Its just boomers of his peers that are jealous. I remember seeing my first Will Ferrell movie when I was 12 years old. Night at the Roxbury. "Are you touching my ass"??? lmao I am 40 now. I am pretty sure that was his first movie as well.

[@purplebeard1526]

He's very hit or miss for me. I consider Talladega Nights an all-time comedy yet the appeal of Old School escapes me.

[@-danR]

I'm fine with Will Ferrell, but like Seth Rogen, I don't think he's particularly funny. Original Ron Burgundy was OK, Rogen was good in The Interview. Other than that, big-guy loudmouth shtick don't turn my crank.

Ron Burgundy ripping Will Ferrell is the comedy bit I can watch all day. 😂

I love seeing former SNL castmates work together like this. It allows Will to stay in character while also knowing how to make Jimmy break over and over again.

They need him back SNL was way better with Will

Anchorman 3 needs to happen now! We must know if the Channel 4 News team make it through the '90s!!!

[@audeybarrera]

Hola pinches

[@MikeRiderOOO]

I’m not sure if he and Adam McKay are going to bury the hatchet and make an Anchorman 3. He’s still pretty sore about losing that role on the Lakers show on HBO.

[@DanielThureskog]

There is an idea that the third one will take place in present time. Where the news team has a podcast.

[@theobuniel9643]

Ain't gonna happen. Adam McKay and Will Ferrell are beefing right now.

I’m shocked at fallons ability to step on every comedic timing - and talk through all pauses that would enhance humor. I mean just by sheer experience he should be such a pro.

Anchorman drinking game: Drink every time they say Ron Burgundy's name, chug when Baxter gets punted. Some of the most fun I've ever had watching a movie with friends.

I legit want a Deadpool saves the Channel 4 News Team movie. I feel Anchorman had the EXACT edgy to a point humor that MAY work for a Deadpool movie & Ron meeting Wade would be gold. As far as Rudd being Scot too "yadda yadda multiverse"

[@Disney65Fan]

Can you imagine Ryan Reynolds doing this as Deadpool on the Jimmy Fallon show.
