Will Ferrell Did a Late-Night Takeover to Promote His Ron Burgundy Podcast, and Things Escalated Quickly

Will Ferrell is back in Ron Burgundy mode to promote season two of his podcast, and on Thursday night, he took himself on a tour of the late-night circuit, wreaking havoc wherever he went. The former newsreader, complete with his signature glass of scotch, turtleneck, scarf, and coiffed hair, performed an "exclusive" stand-up set for just about every late-night show going, including Jimmy Kimmel Live, Late Night With Seth Meyers, and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. After all, he's kind of a big deal, so is it any surprise every network wanted a piece?

As well as his stand-up routines, Ron took the time to chew the fat with each host. On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he discussed everything from his sexual chemistry with Kylie Minogue to his upcoming headline show with Jerry Seinfeld and The Rolling Stones, while on The Late Late Show With James Corden, he hung out with animals from his hometown, as keepers from the San Diego Zoo brought alligators, a skunk, and a cougar for a visit. Throughout the whole night, Ron was full of all his usual "charm," and you'll struggle to keep a straight face as you watch him sharing some of his many stories. Catch up on all the best bits ahead.
