Will Ferrell Wears Referee Gear, Calls Penalties on Video Board at Kings vs. Lightning

Will Ferrell had some fun during the Los Angeles Kings' matchup with the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night.

The actor and comedian sat in the front row of Crypto.com Arena dressed as a referee, calling penalties throughout the game on the video board.

Ferrell also joked that he trained two of the referees officiating the contest.

The 58-year-old is a California native and noted Kings fan, displaying his unique attire and firing up the home crowd while attending games in recent years.

Los Angeles owned a 16-13-9 record heading into Thursday's action, sitting at No. 5 in the Pacific Division standings.

The Kings are looking to go on a deeper playoff run during their 2025-26 campaign, as they've suffered first-round exits at the hands of the Edmonton Oilers in each of the past four years.
