Stay classy, Bismarck! Will Ferrell anchors local North Dakota newscast as Ron Burgundy

You stay classy, Bismarck.

Actor Will Ferrell surprised viewers in North Dakota on Saturday, co-anchoring KXMB-TV's newscast as Ron Burgundy, his mustached character from 2004's "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," to promote "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues," in theaters later this month.

Ferrell joined KXMB anchor Amber Schatz following the Auburn-Alabama football game for the entire, 30-minute broadcast, including local hockey highlights.

"I've never seen fighting in a hockey match before," he joked. "That was fascinating."

And when it came time for his famous "stay classy" catch-phrase, Ferrell's Burgundy botched the send-off.

"What?" he asked. "Am I supposed to read that?"

To sit there (mostly) with a straight face while RON FUCKIN' BURGUNDY is doing the news with you, freelance and on the fly, is absolutely the definition of Professionalism. Good on you Amber, and I wish you much success in your chosen field.

Will Ferrell is not funny, nor are any of his performances on SNL or in the movies.

I'd consider this stunt of having Ferrell on the set something that undermined the professionalism and credibility of the newscast.

There were times she looked liked she was going to crack up.
