Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

(2004) Directed by Adam McKay. Anchorman Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) is San Diego's top-rated news anchorman in the 1970s. While Burgundy is outwardly willing to adjust to the idea of females in the workplace. The arrival of Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), an aspiring newswoman, is, in Ron's eyes, not the studio's most welcome addition. After Veronica pays her dues covering so-called female-oriented fluff pieces, the ambitious Veronica sets her eyes on the news desk; more specifically, on Ron's seat behind it. [Comedy]
