Bear attacks = comedy gold. Just ask Will Ferrell, who got big laughs when he jumped into a grizzly pen at the San Diego Zoo in "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy."
The animal attack comedy device also features prominently in his latest film, "Semi-pro," in which Ferrell plays the owner of a fictional ABA team who tries some pretty outlandish promotional stunts — including bear wrestling.
And yesterday the comedian — who was joined by co-stars Will Arnett, Woody Harrelson and Andre Benjamin — appear onstage during MTV's Total Request Live for a little mano-a-mano with one of the furry creatures to promote the new comedy.
