There’s been a lot of talk about a sequel to the geniusly sweet comedy, “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” in the last few months, it’s a movie many of the principal cast and filmmakers would love to revisit including director Adam McKay, star Will Ferrell and producer Judd Apatow.
Will it ever happen though? Who knows, but Steve Carrell said he would love to play Brick Tamland the lamp loving idiot weather man of San Diego’s beloved Channel 4 News.
If it happens what will it be about? No one’s saying. “I’ve heard some inklings as to what Adam McKay has in mind for a sequel, and it’s really funny,” Carell told MTV. “But I couldn’t say anything more than that.”
Either way, Carrell loved not only carpet and random furniture, he loved every second of playing the polite, punctual, what some might call, “mentally retarded” weatherman.
“That is one of the most fun things I ever did. I laughed until I cried, every day on that movie.” But wait, in the sequel, wouldn’t Tamland be married with eleven children and be one of the top advisers to the Bush administration? Whatever, this post is almost certainly just an excuse to write, “I love lamp,” and post Tamland’s greatest hits below
