A Reason For People With No Money To Watch CNBC






The NY Times' Jacques Steinberg writes about Will Ferrell crashing CNBC's "Power Lunch".

Dressed in an untucked golf shirt and rumpled cotton slacks, Mr. Ferrell appeared suddenly at the anchor desk as Sue Herera was thanking a correspondent for a report on the results of an auction of five-year Treasury notes.

"G.E. is bankrupt,'' Mr. Ferrell announced, appearing to read a headline about CNBC's parent company from a sheaf of papers he had grabbed from the desk.

"Can we help you?'' Mr. Griffeth asked, appearing startled.

"Kenneth Lay likes to wear makeup as a woman,'' Mr. Ferrell intoned, ignoring Mr. Griffeth and again appearing to read a headline, this one about the indictment of the former Enron chief.

It was then that Mr. Ferrell leaned across the desk to plant a kiss on Ms. Herrera, who, despite never having met Mr. Ferrell, offered no resistance. She ended up locking lips with Mr. Ferrell five times, in less than a minute.
