A full decade after the first Anchorman became one ofmost popular comedies of the past decade, and quite possibly the most quoted, Burgundy and his on-air team — blustery sportscaster Champ Kind (Koechner), imbecilic weatherman Brick Tamland (Carell), and ladies'-man field reporter Brian Fantana (Rudd) are back at it.The sequel is set a few years after the original, in the late '70s and early '80s. It finds Burgundy who has lost everything and been reduced to announcing the dolphin show at SeaWorld getting a shot at redemption when he and the gang are brought into the new world of 24-hour cable news. Christina Applegate returns as pioneering female anchor Veronica Corningstone, whose stormy relationship with Burgundy has gone through some major ups and downs in the intervening years.
Meagan Good also will be joining the cast playing Linda Jackson who will be the new head of the news room.
Kristen Wiig joins the cast as Brick's love interest, and a host of celebrities have reportedly shot cameos, including Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Kanye West, Jim Carrey, and Harrison Ford (as a seasoned, Walter Cronkite-esque newsman).
''We actually attempted to get President Obama in the movie — that would have been the cameo of cameos,'' Ferrell says. ''But he's got a lot on his plate.''
