today on larry king now the channel four news team is back look at this face it's a normal face. it's him face it's like a tractor beam it's a beacon of hope it's anchorman two will fare all and david ketner people like ron because he's obviously a silly before but at the same time he he represents authority i think in a way and we like to see your our leaders made fun of that's my smart answer plus director adam mckay and producer judd apatow i think the one thing that i brought to it was what would make rubber going to you're a real person does that say what's he like when it's quiet house and for how do you get him to do this real i daresay that's all ahead on larry king now.

with us now will ferrell and david character the costars actually is david's film and you will is also in it will also big dog who also called it you know how it all all we have certainties you came up with its flame the carrot why is wrong burgundy it. well look at this face right it's a normal face. it's him face. it's gloria yes right it's like a tractor beam said something beacon of hope that this is ron i think wrong people like ron because he's obviously a silly before but at the same time he he represents authority i think in a way and we like to see your our leaders made fun of that's my smart answer but he's an idiot yet. yes it's you know. at home we like to think of ourselves as lot

of smarter than the idiots who are running things whether it's your boss or you know a teacher or someone from the government someone pointed out this film makes a statement about the media doesn't it car chases more than the head of the p.l.o. yeah right we you know when we decided to choose one nine hundred eighty is the launching point for that's when c.n.n. has been seen in began and we thought all this would be a fun opportunity to have you know a broad funny p.g. thirteen movie that reaches a wide audience at the same time have a little satirical edge to it with a comment on twenty four hour news and ron and his guys are the. forefathers of how we report that your character how do you see him you're supposed to have a dozen most sports writers no sports he's in denial a lot of ways he's a raging alcoholic he's

a homophobe get lately homosexuals he's racist and saajan just makes him yeah i'd just zero ethics that's how i see him so he's just so how emotional relates to the play what's the screen that's worth the script all that stuff in there to me and there's a lot of fun complexity to play with and he's also. got no nothing but anger as he's as that's what he uses as a shield of denial to get through life because he's basically in a bad emotional place this is going this is sounds that he doesn't it's it's every duty heavy duty that's mr going to you're going to walk out of you're on the right cham guy who came up with the shark. that was an idea i think adam mckay came up with because we were talking about how would you want to you know this highly anticipated sequel what would be a funny way to start it and so he's underwater and beside you we could sort of this was because for all we could start it with ron being attacked by

a shark. slain it way in. oh i hope that would be great and if it stayed and how did you model feed a shark very delicate. out of the water to out of the water you know i was going to try to say that's our last man but i can get. everybody in this and they couldn't wait to do it. we're having so much fun but. we really like each other obviously we get along communicate we get to do these interviews together and the other fun part is we're finally as a group getting getting to take a little pat on the back for the first movie which we didn't get to do it didn't it didn't have it was a modest hit you know who was going out but it really grew in popularity for five six years after and so now we're kind of getting credit as a group for the first movie how do you explain that growth. why i think because people thought it was just

a big dumb movie and i got that but it is the movie is really a satire at the center with all this silliness around it and he will watch it use there's so much humor tucked in that you didn't see the first time for instance where walking down the hill at one point we're all just casually littering you probably missed it the first time but then what he said here like i think is it's just not even finishing what we're reading i took a half a corndog in awe and i thought you know kind of comments on a lot of things that are american comments on american society in ways you like oh that's another thing we do and fans upon repeat viewings got to rediscover those jokes and that leads to a really strong ownership of the movie and is even more of this right yet avians the hockey stick for be funny we got a funny from larry king but no it's funny yes i thought once the watch cartoonish yes he does this to do you i just gave. i i i

skate in if you describe ice skating being able to comfortably get on and off the ice yes i skate so how do you do that some of these these being too humble i remember that night watching him do that now he doesn't play the flute i'll give him that. here's this guy out there it's cold. and he just goes and doesn't he's laughing have a good time he's a guy that just moves his body in a certain way and he could make it funny he's making ice skating funny i couldn't i didn't do those spends though there was no there was no but the rest of the guys just gliding along like wow look at him you shove this in the blimp and one of the limpers well we really see it as been beaten moon i wish i could say it was you know it's the tax break in jordan yeah. that's the glamorous answer i was pained to learn that was only three days in new york and yeah. even central park was in some room so it's fake it's well it's sort of the

