'Anchorman' Ron Burgundy's Legend Continues, Joins Call in Kings-Sharks Game

Will Ferrell's fictional persona made his sports broadcasting debut.

The Kings' newest announcer is kind of a big deal.

FOX Sports West announced that Anchorman character, Ron Burgundy, the ficitional broadcaster played by Will Ferrell, hopped in the booth during Thursday's game between the Kings and Sharks.

Ferrell, err Burgundy, joined Jim Fox and Alex Faust for the second period and brought along his delicious, yet filling burrito with him (the two shared an intimate moment during the Kiss Cam). The glass of milk also didn't seem to be a bad choice this time around for Burgundy. 

Burgundy's debut in hockey commentary certainly did not disappoint. 

Ferrell has played a role in the sports world before. In 2015, he took the field at 10 different positions for 10 MLB clubs in one day. He's also been tabbed to play ex-FIFA and Concacaf executive Chuck Blazer in an upcoming HBO film. Ferrell is also a minority owner of MLS club Los Angeles FC.
