Will Ferrell will revive his Anchorman character, Ron Burgundy, for a podcast.
The Funny or Die produced show will be available early next year. It has already been picked up for two, 12-episode seasons.
The announcement was made yesterday when the BurgundyPodcast twitter account began trolling CNN’s Don Lemon.
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.

They said I ate 12 dogs! I only ate 4 dogs!!! I’m not Kobayashi for cripes sake! Anyway, old friend, was wondering if you could do me a favor.

Lemon rolled with it immediately.
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.
