Character: Ferrell plays Jim, Jenni's father, in You're Cordially Invited.

More recently, Witherspoon has starred in series like Big Little Lies (2017 - 2019), The Morning Show (2019 - present), and Little Fires Everywhere (2020).

The actor then gained further notoriety playing Portia Davenport in the HBO Max comedy series Search Party (2016 to 2022), which led to roles in films like The Oath (2018), Palm Springs (2020), Joy Ride (2023), and Bad Monkey (2024).
