larry king. is back steve carell paul rudd and christina gate you can't imagine how much fun it was to go to work every day and laugh until you cry every day i'm hoping when the movie comes out that steve will still just go around with me and talk about you become a much bigger person star than you would when this was me and a bigger person. having money like i did and i did not get it. james mars than getting a good idea not where that's the job. it's not knowing your lines or showing up on time it's don't break with will that something unexpected plus we're told or there's going to be an intimate three is there a tall when we start shooting it's all ahead on larry king now.

we continue our trek through anchorman two one of the funniest movies you will ever see and two of its stars steve carell and paul rudd join us here in the us live as . women in the get worse too we're going to be staying here tonight i have the three of us this room maybe in this room all of us. what was it like to come back to this it was great and these guys have become some of my best friends i don't have a lot of friends he's alone. with they're the best and i think we also we all signed on before there was even a script in place that's how much faith we had in the process and any child out of that we filmed the trailer before the script. that place really yeah they announced

the movie and then a week later we got together and shot a teaser trailer of the first film didn't do great in fact became a cult film had explained that well it has the benefit of playing on cable a lot so it's so dense with jokes that i think on a repeated viewing some of those jokes started to just borrow their way into people's brains but i know that when i read the script for the first anchorman i loved it but i thought nobody's making a movie like this it's so strange and and that and totally it was very different than other things that came out at the time so i think maybe once people got a little more used to the tone of it they were maybe a little more open minded to what do you think it didn't work but it didn't or big i think it i think at first it felt like sort of a a a movie that we would have made for our friends and people who have a very specific sense of humor because i agree i mean i read the script and as we

were doing it and you could only use yourself as a barometer for what's funny but i thought it was hilarious and then when it came out it did all right but it certainly didn't capture national attention but i gree i think it just sort of seeped in do people's consciousness over the years and we wore them down when you came back you came back sans right and no script right did you like this new one right away yeah well it i know that i couldn't wait to read the draft when adam and will you know finished it and what i thought it was hilarious but two i thought it was actually you know pretty poignant and what they were you know takes on a lot of vision sure does more than the first one much more and i thought it was a very clever way of tackling that steve also to both of you you become a much bigger person star than you were when this was made and a bigger person. did you have to do as heavy money i did and i did not get it

really cool and still haven't got it you know you are so you honestly wasn't for any of us about the money we signed on it was it was absolutely about just doing a second one it was so much fun you can't imagine how much fun it was to go to work every day and laugh until you cry every day for a couple of months and then frankly we've been doing this world tour promoting it and that has been as much fun as anything there's most people hate promoted now with these guys it's pretty great it's been fun to travel as a as a group and have you going went to london we went to australia ireland and london you know where this movie's first movie is also took them all right yeah for summer yeah those three cons i mean other places as well but i don't even know i didn't even think that the first one was released over there but again over time. it made

its way over there right and develop the character how do you see your person in the film who is ian why is he attracted to the bad woman. well he is a who is brick who is brick i don't i don't know if brick know superrich is brick is pretty isn't a big money there's no one like him right there's church should i hold and associate with them both who are you find him if i have no women in my repertoire who i've ever met like i'll say this i said i think he's very child like when we did the first one i had a very very small child and i thought this the eyes of a child looking into the world and not i feel like i'm deconstructing the character of him rick the most prodigious thing of the world but that was kind of in the back of my mind he's extremely earnest and naive and sweet and these guys just take care of him it's one of the things i liked about the first and second movie is that these. the guys really care for one another and they're there supporting one

another and there's there's never any time where they. don't know what i'm like listen we didn't really have judgment you know they don't judge me on the hall each other really they genuinely like they did and i think that that comes across in a maybe allows you. to kind of root for these guys more than you have one because we're all horrible in our own ways when run hurts them you feel for them yeah yeah no we don't like that at all and it's never happened how do you see your character who is easy. you know who has been is not a great journalist clearly. i see i had this idea i mean when the first one came around to it i thought well i want a mustache and i want to have that kind of i want to have longer hair i think in the back of my mind i wasn't based on anybody but i had this mishmash of like

somebody that looked a little bit like geraldo somebody who looked a little bit like tony orlando and somebody wanted to look like serpico that really makes them all together and makes them feel it was just as a person is really likes the way they look and kind of a rough guy that can handle himself on the streets and is dashing and sexy but i don't think he can do any of that and it's so bizarre we were of the film would make san diego for me the people of san diego have really taken the snow to heart i think definitely i think it's as you enter san diego now it says home of ron burgundy. working with all these people who make these quick shots in you know and we want to give away a lot of the movie who know how recent was obvious because he took his in early right what was that like lolo's characters come in for you know it was very exciting for the ones that i met i never got to meet harrison ford which is a just

