Ferrell said: “We are planning a trip in February to hit the triple crown. Fulham, QPR and and Wrexham.”
The interviewer Roger Bennett said: “The famed mighty Wrexham.”
Ferrell replied: “The treble. The original treble.”
The Los Angeles FC owner has previously called for a match with fellow Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham.
He was trying out providing commentary for a LA FC match last night when he made the suggestion.
His co-commentator asked him: “You did a movie with Ryan Reynolds coming out on Christmas, he’s now involved with Wrexham. [Jason] Sudeikis is involved with Ted Lasso. You feel like you started something here?”
Will Ferrell answered: “I feel that I am a catalyst in that regard, and I think Ted’s team, Ryan’s team, and LA FC should try and play each other at some point. Like a three-team tournament.”
