Ron Burgundy was EVERYWHERE last night as a “surprise guest” on Fallon, Colbert, Kimmel, Meyers, Corden and Conan (via toofab)
that their teams were willing to coordinate all of this into one night of ridiculousness and ... not-that-great-comedy.
It was a lot of crowd pandering and awkward to non-existent transitions. And yet, Colbert invited him to the couch, a classic late-night gesture dating back to Johnny Carson: if Johnny invited you to the couch, he really liked your set. "Look, no collusion, definitely obstruction, but the fact that you select a fictional movie character to investigate the president is way beyond my pay grade," he continued. "I'm still curious, was it Matthew Broderick playing Ferris Bueller who conducted the investigation, or was it just someone who said his name was Ferris Bueller.
Another great line came when talking about what a great businessman Trump was, with Burgundy quipping, "I invested in Trump University. And what was great, I wrote the check and I got three degrees."Colbert definitely kept Burgundy on the show longer than most, and by the end of their interview it was all either man could to to keep from laughing.
If they did, they had to be wondering why Jimmy Fallon was laughing so hard he had to get up and walk it off in the background. Sure, Fallon laughs at everything, butAnd then, looking for material, Burgundy went in on Shawn Mendes for no apparent reason. "Have we got any Shawn Mendes fans here tonight? Don't like him, never have," he said before jumping into a baseless accusation. "He stole some of my songs and my singing style. When he goes to that falsetto.
"A room," Burgundy said quickly. And then after a pause, he expanded to add, "A room with a microphone and chairs." And with that, Ferrell was off to the races. It escalated into a knife fight until both were laid up in the emergency. But it's all good today. "We're good friends now."Over on Kimmel, Burgundy was still clearly working out the kinks of his routine, though he absolutely loved the audience reception. "A standing ovation? Get out of town," he marveled. "Much deserved, much deserved.
In a brief interview segment with Kimmel, he admitted that "It's the first time I've done standup." He further admitted, "I steal a lot of the jokes. But that's what's great, you can cherry pick. And the other comics, they don't care."times he's done stand-up as Colbert, Fallon and Kimmel all air at the same time.
