Cord and Tish first appeared during Amazon Prime Video's coverage of the 2018 Rose Parade
Cord and Tish, the fictional local TV personalities Cord Hosenbeck and Tish Cattigan, first appeared during Amazon Prime Video's coverage of the 2018 Rose Parade. The characters were played by comedians Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon. The broadcast was a parody of classic parade coverage, with the pair riffing on everything from the event itself to their "poor correspondent on the ground", fellow ""Saturday Night Live" alum Tim Meadows. The duo played eccentric broadcasters who had covered the parade for 25 years, poking fun at the floats and their phony personas. While some Amazon users missed the joke, leaving one-star reviews, the show still earned an average three-star rating.
Cord and Tish's commentary was certainly unique, with Tish commenting on the "army of people" making the floats, and Cord wishing he could get them to clean out his garage. At one point, Tish asked if it was true that no one knew what happened at the end of the parade, to which Cord replied, "Even though that song is called 'September,' I can hear it any month of the year!".
The pair's banter didn't stop there. At one point, they had the camera on them while they talked about nothing, with interesting floats passing by behind them. This led to some viewers' disappointment, who felt they missed out on seeing the floats due to the commentators' inane conversation and inappropriate comments. Despite the mixed reviews, Cord and Tish certainly brought a unique and entertaining perspective to the Rose Parade coverage.

The Royal Wedding Live with Cord and Tish aired on HBO
Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon reprised their comedic media personas for the spoof coverage of the royal wedding. Cord Hosenbeck, a self-proclaimed fan of all USA Network shows, including Suits, which starred Meghan Markle, presented a spoof of the show. Tish Cattigan rambled on about the royal couple's astrological signs, noting that "Prince Harry is a Virgo and Meghan is a Leo, which is usually a very challenging relationship".
The special was not well-received by all viewers, with one IMDb reviewer expressing disappointment and boredom, despite their fondness for Ferrell and Shannon. They had expected amusing repartee between the two but found the content lacking in humour.
The Royal Wedding Live with Cord and Tish was not the first time Ferrell and Shannon had portrayed these characters. They had previously covered the Rose Parade for Amazon, and some viewers were unclear that this was also intended as a spoof.
