Ron Burgundy to Return In Anchorman Sequel
Will Ferrell announces on Conan O'Brien that there will be a sequel to Anchorman.
Prepare your handlebar moustaches and jokes about rich mahogany; Ron Burgundy is returning in a sequel to 2004's Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Appearing on the Conan O'Brien show on Wednesday night, Will Ferrell, in full Burgundy costume accompanied by his jazz flute, announced that a deal had been struck between Paramount and the character who launched a cult following eight years ago.
Ferrell had previously written off the idea of an Anchorman sequel, saying it would be too expensive to get the cast back together, and while there's no confirmation as yet that Christina Applegate and Steve Carrell will return as Veronica Corningstone and Brick Tamland, respectively, it's expected the majority of the original cast will make an appearance in the sequel.
After a couple of minutes of banter with Conan, Ferrell proclaimed, "I actually have an announcement. I want to announce this here to everyone in the Americas. To our friends in Spain, Turkey and the UK, including England, that as of 0900 mountain time, Paramount Pictures and myself, Ronald Joseph Aaron Burgundy have come to terms on a sequel to anchorman. It is official: there will be a sequel to Anchorman."
And then he sauntered off backstage playing the jazz flute.
