The 49-year-old actor brought back his _Saturday Night Live_ impression of the eccentric broadcaster — who passed away in 1998 — during Monday’s episode of _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_, making a surprise appearance to chat about baseball, the afterlife and Donald Trump with the show’s host. “Donny Trump, oh boy. I knew him when he would sneak into the press box and throw Kennedy half-dollar coins at the Dominican players,” Ferrell said. “Trump’s got those little tiny mitts. He looked like he was flinging silver dinner platters with those things.” He even led the audience in one of Caray’s famed renditions of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” Watch the full clip above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4544614/will-ferrell-harry-caray-jimmy-kimmel-cubs-world-series/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4544614/will-ferrell-harry-caray-jimmy-kimmel-cubs-world-series/"},"headline":"Will Ferrell Revives Harry Caray Impression in Honor of Cubs' World Series Berth","datePublished":"2016-10-25T18:09:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:59.619Z","description":"It's the team's first World Series in 71 years","url":"https://time.com/4544614/will-ferrell-harry-caray-jimmy-kimmel-cubs-world-series/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Sports topic","Television","Jimmy Kimmel","TV","jimmy kimmel live","Will Ferrell","Chicago Cubs"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4544614/will-ferrell-harry-caray-jimmy-kimmel-cubs-world-series/","name":"Will Ferrell Revives Harry Caray Impression in Honor of Cubs' World Series Berth"}}]}] ```
