That's the magic of Will Ferrell, and it's sad so many don't see it. Meta is a word we use to encompass all the things. When it comes to Mr. Farrell's delivery, the term "meta" seems almost perfunctory. What is sad is there are people in this world who don't understand his comedic genius and insist on dissing him. Shame on you!!
So this is a Will Ferrell performance where he's playing Ron Burgandy pretending to be out of touch and rusty while doing stand up for the first time while he himself is the opposite. This is like the Inception of stand up comedy.
@@BuildinWings Sure, because the thing that really spoils art is when people know it's art, right? As for Kaufman, nah not really. Søren Kierkegaard did it better in Either/Or.
@@ArgonTheAware BOTH ways you say? Did you live in an Escher world? Snow never stopped anyone from going up hill to see their dealer, That part I believe.
The Andy Kaufmann vibe was the first thing I thought after watching only two minutes of this. And i only saw the man on the Moon Movie and after that a few TH-cam Videos just to see the real one.
The Pete Barbutti offhand comment by Colbert shows such a wonderful understanding of the Late Night Comedy genre and such a deep-seated interest in Johnny Carson’s guests. A lovely little gem.
No people. This was not Kaufman-esque. Kaufmen was funny because he bravely trolled the audience. He fully committed, and he didn't let the audience in on the joke. Whereas Will is making it obvious to the audience that the bit is "Ron Burgundy is bad at comedy." Not saying this was a bad performance (I thought it was just ok) I'm just saying this is most certainly not Andy Kaufman style comedy.
This was a lot of fun, Will's performance was spot on with a slightly awkward and out of touch, but still comfortable, slightly arrogant and smooth Burgundy, well, smooth in the way the character is with that slight derpy nature. However, while the whole routine was fun with some good laughs from me, I especially liked the last joke, scoring a nice smile from me at the end of this routine and encouraging a few claps of warm applause. Great routine Will! Er I mean Ron, I think. >.>
Ironically bad? You're just making up language as you go along. Attempting to get language to fit whatever is going on in your brain doesn't make it Joycian.
@@claydog6422 how's your health care costs going? Up here in social land we pay nothing for access to a hospital and doctor. Heart surgery, broken bones, kidney transplant , 6 months paid Maternal leave, all covered by our fair share of taxes on how much we earn. by the way how about ya'll stay home and buy your massively over priced drugs instead of an invasion caravan coming to buy our cheap socialistic insulin.
The layers in this: 1st: Ron Burgundy's act itself - it's cringey and awkward. Its funny enough that some people will take it at face value, call it bad comedy and move on. 2nd: Ron Burgundy the person - He's a washed up old celebrity, who has been doing showbiz for a long time, but he's not good. He is past his prime and trying to stay relevant. 3rd: That Ron Burgundy is on all these late shows receiving the star treatment. - This will confuse people who see his act and think that it's bad. 4th: Ron Burgundy's very existence. - He's a fictitious character created by Will Ferrell and portrayed perfectly. Will does this so well that you forget it's him and concentrate clearly on Ron Burgundy. That's part of the genius of everything. 5th: The whole act is hilarious - The beauty of this is in the details. It's not just the joke he is telling or the lines that he is saying, but the fact you're convinced Ron is saying everything. It's the equivalent of taking a character of a show you love and dropping them in the real world. Then you just watch them behave in the real world. 6th: The moments when Stephen ALMOST gets Will to break character and you see the whole thing for what it is - a great bit of comedy.
Okay, this is really like a modern version of Andy Kaufman and I'm all for it. Although I probably won't ever like a comedian as much as Andy Kaufman, cause he actually did it to audiences who weren't in on the joke or knew who he was. Which takes so much balls. This is still awesome.

All of them

Two: Will doing stand-up as Ron Burgundy.
I really want a conversation between Ron Burgundy and Borat
What a fantastic idea 💡
Very nice. I like
If the conversation is with Ali G, I'd pay big bucks to see that. Really fun idea.
Lol
This has to be a movie.
So this is a Will Ferrell performance where he's playing Ron Burgandy pretending to be out of touch and rusty while doing stand up for the first time while he himself is the opposite. This is like the Inception of stand up comedy.
Will Ferrell is NOT a stand up. He's sketch comedic actor. and pretty fucking arrogant to think this is worth t.v. time.
@@MrRogerSherman it's not arrogant it's promotional. Basically what any other celebrity on late night shows go on for
Either Will Ferrel is 100% lvl troll or hes bombing lol
@@MrRogerSherman you obviously have no sense of humor
He was on Fallon, Kimmel, Conan, Seth Meyers, everywhere tonight
This huge icon from the 70s/80s hasn't aged a day. Fuckin' legend.
People saying this cringey. His character is legit like this..that's the point..
yeah, but when something is stupid or complete shit, that's just all there is. No matter what the character interpretation is demanding.
@@BuildinWings Sure, because the thing that really spoils art is when people know it's art, right? As for Kaufman, nah not really. Søren Kierkegaard did it better in Either/Or.
Robert Richardson , Anchorman the movie worked because there were foils to play off of. When you take the character in isolation, it's just dull.
Will Ferrell's Manager: Which late night show do you want do tonight?
Ron Burgundy: Yes
@Katia Daher 🤣 I hope that is sarcasm.💖👀
@@TheBioExplorer This is Ron Burgundy... It's in the title
This comment is on every single youtube clip of him on a late night night show.
😂
This dude was on every late night talk show. Kimmel, Corden, Fallon, Colbert and Myers. Can't wait for Conan. Well played Ron?
It was co-ordinated across the late night shows - so it was awesome lmao
@@j.criquette3334 no, it was all pre recorded. He did a show a day, or so.

