational message!” Softwick said, which is pretty much in line with Oprah’s overall agenda.

But Softwick soon revealed a darker side to working for the Queen of All Media.

“Do you know what it’s like working for OWN, the OWN Network!?” Softwick asked.

“Oprah’s one tough son of a bitch!”

Ferrell’s Funny or Die produces “@midnight” for Comedy Central. We just hope Oprah is in on the joke.
