Of course, even an anchorman of Ron Burgundy's caliber wouldn't be anywhere without a superstar news team. Thankfully, the movie did an outstanding job of filling out the crew behind the Channel 4 News. The diverse group of funnymen playing his posse, including David Koechner, Paul Rudd, and the still relatively unknown comedian Carell, accentuate Ferrell's comedic prowess. Each of the actors perfectly fits into their respective roles, adding their unique brands of humor to the already amusing script.
While fans got to know the entire Channel 4 News team well over the course of two films, many deleted scenes helped audiences learn even more about them. Much of the content deleted from the original "Anchorman" film was collected into the direct-to-video counterpart film "Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie." However, the blooper reel for the first "Anchorman" showcases a collection of unused taglines by the four seasoned stars of San Diego's favorite news. Filmed in the same tone as a short TV commercial, the Channel 4 News crew delivers a quick line that perfectly encapsulates their characters. "Nothing like a good strong lady and a tasty BLT," Burgundy fittingly says. Rudd's character hilariously ends with his self-advertising signature "Fantana!" Meanwhile, Carell's not-so-bright weatherman character Brick nails it on the head saying, "When there is weather to report, I report the weather."
