In 1967, in Irvine, California, Will Ferrell launched his comedy career as a member of the improv troupe based in Los Angeles, the Groundlings.

John William Ferrell was conceived in Irvine, California on July 16th 1967. Will Ferrell was the youngest child of Righteous Brothers keyboardist Lee Ferrell and teacher Kay Ferrell. He was admittedly not the typical class clown while he was a University High School student. Ferrell, who was quiet and reserved decided to leave his mark in football where he set the school record for the most field goals that he made. Ferrell was more of a laid-back person in suburban homes and didn't have the same kind of outrageous or humorous expressions later in his career. In an interview with Esquire his mother, she said that Ferrell was "very gentle, and very calm." "You do you remember those tiny Matchbox cars?" Will would be thrilled when he lined up all his Matchbox cars himself. You'd say, 'You wanna visit Disneyland today, or arrange your cars?' This would be a tough discussion for him to think about. Ferrell was not a straight guy. A glimpse of Ferrell's comedic talents was displayed each morning in high school when he disguised himself and announced the events of the day over the PA system. Following his graduation in 1986 Ferrell was a student at the University of Southern California at Los Angeles, where he was a member of Delta Tau, the Delta Tau fraternity and pursued the degree of sports journalist.
