Anchorman 2

Longtime WCCO Minneapolis anchor Don Shelby: “I laughed until I cried and I hung my head in shame one recent weekend in New York. After you see the movie and laugh at the ridiculousness of television news as Ron Burgundy portrays it, go home and ask whether what passes as journalism today really is journalism. For those of us who tried to inform, it is not easy to see television journalism turned into a punchline.”

Actor and comedian Will Ferrell reprised his Anchorman role for the Bismarck, N.D., CBS affiliate’s Saturday night news broadcast. The former Saturday Night Live star is promoting its upcoming sequel, Anchorman 2. Ferrell read stories while engaging in some banter with co-anchor Amber Schatz and the rest of the news team. “What? Am I supposed to read that?”
