Ron Burgundy is a classic character that, because of his arrogance and stupidity, never ever gets old and is always good for a laugh.
The former San Diego news anchor is easily Will Ferrell’s most memorable character. The iconic character has spawned two films, the first immensely better than the sequel.
Due to his immense popularity, Ron Burgundy is coming back, but not he won’t behind the anchor’s desk. Instead, he’ll be behind the microphone, likely giving his hilarious takes on current events and the news of today.
“The Ron Burgundy Podcast” is set to hit iHeartRadio in early 2019. The first season season is slated to be 12 episodes. The legendary newsman is already expected to do another second, which will hit the airwaves later in the year.
In announcing his podcast, the leader of the Channel 4 news team, did so in the most Ron Burgundy way ever on Twitter.
Hello, @donlemon! It’s your good friend, Ron Burgundy. 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.

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! 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!”

Have you heard of “podcasts?” They’re hotter than Jane Fonda’s workout tape! Anywho, I need help getting the word out about mine. What do you say best friend?

Please do not start a podcast and stop contacting me.

Okay, so no podcast plug. Got it. By the way just so you know, our friendship is over. YOU GO STRAIGHT TO HELL. DO NOT DISRESPECT ME IN A PUBLIC FORUM. DON IS A GRADE A JERK. BURGUNDY, OUT.

I’m starting to think Don ate the hot dogs. Not how I wanted to do this, but I am formally announcing I am doing a podcast!
