Nearly a decade ago, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy became an instant classic starring SNL alum Will Ferrell. The comedy took in $29 million its opening weekend, according to IMDB.
Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues features huge names such as Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Harrison Ford, Jim Carrey, Christina Applegate, and former SNL star and Oscar nominee Kristen Wiig.
Will Ferrell has been appearing and reporting on news as Ron Burgundy at local news stations around the country in a media blitz leading up to the premiere of Anchorman 2 over the last several weeks.

Meanwhile, One Direction will be returning to Saturday Night Live again to promote their most recent No.1 album Midnight Memories. The guys were featured in a sketch the last time they appeared on SNL – is there a chance we may see them stretch their hilarious acting chops again?
