There’s been a long-running joke that Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Ferrell and Smith are very similar to each other, and snl Lies continued in his final show of the season.
Shortly after Smith thanked the audience, Ferrell came out dressed exactly like Smith and claimed that the drummer had attacked him backstage as part of an attempt to take over his.
Pharrell convinces Smith to get off the stage, but not at first snl The cast acts as if the entire ordeal is over and he is having trouble returning to his duties as host. Pharrell decided to take questions from the audience, and the first question was from a very common audience member – Sir Paul McCartney.
The legendary musician believes that Ferrell is actually the impostor Smith and demands Ferrell leave the stage and return to his drum set, where he belongs.
