Congratulations quickly rolled in through the post’s comment section. One fan wrote, “This is amazing news,” while another added, “You two are the absolute best together.”

“Can’t wait,” shared another, with one fan simply saying, “Congratulations.”

Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon were on 'SNL' at the same time

Ferrell and Shannon were SNL castmates during the same era. While Ferrell was on the long-running sketch show from 1996–2002, Shannon’s tenure lasted from 1995–2001. The duo’s “Dog Show” sketch was a highlight of that Saturday Night Live era.

Ferrell also starred alongside Shannon in her film Superstar, an offshoot of her Mary Katherine Gallagher character.
