Does 'SNL' have a cast crisis coming?

33 minutes ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Bill Hader departed "Saturday Night Live" on this past weekend's season finale and Seth Meyers is also on his way out, as he will transition next year to hosting "Late Night."

That makes four cast anchors who have left in the last two years, with Kristen Wiig and Andy Samberg as the two who left last season. Jason Sudeikis and Fred Armisen are also rumored to be leaving, a rumor which was made stronger by Jay Pharoah's since-deleted tweet about it.

Is the "SNL" cast in crisis? Maybe.

The Chicago Tribune makes the case that the mass exodus may turn out to be like a forest fire -- "seemingly devastating" damage that actually has a "restorative effect" on the show, citing the departures in 1986 that opened the door for Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman and Kevin Nealon, or in 1995 that ushered in the Will Ferrell-Sheri Oteri-Darrell Hammond era. »

Anchorman Sequel Pics Stay Classy: Drake's Afro, Will Ferrell's and Christina Applegate's Furs, Steve Carell's Cone

5 hours ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

At this point, who isn't in the Anchorman sequel? Drake made his presence known in Anchorman: The Legend Continues today, the rapper getting snapped on set sporting an Afro and retro sideburns. He joins Kanye West, Jim Carrey, Harrison Ford, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Sacha Baron Cohen, Nicole Kidman and Kirsten Dunst—among others—in the cameo-laden film. And then there are the usual suspects, of course. Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone are together again in the form of Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate, spotted in fur-trimmed coats outside Radio City Music Hall, Applegate's winged hair a-flyin'.

New 'Anchorman 2' Teaser Gives Us Another Classy Look At The Team

7 hours ago | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy was the movie that introduced me to Will Ferrell, and I'm guessing that's the case for plenty of other people.  Ferrell's career hasn't been doing the best as of late, seemingly reaching that phase where comedic actors will take any script that's thrown their way.  Anchorman: The Legend Continues may be able to do again what the first film did, and bring him back.  Here's another teaser featuring the Channel 4 News Team. »

'Anchorman 2' Teaser: 'The Hair Will Be Perfect'

8 hours ago | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

The Channel 4 news team is back and classier than ever in the newest teaser trailer for “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.” Likening the gang to Jesus and Jay-z, a voiceover assures us that just as those great men returned, so will Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), and Champ Kind (David Koechner). “And when they do,” the narrator promises, “one thing is for sure: their hair will be perfect.” And by the beard of Zeus, their follicles are indeed perfect. Short and sweet, the clip gives us a quick glimpse of our heroes, who look and sound the same -- and as self-delusional -- as they did in 2004, the last time they graced the big screen. There's no sign of anchorwoman Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) or any of the other stars appearing in the flick (including Harrison Ford, Kristen Wiig, Nicole Kidman, »

'Anchorman: The Legend Continues' trailer: Jesus, Jay-z and Ron Burgundy are among the greats

8 hours ago | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

A new trailer for "Anchorman: The Legend Continues" has premiered online and it has some high praise for the upcoming comedy.

"Jesus. McCarth7. Jay-z. The great ones always return, and when they do, one thing's for sure: Their hair will be perfect," the narrator quips as Ron Burgundy, Brick Tamland, Brian Fantana and Champ Kind walk slowly towards the camera.

This teaser is styled in the same way as the first "Anchorman: The Legend Continues" trailers that were released almost a year ago. Though it doesn't offer up any new footage, the trailer does tease that the Channel 4 Action News team hasn't changed since we last saw them in 2004's "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy."

Directed by Adam McKay, "Anchorman: The Legend Continues" stars Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner, Christina Applegate, Harrison Ford, Kristen Wiig, Greg Kinnear, James Marsden and Nicole Kidman. It's due in theaters on Dec. »

Drake Dons Incredibly Fake-Looking Afro, Shoots 'Anchorman 2' Cameo

11 hours ago | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

Will Ferrell's "Anchorman" sequel's subtitle might be "The Legend Continues" but it should probably be re-dubbed "A Series Of Potentially Distracting Cameo Appearances" (although that would be really hard to fit on the marquee). Kanye West, Tina Fey, Kristin Wiig, Nicole Kidman, Sacha Baron Cohen, Amy Poehler (whom "Anchorman" die hards will remember had a sizable role in the first film, only to see her entire subplot deleted from the final product), Liam Neeson, John C. Reilly, Jim Carrey and Harrison Ford have all shot cameos for the hotly anticipated sequel (also: an animatronic shark).

