You're Welcome America

You're Welcome America. A Final Night with George W Bush is a comedic Broadway play starring Will Ferrell as George W. Bush. It was broadcast live on the HBO cable channel, as well as in Canada, on March 14, 2009, at 9:00PM EST. Ferrell, who has famously depicted Bush on Saturday Night Live, also wrote the play, which is directed by his long-time comedy partner Adam McKay. According to a review at The Improper.com, "Combined with lewd humor and an uncanny cast of characters to help him drive home his alter ego's West Texas mannerisms, Ferrell’s showpiece is a true delight."

The show broke the house record at the Cort Theater, taking in $846,507.05 for the week that ended on March 15, 2009.

The show was released to DVD on November 3, 2009.
