Steve Carell and Jim Carrey are currently making their rounds to promote their upcoming comedy, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, in which they play rival magicians vying for a premium Las Vegas gig. Of course, as we already saw earlier this week with Carrey’s appearance at SXSW, people don’t really care about what these guys are doing now. They want to know about what they’re doing next.

Specifically, the comic book fans want to know if Carrey is joining Guardians of the Galaxy (he claims he hasn’t even heard of it) and the bros want to know what’s up with Carell and Anchorman 2. For example, when Carell stopped by ESPN’s SportsCenter to help out with the day’s Top Plays, they wanted him to channel his character Brick Tamland.

And he sort of did, when he wasn’t hysterically laughing at whatever the hell was happening in his ear.

When the internet found out a sequel to Anchorman was happening, the response was nearly Arrested Developian. And it’s about to get positively bacon-esque when Kristen Wiig joins the cast as Brick Tamlan’s love interest.

Kristen Wiig is being eyed for a role in “Anchorman: The Legend Continues” for Paramount Pictures, a person familiar with the negotiations has told TheWrap.
Wiig would play opposite Steve Carell, as a love interest in the sequel. The script is still being written, and no cast beyond the principals has been set.

Brick of course loves lamp and is borderline retarded, and rarely knows what we’re yelling about. I think Kristen Wiig is fantastic, though she’s better when she’s more real and there’s someone around to edit her. But something tells me a role opposite a retarded Steve Carell in an Adam McKay movie is going to involve them puking oatmeal on each other while they cane each other in the crotch and sing showtunes. Actors, man. You know how they are.

“Ooooooklahoma where the wind comes….”

It shouldn’t surprise us when actors decide they want to sing because, hello, have you met actors? Getting them not to sing is the hard part. Seth MacFarlane couldn’t make a 30 second commercial without putting a showtune in it. And so it goes with Anchorman 2, according to director Adam McKay, as he tells

“There will be some music in ‘Anchorman 2′ though for sure, we have some songs already written,” he shared.

“We were going to do ‘Anchorman 2′ as a Broadway musical first, for like six months and then go shoot the movie. That was our initial idea,” he also added. Does he mean whole sequences? ”Whole song sequences, absolutely,” he said.

“The music sequences we have done — we did ‘Afternoon Delight’ [in 'Anchorman'], Adam Scott and his family singing ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ [in 'Step Brothers'], we did a whole song for ‘Talladega Nights‘ that got cut out, a big, big musical number — we always do it live on the set,” McKay said. “And my thing is, if the actors get freaked out, don’t sweat it, we can always re-record it later. And every time we’ve done it, we end up using the live track from the recording. We’ll probably do it the same way in this.” Though, he cautioned: ”This one might have a little more movement in it, and the only problem with that is the actors get winded.”

Ooh, movement? Does that mean dancing? God, I hope it’s of the Paul Rudd variety:

Bros! Remember when DP and Dasher were trying to finger cuff Buttsex Lindsay after the DG slave auction, but the whole thing got shut down when Asian Steve hit that waiter with a pint glass and got tazed by the cops because he was still butthoused from tequila sunrise? And we almost lost our charter because we were still on probation from when those Pike homos ratted us out during the pledge retreat goat roast? Well think of how crazy that was and double it, because now Anchorman 2 has a teaser, and this time it’s the legit version, like the Mercedes I got from Stinky’s uncle’s dealership, not the crappy knock-off version we had before, like those counterfeit Macbooks Boner got busted for selling. Well? What are you waiting for? HOUSE THAT SH*T, YOU FAGG*TS, CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! You’re never getting my sig if you keep drinking like a single mother. OPEN YOUR THROAT, PUSSY, THIS AIN’T NURSING SCHOOL! I swear to God I’ll ding your entire pledge class if I have to. We’ve done it before, ask Chode.

"PAYCHECKS!"

Ever since Will Ferrell, er, Ron Burgundy confirmed on Conan that the Channel 4 News Team would once again assemble for a sequel, bros and dudes have been flashing back to 2004 with pure joy and excitement. Now that we also know that The Dictator – in theaters everywhere today – will feature the first Anchorman 2 teaser in the previews, we might as well just go ahead and open the floodgates and start repeating every classic line from the original film.

But wait – you may be wondering, “Will Anchorman 2 feature all the same hilarious vintage styles and costumes of the first film?” Worry not, ladies. Anchorman 2 has a new poster and the answer to your question is “Whale’s vagina jazz flute I pooped a squirrel hand grenade toilet store.”