a complete drag you know semen that's with them and that was what i heard that he could have been more excited and then i realized that in anything to do with the day to get to meet him it was a real letdown stephen i didn't meet him either but. we did meet a lot of people that the big fight sequences were at the end of the movie there are so many cameos and some people you wouldn't expect to be in. and and especially those people that you don't expect to be there are the ones that i really enjoyed when you playing something bizarre because that's a good would do you comedy is a serious business you know you don't think you're funny and i don't think you're funny is it hard not to play funny. yeah you want to see the reality of so you have to believe in the garbage view absolutely you know is as ridiculous as every single moment is it's not ridiculous to the writers yeah it's harder to play i don't think

it's harder to play i think it's just a choice you make that you know well i think it's the same as doing a drama you know if you're in a drama you don't know it's a drama it's just because your character don't the characters don't know that they you know it's just the characters in this don't know they're in a comedy necessarily have it your are so absurd. well he's not even of this world i mean i think he's living in a parallel reality completely so. he doesn't even know what country he's. this is you did with the young lady what was that like for you while kristin wig plays a young lady's wig who is there a little hysterical how they did not break up just looking at her we did on the many occasions she she's she's never not funny she's always good and that the banter back and forth between us would change every single time and it was almost impossible not to laugh every time but she's great and she is definite she is

definitely cut from the same cloth as burke what are you going to do next i mean follow this. i don't know i mean and i'm not sure what i'm doing next but this was i don't know this was. this was one of those things that i knew would be special just from personal place just because i love these guys in the first one was so fun to work on that. i have been looking forward to to to just even talking about it to doing a press tour with these utilized that i really do i mean it's a really really fun special group of people and and the movie. means a lot to me so it's been it's been great i don't want to i'm hoping when the movie comes out that steve will still. go around with me and talk about it and we've told her there's going to be an intimate three is there a tall when we start shooting. are you doing this i'm going to jump to be traveling

by one man show where i portray breck. that's. called a meeting with brick and i think he says like four or five things sporadic men just standing there and mostly just stands there it's not an hour show. where i got to do that i have a movie coming out next year called foxcatcher that's much more dramatic and complete it's the movie i shot before anchorman so that'll come out when you plug your i play john dupont it's a story of john dupont and his wrestling on. the air the dupont empire and how he became involved with olympic wrestling it's very you know it's true story out of bed. it seems so clearly they saw this. as a thought that's the power play job to part. of i want to come to you guys a tour of just can't say enough about this for thanks very much on a seven year really. well.

technology innovation all the developments from around russia we've got the future covered. most of the new alert animation scripts scare me a little. there is breaking news tonight and we are continuing to follow the breaking news. alexander's family cry here so why aren't you writing that. frown oh my god is this.

well those are two sick people. christina applegate larry king this is larry king now in new york. from the opening of the end there man two hundred head of this whole thing started to lose him from the anchorman original no one i was just called to come in and audition with well so i came into the first reading with well and when it went well i was nervous because of the the looseness of the audition process for them where they just kind of go ok will do whatever you want to do and

i start to get very very nervous and i think there's footage of it out there and i'm pretty nervous but it must have been enough because that i ended up doing a screen test with will and the rest is history what do you think of the movie was it a big hit so they will cope yeah i mean sure does what do you think why i thought it was i mean to us it was really funny because we remember being there and how much fun we had and you know when it opened it's just sort of this night not even a moderate success it was kind of like a disappointment for them i think they had bigger hopes for the original opening weekend and i remember someone from dream works calling me the next day and was like it didn't happen we didn't we didn't make what we wanted to make and he was really really unhappy and then all of a sudden it's like over these last years it's like it's grown and grown and grown. i think people start passing it around and you know because of the dialogue is so out there. that makes it quotable and you know i love lamp i mean that you don't

see that in a lot of movies so i think that because of that sort of bizarre nature people are passing around and then now we've got this one new generation of kids who you know can see it and have become obsessed with the me and the world to yours thank you so you know i think it's a perfect i think. i think it's so genius it's as if we planned it this way to wait this long because i think right now it's felt like in the last five years that more and more people are starting to love it love it love it and watch it over and over and over again and you know kids who didn't even know who kelly bundy was like only see me as veronica corning stone now so it's kind of it's great it's like we've touched this whole new generation of people with our bizarre little flick so it was no problem getting you to combat no i mean i was begging i mean it at one point i had heard a smattering that i will probably wasn't going to be an it so i was really really

