Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell team with Jimmy Fallon for a hilarious soap opera spoof on The Tonight Show's At Home Edition: 'A Quarantined Melodrama'
They are all Saturday Night Live alums, and now they have pulled off one of the funniest moments thus far in this new age of socially distant comedy and entertainment.
Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell teamed up with with host Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night for a sidesplitting soap opera spoof video for the At Home Edition of The Tonight Show, entitled The Longest Days Of Our Lives.
The comedians all appeared from their respective homes in the video sketch, which saw the trio 'transform into soap opera characters for a quarantined melodrama,' as Fallon's caption on Instagram noted.

Bring in the dramedy: Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell teamed with with Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday for a sidesplitting soap opera spoof for the At Home Edition of The Tonight Show
Both Wiig, 46, and Ferrell, 52, are no strangers to being so heavy-handed it hurts, here playing multiple characters in a convoluted love triangle which saw Wiig confessing to Fallon, 45, about an infidelity.
Will, of Anchorman and Blades Of Glory fame, managed to portray a total of three brothers, each with his own accent and costume detail, as Wiig's Vanessa very dramatically tells her lover Winston, played by Fallon, that she has cheated on him with his brother.
'How could you!' Fallon exclaims, before adding, '...HOW could you? We're all social distancing. Was it through like, Skype or something?'
And the comedy reaches fever pitch when Ferrell then makes three different appearances, as they figure out which of Winston's 'other brothers' Vanessa cheated on him with.

The melodramatic beats are underscored by music, which makes the whole spoof all the funnier.
Both Wiig and Fallon almost lose it as Ferrell continues to lean to the side, barely out of frame, as he changes from a fake mustache to a cowboy hat and scarf as he bounces from brothers Alejandro to Montgomery to evil twin Fontaine.
And as gasps and slaps abound, the final ridiculous twist comes when Bridesmaids star Wiig throws on a wig and fur coat to portray Melinda, Vanessa's mother, who's after the family fortune –– a roll of toilet paper.

It all comes after Jimmy's voice over introduction to the spoof, in which he says, 'A horrible time, which feels like it might last forever... These are The Longest Days Of Our Lives.'
The 'At Home Edition' of The Tonight Show on Wednesday also saw Jimmy chatting with actress Taraji P. Henson and pop star Dua Lipa, who sang her new hit Break My Heart from self-isolation in London, England.
The songstress, 24, spoke candidly about the early release of her new record before belting out the song, admitting it's 'fun' performing only for her boyfriend Anwar Hadid, who was behind the camera.
