If you can believe it, it’s been five years since Ron Burgundy returned to the big screen in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. While that movie may not have lived up to the lofty expectations of some fans, there is no denying that the character of Ron Burgundy still manages to somehow remain somewhat relevant in the pop culture zeitgeist.

There have been plenty of fans hoping for a third film at some point, and while we sadly cannot confirm any goings on in the film department, I’m happy to report that fans will get their Ron Burgundy fix in a different way. According to Deadline, Will Ferrell will be reviving his character for a 12-episode podcast. The podcast will be produced by iHeartRadio and Funny or Die and will be launched on the iHeartRadio Podcast Network in early 2019. This has been followed up by a series of tweets from the official Ron Burgundy Podcast Twitter account interacting with CNN’s Don Lemon.

Hello, @donlemon! It’s your good friend, Ron Burgundy. Don’t know if you heard, but I recently had my White House press credentials pulled. They accused me of eating too many hot dogs in the press break room.

They said I ate 12 dogs! I only ate 4 dogs!!! I’m not Kobayashi for cripes sake! Anyway, old friend, was wondering if you could do me a favor.

— BurgundyPodcast (@BurgundyPodcast) December 3, 2018

Don, I am laughing out loud! So about that favor: the media landscape is changing so fast and I DO NOT CARE FOR IT. That's why I'm starting a “podcast!”

Have you heard of “podcasts?” They’re hotter than Jane Fonda’s workout tape! Anywho, I need help getting the word out about mine. What do you say best friend?

— BurgundyPodcast (@BurgundyPodcast) December 3, 2018

Okay, so no podcast plug. Got it. By the way just so you know, our friendship is over. YOU GO STRAIGHT TO HELL. DO NOT DISRESPECT ME IN A PUBLIC FORUM. DON IS A GRADE A JERK. BURGUNDY, OUT.

— BurgundyPodcast (@BurgundyPodcast) December 3, 2018

I’m starting to think Don ate the hot dogs. Not how I wanted to do this, but I am formally announcing I am doing a podcast!
