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

ByDarren O

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. Sweet Lincoln’s mullet!

On Friday the film Bully will hit theaters on a limited release.