Fallon fake laughs too much and too loudly and Colbert hides it when he’s really cracking up.
Interesting.
Stephen has a theatre background which could explain that.
Fallon doesn’t fake his laughs tho
The Atlas legit can’t tell if this is serious or not but assuming it isn’t, I’d argue it seems like canned laughter from him about 75% of the time.
Yeah Colb is alot like Ferrell they both improv guys
Hendrick Wow, so insightful. Thanks for the input!
An hour long Ron Burgundy comedy special 🙌 is what we need
How brilliant is it to go out on stage and deliberately bomb it and that’s what’s so funny about it.
And barely anyone gets it
Andy Kaufman
It was rubbish, any fool can do that.
@@mikeysexton1166 I got it, it wasn't funny at all. See Alan Partridge if you want to see this sort of thing done right.
No. I really don't think that was the intention. Either way, it doesn't work.
only an Emmy winning anchorman can visit all the late night shows in one night
and make an exclusive debut on every show!
if it was supposed to be bad and cringy the internet agrees: he nailed it. nailed it with a rusty nail.
This was awful
@@elrey8876 yeah awful means funny he's doing it on purpose, will Ferrell stand up comedy in character
R/whoosh
This was completely unfunny.
KABOOOM!
Wow! What a genius. To INTENTIONALLY bomb - in character - on the Late Show. Stay classy - anyone who gets how awesome a stand up set this was.
tfw the reality of the world is becoming so bizarre that it becomes the plot for Anchorman 3
Ron: Me? I know who I am... I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude-
A warm glass of burgundy is exactly what this summer needed.
Stay classy Ron.

My wish came true will Ferrell doing stand up comedy in character
ADAM SEVANI Unofficial He has one on HBO Where he plays george bush.
You should really check it his hour long stand up in character as George W Bush, I think its called "Than you, America" or smtg like that :D

Just STAY CLASSY.
This is such an exclusive event, that he decided to share it with every late night show. It's THAT exclusive.
I think that was the joke.
New Message its so exclusive that all the exclusives air at the same time
Stronger than battery acid!💪🏾🤣
When you realise there is A LOT of Ferrell's Robert Goulet impersonation from the 00's in Ron Burgundy.
Aw he missed the opportunity to say “and we’ll be right back with
Ron burgundy?”
I for one want to see Ron Burgundy impersonate Robert Goulet.
@MorbidManMusic ya don't say.
NATURE GOUUUUUUUUUUULETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I would've been in tears,🤣🤣🤣
you and me, staring match, GO!
To Ron, let’s party means let’s snort some cocaine.
Ron Burgundy wants a Doobie, everyone send him Doobie Snacks! LOL

My (66-year old) dad: Who's that on your show?
Me: Ron Burgundy.
Dad: Not very funny.
I’m 65 and I thought it was hilarious. Of course who doesn’t like the Emmy wining Ron Burgundy?
@Jacob Zondag We still let our dad think he's right, too.
Jacob Zondag you realize, Ron Burgundy is a make believe character?
that was the most insane of the four late night sketches
RON BURGUNDY Is KILLING IT !!!
He needs to have his people call Will’s people to set up a meeting for a potential collaboration.
I gotta say, his ramblings are very trump-like
And he is playing a caricature. Trump is just playing himself
Trump would have to stop halfway through for a hamberder, and tweet.
Trump is our great hope 2020. No communist socialist Dems

I really wish we got to see Stephens face during this as Ron is looking back.
It's sad that no one gets his act, but when you're dealing with a president that's more of a buffoon than Ron Burgundy I guess it isn't as funny...
Jay Bee nah we get it. It’s a really bad version of telling really dry intentionally not funny awkward jokes.
Anchorman 3 needs to happen 😂
Ron Burgundy for president!
would beat the bad Ron Burgundy impersonator doing the job at the moment
i bet he would accidentally punch a baby
@Peek and he cleans up so well. Too bad he doesn't understand Spanish lol
Summertime scarf and a turtleneck in a suit in August. LMAO
Best birthday present I've had in a while. Ron on every late show ❤❤
Ron did not stick around for the next segment. Instead he went shopping for a lamp for his co-worker.
why am i so entertained
When someone asks me: do you like to party? I always take it as: do you do coke?. That’s why they meant Mr. burgundy...lol
