Will Ferrell wears many hats. Last October, he DJed a USC frat party. Saturday night, he joined Swedish House Mafia for a one-night-only benefit show he called Will Ferrell’s Ultimate House Party. It was at Chicago’s Wintrust Arena, and A-Trak, D-Nice, and a bunch of other DJs were also there. So was Illinois governor JB Pritzler. Proceeds went to Cancer For College, an organization supporting cancer survivors with scholarships, educational opportunities, and medical debt relief. (Ferrell will be doing another benefit for them in December with Keanu Reeves’ band, Dogstar.) It sure looked interesting. See some clips of the event below.

UPDATE: On Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, Ferrell sang a new patriotic song to play at US naturalization ceremonies instead of Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless The U.S.A.” It was co-written by Mike Viola and can be seen at the end of this video.
