Anchorman 2 Movie Release Date

Emerson College in Boston hopes to change the name of their school of communication for just one day to Ron Burgundy School Of Communication.

Emerson College is set to change their name on December 4 to honor the fictional character as also part of the announcement of the Anchorman 2 movie release date.

Will Ferrell who plays Ron Burgundy in the upcoming film 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues' is set to visit the school to share his journalism greatness to the students which will include a news conference and the renaming ceremony.

The fictional character told news how honored he became when he got word that Emerson College was planning to change the name after him.

"I had to pinch myself really hard when I learned that Emerson College was naming its School of Communication for me. It's kind of a big deal. I can't wait to inspire students with my story of how I got to the top . . . the very top. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. It's a lot of work, especially if you don't have good hair," the very, very popular news reporter said.

Lee Pelton, school president, said that they are honored to have Ron Burgundy in their school and proud that he can share his knowledge about journalism to his students in the school.

"A visit from Ron Burgundy is a chance to engage with someone who understands the power of media, as well as hairspray, first-hand, school president said."

Soon to be Ron Burgundy School Of Communication dean Phillip Glenn who appears to be an Anchorman fans said that the renaming of their college brings out the great in them.

Glenn said the renaming "compels us to honor the Ron Burgundy that's inside all of us."

Anchorman 2 movie release date is set to be on December 20 which will also be announced in the actor's appearance in Emerson College in two weeks.
