Amazon Users Angered Over Will Ferrell, Molly Shannon Rose Parade Parody

Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon, in character as local TV anchors Cord Hosenbeck and Tish Cattigan, hosted live coverage of the Rose Parade, which was streamed on Amazon Prime on Monday. The two played eccentric broadcasters who have covered the parade for 25 years, alongside fellow “Saturday Night Live” alum Tim Meadows, who reported on the parade from the street.

While the broadcast was clearly a parody of classic parade coverage, with Shannon and Ferrell poking fun at the floats and their phony personas, some Amazon users missed the joke. The ratings review of the live stream has a fair amount of one-star comments criticizing Cord and Tish, unaware that the duo were in fact famous comedians. The show still earned an average three star rating, despite 40 percent of reviews being one star.
