Not that “Anchorman 2” needed any more promoting to get people to want to see it when it comes out in theaters on December 18, but just in case it did, the video above should probably most definitely do the trick.

Will Ferrell in character as Ron Burgundy showed up to join an actual newscast at the KXMB in Bismarck, North Dakota over the weekend. His co-anchor, who had a serious challenge ahead of her trying to keep a straight face, was Amber Schatz.

The video above isn’t the entire news show, but it includes enough segments to show you just how hilarious it turned out to be.

As a matter of fact, I can’t even decide what was funnier: seeing Ron try to do an actual newscast, or seeing the actual news anchors trying to keep a straight face while he was doing that.

Regardless of which one it was, it was hilarious.

Stay classy North Dakota!
