Will Ferrell Admits He Was 'Such a Bad' Bank Teller That a Customer Once 'Berated' Him

Will Ferrell recalls his nightmare pre-fame job as a bank teller, admitting in an exclusive clip from 'Sunday TODAY with Willie Geist' that he was so 'bad' he'd lose track of money and once had a customer 'berate' him in front of his manager.

"My first day, I remember leaving the house, I said to my mom, 'I would rather do standup comedy on The Tonight Show naked than go to work today. The Saturday Night Live alum says he "would make one transaction and then shut my window down" between helping each customer for fear of making mistakes, and he estimated he probably helped one customer "every 15 minutes" his first day on the job. "The nerves never calmed down to the point where, there was a regular customer who would come in every Thursday to cash their check or whatever, and I couldn't do the thing he wanted," Ferrell says.