characters i mean you know people. there wait a minute you're destroying my holy there is no ron burgundy sorry not right now not not at least at this moment and he really knows sports camp know you know ron stuck at la guardia right now. when you do a comedy you don't play it funny that's another thing we all share in common we're totally committed to the characters you never wink at the camera. and that the juxtaposition of being totally committed with the fact you're saying ridiculous things makes it funny but christine is there a couple of times a few flesh of the squiggle have to catch it we do break up and they lifted it and they left a little bit of the break up will increase well it happens because you don't want to your own rule anyone else is telling but sometimes you just you know you can't help it i have the good fortune to have that big cowboy hat so i can act like i'm

adjusting it. so if that happens that means i was laughing you break up. in my personal life. and relationships. you know i am you know i mean you know yes. i break up on a kick cage and i'm pretty i can hang in the market pretty good or good lighthouse scene no you know toward the end of the filming and was the last scene the four of us were going to do together and i don't know if it was a combination of two things none of us could keep it together and i couldn't at all and adam said don't worry your we're on your back right now so we're shooting the other way go ahead laugh it'll be around. we get around bosomed and all of this movie is it hysterical we're the only thing not in a sure bet true we believe that it was dealing with belated but i feel so incomplete i would. turned you come to me and i turned it down it's the reason they

think we already need to know being here in europe three you're up first how much space do we need before the next from eighteen year eighteen your first cigarette to double that of the eighteen i asked my friend albert to know how to play blind number he the great your how did you play blind i just watched but you know. no he said you look at one object and just focus is yeah i would kind of squint yeah you would just focus not move your head it. was it hard. i don't know i didn't think about it yeah i didn't it didn't seem that all and i mean but i didn't have the pressure of being realistic with my blind where al pacino in that movie had to do in a dramatic performance i'm doing such a list yeah i've never seen a more arrogant petulant blind person. who came up with the idea of a lighthouse when i was out of service i was out of an i o. you know with the idea that rod has to go blind and he's everything i did well and

i think he should live in a lighthouse. but how do you in that comedy or suit does he run the might ask you to shut it off i don't know. who let him live in a white house black man can't run a light. picture sound how does he drive a car over here. don't you guys wave is over when you see it i did i were the first time i saw it i was laughing really hard and i stopped as to what am i doing because i thought i heard laughter in the theater live oh yeah they're all laughing too and that was all industry people so i thought that was a good stuff but i enjoy these guys i enjoy watching these guys and laughing them i was laughing when fact when i came on the screen i'd stop writing yeah yeah friendships have developed from this right you to view for him because i've known we'll since ninety five we're both actually hired on a saturday same day really and then went to a yankee game that night yeah and we're both really was just which is happening and

where you stand ups us catch sketch and improv you know david from second city in chicago and i came from the groundings in l.a. i do stand up no you know you do say oh it's the you know because i was negligent what are you doing next will oh by the way you know my kids right they have seen the other guys oh really seven hundred times that is one of the great movies that's great and i proceed with walburga and what do you do in that. i am actually i think i'm doing going to do this movie with kevin hart starting in the spring called get hard hit hard where it isn't it doesn't know where you think it's another it's an underground. where is it about where i am a i'm a white color financial person who's been sentenced to a harsh maximum security prison. term and he gets me ready for prison is

a comedy comedy. where you don't know maybe we should be doing. standup the first three months of the year during a little tour called together again with just me and then. there's a movie coming out called the cheap throws fantastically is a lame gun goes out march it's a it's a sinister thriller with dark comedic undertones they shot in twelve days well that's always a it's getting old it's river cheap thrills and spills you'll love it who's in it ethan embry pat heelys are paxton in myself and it was a great little ensemble picture but it man it pulls you right in it's a pressure cooker that and then i did this thing with brant but in canada it's going to come out called no clue and then also david cross shot a film this summer the paralegal at sundance called once if you want to do something serious. i've done it on occasion and i've thoroughly enjoyed it

serious large roles in pictures but give us the new series regular readers of fiction another movie called everything must go. so i got to do it a couple times i think you're ready for the death of the cells we don't get. for the fall we'll leave for larry king's mouth to god's ears you must see this movie the only thing not in that is me. we get it and it's sort of it's not going to tell you it's not completely. if it was a family's very hard to take a look at once again took so long here there's a lot that you that had sex with that earthquake there are no plans for that one a lot.

