Armed with spirited flute, a dapper Ron Burgundy announces Anchorman 2

“I’m a man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. That’s what kind of man I am.” – Ron Burgundy

Forget impartiality, I freaking love Anchorman almost as much as Ron Burgundy loves scotch so when the dapper news anchor from San Diego dropped by Conan I was beside the sides of myself in anticipation of what would happen.

Not only did Burgundy blow the roof off the studio with the cats in Conan’s band, he also gave O’Brien some advice on his looks and dropped one of the happier bombshells of 2012. Grab your tridents, slap on some Sex Panther cologne and get ready to party because there officially will be an Anchorman 2!

Yes! Straight from the glorious soup-strainer-topped mouth of Ron here was the exact confirmation:

“I actually have an announcement. I want to announce this to everyone here in the Americas. To our friends in Spain, Turkey and the U.K, 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. There will be a sequel to Anchorman!”

I’m not sure when to expect A2 to drop but until then I will bide my time for the man who knows, “I’m very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.”
