I could go on for whole paragraphs about Tiffany Boone's Roxy Jones, who feels like she fell right out of a Blaxploitation epic; or Josh Radnor's Lonny Flash, a "Tony award-winning" actor-slash-Nazi killer who immediately struck me as a more bloodthirsty take on Paul Rudd's Anchorman character.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - In "The Assistant," a young woman's concerns about her movie mogul boss are brushed aside; "The Morning" explores the fallout when a popular anchorman is accused of sexual harassment; and in "Curb Your Enthusiasm" comedian Larry David gets into a pickle navigating office politics and dating in the #MeToo era.

" Throughout his film and television career, Mr. Ferrell has used his height (he's now 6-foot-3) and athleticism to his advantage, wringing laughs as Buddy, the oversize Santa's helper, in "Elf"; the preening, looming broadcaster Ron Burgundy in "Anchorman"; and the goofy stepfather battling a buff Mark Wahlberg in "Daddy's Home.

The Boston Celtics, a 53-win No. 1 seed playing at home with revenge on their mind, were utterly trounced by the Cleveland Cavaliers in a game so lopsided that watching the entire second half was more like a Ron Burgundy line in Anchorman than usual postseason garbage time: Boston, you pooped in the refrigerator?

Last month, Drake's What a Time to Be Alive partner Future released "Mask Off," a song built around a hypnotizing flute sample from Tommy Butler's 1976 song "Prison Song," which then inspired the internet to mash up the track with clips of everything ranging from the Zelda series' Link playing the ocarina to Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

She makes her entrance in a neutral tobacco-colored honeycomb-print blouse, for example, but dons a luminous yellow shirt when she believes she has hit the ratings jackpot when her increasingly unmoored anchorman Howard Beale (played by Bryan Cranston) delivers his famous live broadcast announcing he is "mad as hell" and can't take it any more.

I certainly would not have predicted that Adam McKay, the director of the "Anchorman" movies and "Step Brothers" (which is a bona fide masterpiece, but that's a topic for another day), would make a movie that not only explained the financial meltdown of 2008 but also did so in a way that was crowd-pleasing and rabble-rousing at the same time.

Owner Zach Neil turns out drinks like the Milk Was a Bad Choice and the You're My Boy Blue (showing the range of the bar beyond exclusively Anchorman lines), while the space itself is littered with various Will Ferrell accoutrement including movie posters, actual outfits and details from film sets, and lots of signed stuff from all over the place.

After discovering that Mr. Mansbridge is paid $1.1 million a year, about 15 times as much as what the CBC had publicly suggested, Jesse Brown, the founder of the podcast and digital news site Canadaland, sat down with media writer Steve Faguy to discuss not just the future of the anchorman but the prognosis for the entire Canadian television industry.

Burgundy dips into standup tropes (muttering "What else, what else" and pacing during segues, shouting out local sports teams and suburbs at length) and generally just exudes a darker, sadder version of that original Anchorman id: an ageing man just self-aware enough to be terrified of his own ever-growing irrelevance and of how little he understands the world, fighting that fear with self-delusion, non-sequiturs, and yelling.

In a 15-tweet thread—complete with Madea and Anchorman gifs—she explained how she saw the pupper on the side of the road, picked him up, and took him to a Wisconsin Humane Society where she learned that a "very bad person" had left the dog and his three siblings in a rural area and, although his sisters were taken to the shelter, he was somehow left behind.

" As November approaches, Eichner's mission is to reach as many people across the US as possible, one event at a time -- with help from celebrities (such as Sarah Silverman, Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver and Chelsea Handler) and people Eichner described as "hometown heroes," local activists and leaders from across the US. Funny or Die kicked off its midterms initiative with two events in California: one in April in San Diego, featuring Ron Burgundy, Ferrell's infamous "Anchorman" character; and one in May in Los Angeles, at RuPaul's annual "DragCon.
