Saturday Night Live repertory debut
Ferrell makes his debut as an SNL repertory player after several guest star appearances. He hopes to help “rejuvenate” the show:
There are a lot of entertainment options on a Saturday night. I don’t think SNL was much of an option in the last two years. At least the people I hung out with didn’t watch it. Everyone said, ‘ “Saturday Night Live?” It’s bad.’ But it’s the type of show that always has the potential to regenerate itself and turn everything around.
Five other new rep players join the cast alongside four returnees.

Speaking of the role, Lawless says:
Xena’s a mystery. She has a certain mystique, she doesn’t give out too much, you don’t know too much about her thought processes. Which is why you watch, you know, she’s got the devil on her shoulder and you don’t know which way she’s going to flip because she’s always lived at the best on the edge.
