WILL FERRELL SURPRISES AT SON’S FRAT PARTY BY TAKING OVER AS DJ—THE LEGENDARY FOOTAGE IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU’D EXPECT
Will Ferrell, the celebrated comedian and actor known for his role in “Step Brothers,” has a knack for captivating audiences in any setting. Yet, even with his broad range of talents, seeing him DJ at a frat party was something few could have predicted.
This unexpected turn occurred when the 56-year-old actor took over the DJ booth at the University of Southern California’s Sigma Alpha Mu house. Dressed in a backward cap and a USC Trojans jacket, Ferrell, a major Hollywood name who could easily command a significant fee for appearances, chose instead to entertain at a college pre-game party.
As reported by TMZ, Ferrell was spinning tracks before the USC vs. Arizona Wildcats NCAA football game on Sunday—a game which USC narrowly won, 43-41. This appearance wasn’t just a surprise; it was a testament to Ferrell’s versatility and his ability to bring unexpected joy wherever he goes.
In a video that surfaced online, Ferrell is seen DJing the 2011 hit “N****s in Paris” at the decks—a significant choice, considering his own voice was sampled by Jay-Z and Kanye West for the track. His line, “No one knows what it means, but it’s provocative… gets the people going,” has become iconic, closely associated with the song over the years.
The real intrigue, however, lies in why Ferrell was DJing at a college party to begin with. The footage captures him in full DJ mode, leaving many wondering about the backstory of his unexpected appearance at the event.

Online chatter suggests that Will Ferrell’s surprise DJ appearance might be connected to his eldest son, Magnus, who is currently a student at USC. Fans might recall that Will also delivered a commencement speech at the university in 2017. When he received an honorary doctorate, Ferrell reminisced about his early days: “Many a night where, in my L.A. apartment, I would sit down to a meal of spaghetti topped with mustard with only $20 in my checking account.”
