BREAKING NEWS: Ron Burgundy will be at Staples Centre and gracing us with his velvet voice and comical anecdotes. This is not a drill.

The fictional news anchor from the Will Ferrell comedy Anchorman (played by Ferrell himself) can always be counted on for a great one-liner or a questionable joke. He will be in the booth on Thursday, March 21, for the broadcast when the L.A. Kings take on California rival San Jose.

 

 

As a native of San Diego, Burgundy likely feels as though this match hits close to home.

As you may expect, the announcement was followed by a flurry of Anchorman references and gifs.
