The Ron Burgundy blitz continues. Now, instead of congratulating movie stars on landing porny roles or hawking Dodge Durangos, Will Ferrell is making your wildest dreams come true by co-hosting, in Anchorman 2 character, an actual news broadcast for CBS affiliate KXMB-TV in Bismarck, N.D.

Life may imitate art, but reality is, sadly, more boring than fiction. Burgundy, on an actual journalistic leash, is not as entrancingly dumb as the Burgundy of Hollywood fantasy. Still, try not to crack a smile when he compliments the local weatherman, or narrates a nearby parking-lot trash fire.
