Seacrest interviews Ferrell during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about bringing his Anchorman character Ron Burgundy to real news stations.

That might be the most satisfying because that’s an idea I had when the original Anchorman came out. But everyone thought it was crazy back then. But to actually read the news with the local news time while they tried to keep from laughing is a highlight of my career.

Seacrest interviews Ferrell during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his film Anchorman 2.

It’s finally here, I have been promoting this since 2012. No, it’s been great. We’ve gotten to do a lot of left of center stuff. To get out and kind of do a lot of the stuff in character has been an absolute blast.

Seacrest interviews Ferrell during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his feelings on the Rob Pattinson & Kristen Stewart breakup.

Everyday is different, it’s a roller coaster of emotion. They’re talking and that’s good enough for me. That’s the best I can hope for right now. But I still hope they’ll get back together. My hope is that they wake up from this a couple years down the road and say, “Hey, let’s get the band back together.” So to speak and, “Let’s rekindle the magic. What we had was so special.” I don’t know, it’s tough to stay together in Hollywood.
