Will Ferrell's Manager: Which late night show do you want do tonight? Ron Burgundy: Yes

[@ryatnatsu]

@C P woah just take it easy man

[@urlocalbug7578]

@C P chill out dude

[@kevindimauro3937]

Honestly though this format of joke is way too overused

[@TheBioExplorer]

@C P Wow... tense or something dude?🤣

[@TheBioExplorer]

@@kevindimauro3937 Fair enough!

[@roof1975]

You guys realize he did all four talk shows and was on every show tonight? lol

[@EvelynRobinson22]

he did 6 late night shows

[@avoqado89]

Kimmel's Video has the title EXCLUSIVE

[@proballoonboy5120]

What??

[@mayflower7811]

Yeah but how did he get from NYC to LA so fast

[@FreeToBeAFreak]

May Flower and they film these shows a lot earlier than we think, not too sure what time each one is filmed, but I think The Tonight show is filmed around 3 or 4pm. He probably did all the New York shows then went to LA? Or prefilming, idk.

[@killuaonhorse]

Will Ferrell being Ron Burgundy as a stand up comedian went down exactly like it should in the movie lmao.

[@dt7197]

you know why it wasn't in the movies? Because it's shit whether or not it's Ron Burgundy.

[@Flagrant_Violations]

Dt 4.1k likes to 300 dislikes. Idk worse ratios make people millions and consistently hold the highest office in the country. Just saying. Lol. He needs to do more call backs to some of the anchorman bits to get the room going a little and on the right wavelength if it’s a straight bit unless he’s trying to the full tension. Actually if he could get at least one or two of the other guys or ladies to play off for parts of the set that could be hilarious. It felt like people were kind of jolted into it, didn’t get it and that’s kind of how a lot of stand up sets go when they’re on late night because it’s a different context. It’s still a smart set regardless.

[@J_Strong]

Indeed, i think this could qualify as "anti-comedy" Where they do so bad that it becomes humorous again out of irony.

[@karenkeller3056]

Haha! Correct, EF. IMO, it's like Tony Clifton coming out and them explaining it's Andy Kaufman. Part of the joke is playing along with the set-up that this is an actual person. Obviously it's fine, not a huge deal- the other shows understood the concept a touch better is all :)