sad and i was begging going please just i'll do anything i'll do it one scene anything just let me just let me come back and be with you guys for a minute and. then you know it all worked out not all things on screen worked out well was it a happy shoot oh my god yeah absolutely every day laughing every day happy every day grateful it's hard to you know especially for me now that i'm a mom and you know to to leave home early in the morning to go to work is always it's not as like i'm not as exuberant about it because i miss my daughter but on this i would get up and i was so happy and so grateful to be going where i was going to go with some of the writing yes there's that and i know in her that she's a very serious very serious person early and i you know i approach everything i do i approach it as if you were doing you know a drama and then you just kind of you anyone who does comedy knows that it's a he just kind of go above the reality just a little bit you twinkle above it just a little bit and that's where you can kind of let the audience off the hook and

they can laugh with you is the harder to break up when you're shooting. the first really with this kid yet the first movie i really. i pride myself on having been incredibly professional and for the most part did not crack up unless i was completely shocked by something that came out of will's mouth. but on this one i don't know what happened to me whether my focus wasn't there but i ruined so many takes on this one and i think i just i was enjoying myself so much that i somewhere in the middle of the scene i'd become an audience member and i just to start laughing and i think i actually have kept a little moments in this movie i think pretty much of each of each of us where you see us start to break and i don't know if adam did that on purpose but it's usually at the end of a scene you can kind of see someone's eyes start to glimmer a little bit of a mouth corner going up and. so that'll be kind of like the where's waldo of the movie so that you can see the parts where each of us are starting to break

or is there a move. there is about an hour and fifteen minutes i think it out there in the original cut was somewhere and i don't know if i'm speaking out of term i believe adam said it was about three hours long. so there are things that are gone well there's some very nice you're mad at it but i matter god you think should have it while you know there's stuff that i liked that we did that's not in there and there's that there's there was a scene when i was with the boys and i'm sad that that one's out because it was the only one i had with them but there was a musical number that i wasn't a part of but that made me laugh really hard so now you are meant to be on the d.v.d. . there's no bearskins or yeah five and a half years ago your mother had a my mother had it you were your daughter yeah course they do because i know that my mom and i both have the brocken gene. but i also know enough now to.

provide her with the best nutrition and the best dealing with life tools and she's going to you know without her knowing i was going to be monitored pretty closely so you do you hope of know with prevention involved in the i did she ever i have a foundation that's called right action for women that i started five years ago after my diagnosis and what we do is not only we do we bring attention to people who are high risk and who are brock a positive but we pay for m.r.i. is for women who are high risk so we've got about two hundred women in the program right now that we provide yearly m.r.i. as for because our eyes are very expensive and a lot of insurance companies don't cover the costs so you really do. need money because they're expensive how do we find out about the right action for women dot org right for women the gordon couple of other things taking roles do you get serious roles when you get this is funny. not so much

you know i think that there are you know i handful of us girls out there who do do this comedy stuff and you know at least we we try to. in the in the in the boxing with our male counterparts and i think there are just a few of us who can kind of do that who can ping pong match back so we really get provided like that's what we we get there been stuff that's come around that's been a little bit more serious with things that i couldn't end up doing because of schedules and whatnot we're all a little drop it when famous people who grew up with those will be able all the way with a wizard from the deuce to see that work happen or they started naming off the group that was going to be doing cameos in this movie i was just i was astounded by the amount of people i mean they were all people that contacted them so the first time i think they had to reach out and get like favors from friends from the you know

the ben stiller's and then you know i please can you just do this one line but on this one they had so many that they had to like not take calls from people because they were it was almost getting too much it was too many people wanted to be a part of it so that was pretty that was a really nice feeling to be i mean when the shooter seemed to know they wouldn't dare do that i think that's why it was three hours long we were there well and. i'm i have taken a year off to be a stay at home mom so that's what i'm doing right now. i love it love it get up with it in the morning and make breakfast and we hang out and we make lunch and take her to school and i pick her up from school and i get taken advanced class and . put in a bad and it's great it's the best thing ever and this movie's going to go through we are well we have we think so we hope we hope so we hope so you never you know there's a lot of hype around it so you kind of have to step back and expectations are planned disappointments you know sort of step here to rip it thank you sir thank you thank you for steve navigate the movie is right there man two you will love it

