In the most inspired innovation to hit televised hockey since Fox slapped cartoon comet tails on the puck, Ron Burgundy served as a celebrity analyst on Thursday night’s clash between the Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks.
Burgundy, for the uninitiated, is a movie character — to be more precise, a witless TV anchorman — portrayed by Will Ferrell.
Burgundy/Ferrell (it’s difficult to know where the actor leaves off and the character takes over) joined Kings broadcasters Alex Faust and Jim Fox for the second period. If your boss is taking an extended lunch break, you might consider watching the jocularity in its entirety.
