Will Ferrell resurrected the character Ron Burgundy from his hit 2004 movie Anchorman for a very special occasion.
The legendary actor, 56, gave quite the performance as he joined Kevin Hart, Ron Gronkowski, Nikki Glaser and Kim Kardashian on stage at The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady during the live streaming on Netflix Sunday.
And in true comedic fashion, Burgundy walked on to the stage, fashionably attired in a brown corduroy double breasted jacket, an peach and white striped shirt and a purple paisley tie.
His helmet of brown hair was neatly coiffed and his caterpillar inspired mustache was neatly trimmed.
‘My name is Ron Burgundy. I am a very big deal but tonight is not about me,’ said the humble television personality.

‘We are here to honor a champion of the gridiron, a great American, a father and a sexy man, a true patriot, until he was not, of course,’ he began.
The noted television personality knew who he was honoring, but didn’t seem to know where he was, identifying the Kia Forum in Los Angeles as Madison Square Garden in New York.
‘I never liked you Tom… in all my years of watching professional football, I never saw a more boring quarterback,’ said of the former MVP, 46, who had, ‘ruined football for all of us.’
He also joked that watching a Patriots game ‘actually made me look forward to all the fun and laughter of a Bill Belichick postgame interview.’
And then, it got personal.
‘Holy sh** this man is gorgeous,’ he cried. ‘I’ve seen him on TV before but in person, e-chihuahua.’
‘Whoa, look at those cheekbones. That’s a million watt smile right there, and those eyes. A person could get lost in those eyes, and right now I am that person,’ he went on as the audience roared with laughter.

‘Ron, pull it together! You’re a straight man. He’s making you question your sexuality. Stop looking at him. You’re here to make fun of him, not fall in love. Concentrate!
‘Tom, it’s clear, everybody up here loves you,’ Burgundy declared after failing to get the audience to boo Brady.
‘I love you, although it might just be lust. Could be love, we’ll never know.’
He then commented on the all-star’s future.
‘I can’t wait for you to be up there on Fox Sports commentating on the game you loved, or playing for the Raiders in the playoffs, or coaching the Patriots, or whatever the f**k you’re gonna do.’