of sleepless nights. if cliff. sleep on your arm in a life. like you know. pleasure

to have you with us here on our team today i roll researcher. lead. that. aside. i think. kind of thing to. do and the banks call them all about money and vasily fix the politicians write the laws and write. something. there's just too much. of a. look at. least one you're going to like the new knowledge base it's like you know.

a pleasure to have you with us here on our team today i roll researcher. lead. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy allmers. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and our crass cynical we've been hijacked by handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once i'm tom mark and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually

going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem. rational debate real discussion critical issues facing that define ready to join the movement then walk then. we now welcome to larry king now adam mckay and judd apatow the producer writer directors they do everything on anchorman two what do you know i'm the producer the producer yes adam is the writer and the director and the producer he's got three things and i got three what does a producer do you know mostly hug it to

a town and i'll say where's the spot where is the spot who does a good spread who does a good shot to massage and then i stay there this is important stuff and then what i say people go why are you on the set and i say because you got to let the director direct the film what am i going to do micromanage and then so you deserve it i disappear and then i. up with larry king. and that i take credit and get a percentage of the profits and i get a tip nass of percentage of the profit are you a hired hand because i'm a hired hand yeah i just take care of my strap a towel i make him look good and at the end of the day we're all smiling who comes up with what the men want give me the origins we didn't begin or that was will and i wrote that scripts wrote a crazy version of it that no one in hollywood would make we basically took it to all the studios and financier's in town twenty six of them all said no was that the one we saw it was a different different one that we'd then brought his drop

a towel and rewrote it with him and then they made it because of his name because he found the good spot and what did you change and whatever your age you know i think the one thing that i brought to it was just trying to talk about what would make ron burgundy you're a real person in addition to what was so funny about the character i just kept saying but what's he like when he's just quiet. when he's on like when he's at home . and i think oddly you know you really care about him as a person is very sweet will so sweet and so you know the idea that isn't love but why that is why wasn't it a mission or are how do you explain its genesis in the not initially hit and now become a worldwide favorite through what i had no idea i was hoping you could tell us why this television to playing and kids loved it and d.v.d. and television and snippets on you tube and people kept watching it over and over

again and. you know the character is kind of an infectious character so i think people eventually took to it as a lot of jokes in the movies so when you go see it in a movie theater for the first time you don't fully appreciate that somebody is there's nobody watching but lots yeah i certainly was it just funnier the fourth time you did when we would watch it in the editing we would laugh so hard on the one hundred. if you have it we would go look at chorales doing in the corner he says eating a banana for no reason we would notice all these little details and i think other people have that experience was that a difference is it true there's another anchormen script that has not been done that is crazier than this one well that is the one we tried to get made that every studio said no to no that is still around it was we still have it yeah maybe that'll be the third one i don't know can you tell me just briefly what was crazy about it well it is hard getting crazier than this one all the anchor people on the play roll out a plane headed to an anchorman convention so it was the fifty guys on

a plane and one woman and the court yes of course it. was over so i get confused that's right mr president stick with her and basically crash into about him and then they it becomes a survival story beside him with a lot of the flies away and they end up fighting baboons with martial arts weapons . all the craziness and that's going to be to bring in on the house and for how did you get him to do this i don't want to tell you who else is in it because everyone's a surprise but house of one comes on early as we lived there or something and he told me to tell him there was a family dinner called impersonating his son he showed how did we get harrison ford and i remember we always wanted a mini maybe our first choice when my dad as a peer favor. just someone did us a favor and another an agent said. of

show up and harrison showed up and he was very aware of the movie he had seen the movie and not had as in the movie had not watched the movie even before he came to shoot it he just was never a good man when i think he claims he will never see it after shooting him you ask and later if he'd seen it and he said still no i said no i haven't seen it and then his children hadn't even seen i said we have probably seen it he does know they haven't seen it either we still don't know why he showed up but i'm not perfect. but he were a terrible is very very funny and i think that people take for granted that the reason why we love star wars and raid is a lost art is that arson ford is really funny and i think he personally wrote a lot of his material in a lot of movies and he's quietly one of the great comic actors working with will what is not like. you know will is just so collaborative he's like such a kind of giving actor you think of hollywood stars is that it has to be me me me

