Ron Burgundy Is Staying Classy With His Own Podcast
The fictional newscaster is back — and it's kind of a big deal.
By the beard of Zeus, everyone's favourite TV newsman is back — in podcast form. Not content with his regular job at KVWN Channel 4, or with being the star of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, Ron Burgundy is giving another medium a whirl.
Co-produced by Funny or Die, The Ron Burgundy Podcast is headed to the iHeartRadio platform in 2019, with two 12-episode seasons on their way. The first batch will hit your ears in the first quarter of the year, with Burgundy telling everyone why it's kind of a big deal, we expect. If you want to stay classy with the second season — and likely hear the anchorman chat while sipping scotchy scotch scotch and talking over his beloved dog Baxter — it's due mid-year.
Fans can reasonably expect that Will Ferrell will reprise his role as the fictional San Diego newscaster, although that's not actually mentioned in iHeartRadio's announcement. As well as playing the character in two films, Ferrell is one of Funny or Die's co-founders, so it's a safe assumption that the actor will be involved.
In true Ron Burgundy style, he had some words about the news. "Listen, I don't know what a podcast is, but I currently have a lot of time on my hands and a lot to talk about. I am also broke. Therefore, I am very excited to do this podcast. It is literally saving my life."
If you're now in a glass class of emotion, a trailer for the show will drop in the coming months.
The Ron Burgundy Podcast will be released on iHeartRadio in 2019.
