'Anchorman’ Character Ron Burgundy Just Landed His Own Podcast!

Dec. 4 2018, Published 5:49 p.m. ET
Anchorman fans, rejoice! Will Ferrell will be reprising his role as Ron Burgundy for a very special occasion — a brand new podcast.

According to Deadline, the new show will be co-produced by Funny or Die and iHeartRadio. It has already been given the green light for two 12-episode seasons.

Will got into the spirit of things by taking “Ron” over to the newly minted podcast’s Twitter account to announce the exciting news. However, he quickly got into a social media battle with CNN’s Don Lemon.

“Hello, @donlemon! It’s your good friend, Ron Burgundy,” tweeted the film anchorman. “Don’t know if you heard, but I recently had my White House press credentials pulled. They accused me of eating too many hot dogs in the press break room.”

Don played along. He responded, “Mr. Burgundy, I gotta be honest I don’t remember ever meeting you and frankly I’m a little shocked you have White House press credentials. I know I stand for a free press and all but just not so sure you should have those credentials.”

“Don, I am laughing out loud!” Ron replied. “So about that favor: the media landscape is changing so fast and I DO NOT CARE FOR IT. That's why I'm starting a 'podcast!''

The pair continued their hilarious back and forth until Ron finally wrote, “Not how I wanted to do this, but I am formally announcing I am doing a podcast!”

The upcoming show will air in early 2019 on iHeartRadio’s Podcast Network.
