3. Will Ferrell was an Actual Mall Santa at One Point

Before they made it big, Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan worked together as a mall Santa and Elf duo. Will Ferrell recalled once: "I have some experience playing Santa Claus…Chris Kattan was my elf at this outdoor mall in Pasadena for five weeks, passing out candy canes. It was hilarious because little kids could care less about the elf. They just come right to Santa Claus. So by the second weekend, Kattan had dropped the whole affectation he was doing and was like (Ferrell makes a face of bitter boredom), 'Santa's over there, kid.'"
