Will Ferrell spilled even more details about Mariah Carey's ill-fated cameo in his new movie, "The House," and why it downright disastrous to work with her on set.
While the singer's appearance didn't make the final cut of the film, it's all anyone's been talking about leading up to its release. Cedric Yarbrough and Rob Huebel have already spoke out about her diva demands and last night, Ferrell got in on the action on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen."
The comedian confirmed Carey showed up 4 hours late to film her scenes, adding that he was sent home before she ever arrived. "At 11pm there was a knock on my trailer door and they said you can go home," he told Cohen. "I got in my car and left everyone on set and it didn't happen."