but the weird thing about will is he's always trying to set other people up in the scenes he's trying to make everyone else funny and he's a great writer too i mean the crazy thing is on set with them you know when we start improvising which we do a lot of he's always coming up with the greatest lines who came up with. the shark . and on the great characters and so on and that is what they do a questions of all time. with the shark that's why i. don't know who did come up with the shark i remember the telling me about it is that there's going to be a whole sequence where he raises a shark this is feral and i in his house basically trying to make each other laugh and at some point there was a shark and then we told judd about it he goes really a shark and we go yeah a shark is a good producer or imagery of how to be a producer they say hey we have two holes he goes he raises the shark when i said. i'd rather see how that goes. and came up with the ice skating. that i think was

we'll yeah i think we wanted to have him play the jazz flute but we felt like something else needed to be on top of it and he did he state. you could skate a little bit as a doubles skating for a bit what makes me laugh is the cuts from double to will to double to will be as close as i said what do you think he looks like he is getting a little bit yeah he gets skinnier and chubbier skinnier chubbier well yes i'm a stunt man to will which makes me like you know one of the all of the larry king live in the twenty six year history of larry king live at c n n one of the great shows that was talladega nights it's one of my favorite things whenever both of them are on my show and it was the only show i ever did my life that is scripted and everything said on that show was in my prompter if i wrote it yeah i don't want to as their uncle knight that was my state and carrot i just brought that up to will the other day i said that is the grit to this day the greatest thing we've ever done ever to promote

a movie we've done with the uniforms amazing and you totally straight and in the whole time it was like a one act play or something i think that was amazing new baby jesus. i get a copy of that is there going to be anchorman three of the look this is obvious this pitch is hysterical about it on anything you don't know it's funny if i gave it a quarter of a laugh riot i think it's a laugh or other surprise upon uma is surprise uma doesn't work unless it surprises you and says a million surprise and you are the ghost busters is the first one for my first movie that's right ninety's is there an anchorman three. should there be yeah you have to tell us the time salute you think so but we got to wait a little while right you cannot ten years yeah but i think like two years at least to me as you have a job on it yeah that is the worst thing i do like the fans demanded this second one is how we get it's we want to let them demand it a little bit of doing anything in the interim other other project well what are you

doing i work in the t.v. series girls oh those are doing this and so that starts up in january and i'm going to make a movie this summer with a comedian amy schumer really funny woman this summer you like comedy i do like comedy i don't really trust anything that doesn't have jokes if i see a movie it doesn't have a joke so i feel like it's not true as you will not produce a remake of death of a salesman there's some jokes in there. surprise. but you know i it's depressing i've shot things that have funny i mean the dramatic scenes in them and then everyone's depressed that day but they're not to present a bottle raising a shark because it's what are you doing on am working on a movie with will smith and denzel washington remake of uptown saturday night the old movie from the seventy's. so hopefully we'll be doing that next summer you know both of them to get wow that's what we're hoping yeah i will definitely committed that he was interested did you have any trophies doing reasons yeah you know did

you have any trepidation about the racial scene the been there. no you know we knew that the joke was always on the side of the fact that burgundy was so ignorant and if the joke stayed on burgundy and how stupid he was and never got mean spirited or it was a race we knew we were in good shape and right away when we tested it the audience identified there was zero he's an idiot and so on as that was the joke we knew we were ok there's about an hour cut from this about three hours worth of the regret of the thing you cut and it is going to be a d.v.d. that has a alternate version of the movie that has done obviously there's a d.v.d. wasn't it i sure hope the d.v.d. you got to host the d.v.d. i think it's a great idea you can do it right now look at that camera and walking over to the d.v.d. welcome to the d. the b. of anchorman two you will see things never seen before scenes cut that the cast

regrets you will cry you will laugh you will go home better than you were before enjoy anchorman to revisit it. i just got dollars it's amazing that for he did it like it was free but i doubt boy is your goal here really all that on the d.v.d.'s we have you guys are tremendous talents they have broad comedy to a new level you should be very proud to see great great. pleasure so let's see well in a snowstorm nonetheless a jewel in the snow. i

know c.n.n. m s n b c news have taken some not slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's close and for the truth from the mike think. it's because one whole attention and the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on here. at our team we have to print press. because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not going. to have.

you guys talk to the jokes i will hand over the fact that i've got a. i am a professional. i always am true without firing single rooms full time as if. i know the night of fatigue but i take pride in my work but for one thing. i do not know might. not the one who kills that distinction belongs to the nut who pulls my trachea. i am an assault rifle my name is gushing go. somewhere a group of elite soldiers from russia's interior ministry or amounts to start an exercise in the morning they line up information according to tradition.
