Ron Burgundy is back…but he’s not bringing his blow-dried pomposity to the big screen in another Anchorman movie. Like pretty much everyone else, San Diego’s most famous fictional TV news anchor is launching a podcast. 

In early 2019, The Ron Burgundy Podcast debuts on the iHeartRadio Podcast Network, and it’s already set for two seasons with 12 episodes each.

The show will be co-produced by iHeart Radio and Funny or Die, the company founded by Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Michael Kvamme, and Chris Henchy.

“Listen, I don’t know what a podcast is, but I currently have a lot of time on my hands and a lot to talk about. I am also broke,” Burgundy said in a statement to iHeartRadio. 

“Therefore, I am very excited to do this podcast. It is literally saving my life.”

To announce the show on social media, Burgundy himself took to Twitter with the new Ron Burgundy Podcast account and spilled the beans through an admittedly lengthy exchange with veteran CNN anchor Don Lemon…about eating too many hot dogs.

The entire hot dog exchange culminated to these three semi-climactic tweets:

The podcast airs early next year, and until then, stay classy.
