The original Anchorman Ron Burgundy made a rare appearance on, not one, but six late-night television programs.
Will Farrell took up his fictional alter ego Thursday night, taking over the stage at 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! all in one night.
On one show, the fictional San Diego anchor performed stand-up ventriloquism with a bearded dummy.
On another, Burgundy poked fun at current events, joking that the biggest story of 2019 is the Bueller Report.
