It has always seemed like it would take a holiday miracle for Elf 2 to ever happen, as Will Ferrell has made it clear he’s really not interested in returning as Buddy.

There is little doubt that Christopher Walken is one of the more eccentric actors in Hollywood today. His most recent stunt may well have cemented that status. In the series one finale episode of the BBC Series The Outlaws, the 78 year old actor painted over a Banksy original painting as a part of the story.

For one night only next week, The Late Show will go back in time and reunite The Daily Show.