. too is now a reality of this hysterically funny drop dead level movie and two of his stores are megan good and james marsden meghan plays linda jackson who's the son runs the network. and in relation with the take over with james marsden who plays you played evil basically the essence of evil was that. yeah yeah yeah i don't know if this says about me but it was a more fun to play that i find it fun to play bad you know i find it easier to play and what that says i don't know to me the more extreme the character the more interesting it is especially with comedy neither of you were in the original how did you get into this when they can you get the part i got the call i was actually here in new york filming a show and i got the call that there was that role in there and so i sent a tape and then i came out

a week later to atlanta to test well and they're all over the audition room and punched him in the stomach and they gave me the job to do like the original love the original he and i mean and probably ninety eight point eight percent on the behind it was not a hit it was a coke film did you like the original i did i auditioned for the original really for paul's role and for steve's role paula the first yeah i didn't get either one of them. but yeah i guess they i made some some impression and they remembered ten years later when you were decision for something don't get it then you see it come out and oh do you feel i don't watch it. i don't see the movies you didn't cast me only watch my own films so actually you know this was this is one of those i read the script and i thought was interesting movie comedy about you know like anchorman is that going to work or is it not and but i knew will's specific brand of comedy and if you would imagine him playing this character it's you know it's

a slam dog and to see the movie find an audience and find success over time even it was you know it was like it was like knowing the band that not everyone really knew love so you kind of kept it close to yourself and it was very special to you. and then over time it became popular and you still like this but you were happy for the group for it to become successful how did you live were those who will he's such a genuine humble sweet kind of giant. and even so nurturing and just wanting me to do well in him and adam both we really everybody it's kind of a mass of you know family unit and community but i was just appreciative that you know again he just was so whatever you need you know how can i make this awesome for you what do you make of the hysterical black white you. doing the dinner scene yeah and one of the funniest individuals seen yeah yeah you know i read it in the

script and i laughed out loud enough as i laughed aloud at myself and then i called my sister that he got to hear this and we both laughed together and then you know i was i was excited because i felt here as a way to address things you know here is a way to address ignorance and do in a way that is disarming and doesn't make people feel attacked or maybe shed some light and i think it's clever i think it's brilliant i think it's funny but it's funny with a specific purpose the family was a perfectly cared for the everyone at that table not everyone knew what was coming really that all those reactions were like it's like there are going to people that there will be arabs everywhere it's a people and then you know yeah i mean and if this is a mother and they want to take my brother and it's like. you know everyone else is like. this they like it if they any sure that was by design yes definitely the character you play james is a one note isn't that hard to keep that note going when it's a really high note yeah that is

a very i know. but it's also it was also fun and liberating to kind of just storm out of the gates like that and go right after him i mean i played this guy who's. the hotshot news anchor at the at the at the station and is a classic schoolyard bully and he like like all bullies they pick one guy out and for whatever reason they just don't like him and ron is the guy that i pick out and run team looks perfect and his team looks perfect and the hair is perfect and you know you clearly spends a lot of time on his ass that appearance but. but it's fun to take ron's character which is so you know outrageous and just knock him down a couple of notches in the way that's the job really is the job it's not knowing your lines or showing up on time it's don't don't break when will that something unexpected or anybody will do and he will but the on the you know on the other side of it if you get will to break that is gold and i've managed to do it twice really twice in my whole life it's a good they're a great group of guys and

a lot of people talk about the improv and all that on set and what i learn from this is how unselfish these actors are when they do improvisation they set each other up for jokes no one's a comedian sometimes you know can be you know try to steal the spotlight and these guys come in a very generously welcome new talent and they set each other up for jokes it's a really good environment was there a lot of their lives there was there was we would go in and do it as written and then adam mckay the director would say ok feel free to improve on that how did you learn you got the part. i had a phone call not too long after the read through saying you know you killed it at the read through and we'll read through it in atlanta it was an l.a. you know you went to atlanta i would guess i went to atlanta and then i went home and i got the call in my living room and i just started crying like i was napping and it woke up i was like what it's like. thank you it's a rip it's thank you they sent you thank you for the nice pleasure thanks to james

marsden and meghan good and to all my to reflect guests from anchorman two the legend continues this hysterical film a story with love that is available in theaters right now and i'll see you next time and you can follow me on twitter at kings that. i've got a quote for you. it's pretty tough. if they wait substory. let's get this guy i'd like to smear that guy stead of working for the people motivations in the mainstream media were pretty much on the bridegroom's days you know.

they did rather it was. wonderful strong arming allies these policies i dislike you. pleasure to have you with us here on our t.v. today i roll researcher.

the the. what's going on guys i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set so here's some interesting news coming out of ten downing street the british prime minister david cameron is taking heavy criticism of the purging of a decade's worth of speeches and videos from the conservative party's websites that's right i think there's a wave of historical revisionism sweeping cameron's government after all it's hard to prove that you haven't lived up to any of your initial promises if they're completely expunged from the public record now of course party members are defending the move saying that purging the content is a campaign strategy aimed at replacing old messages with new ones but cameron's former speechwriter in burrell disagrees that this is just a campaign strategy and that quote the use of safin.
