Will Ferrell and Viveca Paulin Say Farewell with 'Free Bird'

Who’s that Ronnie Van Zant lookalike and the pregnant hippie dancing beside him? Why, it’s Will Ferrell and Viveca Paulin, of course! The comedian and his expectant wife gave Conan O’Brien a musical send-off Friday evening, performing Lynyrd Skynyrd‘s “Free Bird” on the host’s final show — complete with cowbell!

Will, 42, and Viveca, 40, are already parents to Magnus, 5 ½, and Mattias, 3, and expect a third son this month.

That was so cute and funny. The look on Viveca’s face during the performance cracked me up.

I excited to here the name of baby #3

I had no idea that was his wife! And I honestly thought it was a fake belly when I watched the show Friday night.

- Angela on January 26th, 2010

How fun it must be to have him as a dad!

- Mary on January 26th, 2010

Angela you were not alone. I must have forgotten that he was having another baby so I didn’t know who this girl was but all I kept thinking when he was kissing her is oh lord that is some kiss I hope your wife isn’t mad!!

and with that video, they just became my favorite celebrity couple. seriously folks, any woman willing to go on live television dressed like a hippy at 9 months pregnant while her husband sings free bird with a blonde wig and cowbell is cool by me.

i’m really looking forward to the third mini-ferrell! can’t wait to hear the name

I didn’t get that performance at all. It was so gross when they were making out. I’m glad Conan had fun on the guitar though.

- Alicia on January 26th, 2010

Viveca is beautiful, I will agree. I was laughing at their little stint on Conan’s farewell at first, but then it seemed like the two of them were hogging Conan’s farewell a bit. Maybe that was the camera person’s fault… JMO

I think it needs more cowbell!

- nettrice on January 26th, 2010

She has to be a little silly too if she’s married to Will Ferrell! That was hilarious. Is it just me or does Conan look kind of sexy with a guitar?

- Jessicad on January 26th, 2010

nice send-off! Conan looked very happy!

- sat on January 27th, 2010

LOL!!!! I was cracking up Friday night! They were great and I agree….More Cowbell!

- momof4 on January 27th, 2010

OMG whenever I see this it makes me so emotional I thought it was real nice of Will and his *very pregnant* wife to do that for Conan.
When I saw this for the fist time on Friday it had me in tears…
I really hated to see Conan’s premature farewell..But he made the most of it and really made it epic.

P.S I wish Will and Viveca the best of luck with there 3rd baby!!
<3

Dude she was a really good sport to do this!!!! It was hilarious!! She made me feel much better about having to get into a swimming suit at 8 1/2 months pregnant the next day!!! =)

- mmh on January 27th, 2010

I think the new baby will have a name similar to Markus. Maybe something odd like Marques.

- Sarah on January 27th, 2010

I knew it was his wife – thought it was hilarious! Especially when they were making out – so funny! Oh yeah – we were waiting for the cowbell too! )

- Tracy on January 27th, 2010

Funny, I watched this and didn’t know that that was Will’s wife and I didn’t know that she was really pregnant, I thought that was all part of it. Too funny. Congrats Will!

- Amanda on January 27th, 2010

I can just imagine their boys in 15-20 years sitting and looking at this and saying either, “Our parents were SO cool!” or “Our parents were SO weird!” Ha! What a well-matched couple they are. And his lovely wife looks as if she’s about to pop! I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s not having the baby as we speak! Way cool.

- Dolores on January 27th, 2010

They are adorable. I wonder if she still finds him amusing or if she’s totally over it.

- Kristen on January 27th, 2010

you can’t watch that video if you’re not in the United States. That really annoying! I’d have liked to watch it:(

- annie on January 28th, 2010

A week later, I’m still touched and amused by the tenderness, emotion, and outrageous fun. Thank you Conan, Will, and Viveca. Best wishes on the new baby boy! Conan – don’t stay a stranger.

- Donna C on January 29th, 2010

Keep it going!
I love Conan, Will, and Viveca. Max Weinberg and LaBomba must also stay around. I can’t watch you enough!!!!!
Cheers – you guys!
