Completely in character as the infamous Ron Burgundy, Ferrell, 46, read the local Bismarck happenings without so much as cracking a smile — but his fellow newsreaders could barely keep a straight face.

Well he's got another 15 minutes coming up as they are doing a sequel to that "Anchorman" movie series.

Not a huge fan of Will Ferrell but he did do a great imitation of George W. Bush on SNL. However, my favorite performance by him is the one he does on this parody website.

Agreed. Nothing Ferrell has ever done has made me even chuckle.

>>Are his 15 minutes up yet? Never found the character to be funny!<<

It is a SNL cycle — Player makes a comedy or 2, thinks he/she is comedy gold, takes the same character way too far, sycophants pay anyway, player makes a string of dud (including at least one “serious” move), player become a has-been but still counts money long after they are funny or good.

America has a stupid streak in it that way.

In my opinion, the next funny thing Ferrell does will be his first.

15 minutes? Will Ferrel has been around forever, he’s a well known comedian and will have his name in the annals of comedy.

I don;t like him. Didn’t used to dress up as a cheerleader or something.

Never funny.

I’m with Stewie Griffin on the subject of Will Ferrell:

He did the 'more cowbell' skit on SNL, surely that has to be worthy of at least a chuckle

Agree; however, I like him best as Alex Trebek.
