Will Ferrell works security at Staples Center, 'ejects' Shaq from Lakers game [VIDEO]

Will Ferrell took his brand of comedy from the silver screen to live performance art on Tuesday, donning the red blazer of a Staples Center security worker and escorting the legendary Shaquille O'Neal out of the Los Angeles Lakers-Phoenix Suns game.

Shaq, as a certain 1970s newsman once put it, is kind of a big deal. But there's no word on why Ferrell thought he deserved the boot.

Sports Illustrated's Richard Deitsch tweeted out this photo of Ferrell's nametag, which reads (naturally), "Ted Vagina."

Via ‏@espo, the badge on Will Ferrell's Staples Center security tag is "Ted Vagina." Seriously. twitter.com/Espo/status/30…
