This is kind of a big deal. Will Ferrell’s Ron Burgundy stopped by not one, not two, but six different late-night shows as a surprise guest on Thursday: “Conan,” “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” “The Late Late Show,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” “Late Night with Seth Meyers” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
The sharp-dressing, dull-minded, mustachioed anchorman from “Anchorman” wore the same turtleneck-scarf combo when he performed some stand-up comedy on each of the nighttime talk shows, which, as Burgundy told Fallon, “has been a lifelong passion” of his for “about a week now.”
From Corden to Kimmel, every host played into the joke that Ferrell was Ron Burgundy(?), talking with him in-character so he could promote the new season of “The Ron Burgundy Podcast” on iHeartRadio.