The latest celebrity to be roped into this cameo feeding frenzy? None other than Canadian rapper Drake.

The hip hop-er and former "Degrassi: The Next Generation" cast member was spotted on the New York midtown location shoot, wearing a ridiculously fake-looking afro, long seventies-era sideburns, a Members Only jacket and a T-shirt embossed by »

Drake Joins the Anchorman Crew For a Crazy Day on Set

11 hours ago | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »

Drake popped up on the set of Anchorman: The Legend Continues sporting an Afro for an afternoon in front of the cameras in NYC on Saturday. He joined the original cast - including Will Ferrell, Christina Applegate, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, and David Koechner - who were also on hand for the day of filming. Drake isn't the only star making a cameo in the film since Tina Fey and Amy Poehler shot scenes with Sacha Baron Cohen in Atlanta earlier this month, and Liam Neeson, John C. Reilly, Kirsten Dunst, and Harrison Ford have also gotten in front of the cameras for the sequel. There's even more star power to come with Kristen Wiig and Nicole Kidman also signed on to make appearances. View Slideshow › »

New 'Anchorman 2' Teaser Puts Channel 4's Finest Up Front

13 hours ago | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

"Anchorman: The Legend Continues" will host a slew of bizarro celebrity cameos — everyone from Kristen Wiig to Kanye West to Nicole Kidman, so pretty much just everyone in show business — but as this latest teaser from the long-awaited sequel reminds, the ultimate centerpiece of this little shindig will be the one and only Channel 4 foursome.

Yep, San Diego's wackiest news quartet is back, ya'll, boots, ties and all.

And even though scripting, casting and filming has since taken place, teaser number two looks pretty much identical to the the first one we saw last year.

In it, Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), Champ Kind (David Koechner) and Brick Tamland (Steve Carell) step forth together with a few choice words of intrigue to encourage viewers to tune in this December when they return to the big screen after almost a decade.

Rather than the sub-machine guns and boobies promised last time, »

New teaser trailer for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

Trailer Simon Brew 20 May 2013 - 06:51

Will Ferrell and Steve Carell lead the cast, as a new teaser trailer for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues is released...

Arriving in cinemas this December is the eagerly-awaited Anchorman sequel, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Filming should be all but done on the movie too, with director Adam McKay left to try and piece together a final cut from it all. Whether there's enough footage left over this time for a whole second movie remains to be seen.

In the meantime, here's a new teaser trailer, which is happily stolen by Steve Carell's Brick Tamland (don't be surprised if the film is too). The official release date for the film is December 20th, and here's that trailer...

Oh, Drake Is Also in Anchorman 2

23 hours ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

Anchorman 2: The One with Kanye West has also added one Aubrey Graham to the mix. The Daily News has a snapshot of Drake sporting some big sideburns, a bigger afro, and a dragon T-shirt. It seems like a safe bet Drizzy will be part of the new melee scene, same as Yeezus. But did Drake chat up Will Ferrell about incorporating an old joke sample for his new album, Watch the Throne-style? "Started from the Bottom Remix feat. Buddy the Elf"? »

The Coming Cast Crisis at ‘Saturday Night Live’

19 May 2013 9:33 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »

It wouldn’t be a “Saturday Night Live” season finale without the bittersweet moment that comes when a veteran cast member makes a final appearance. Last night it was Bill Hader’s turn to say goodbye, just as Kristen Wiig had done the previous season.

Photos: Bill Hader’s Best ‘SNL’ Characters

Given the revolving door at “SNL” has never seemed to stop moving over its 38-season run, the exit shouldn’t be cause for concern. Hader made a strong case for cast Mvp over 2012-13, but Wiig also ended her run as “SNL’s” top player. And yet the show seemed to have enjoyed a solid season without her and another high-profile defector, Andy Samberg.

But 2013-14 could very well shake out to be one of those tricky transitional seasons that every now and then seems to threaten “SNL” over a history that has seen its share of low points. »

Anchorman 2′s Latest Teaser Trailer is Still Classy, Brick-larious

19 May 2013 7:50 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

Take a gander at the latest teaser trailer for Will Ferrell’s “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues”, because what’s more legendary than Ron Burgundy and his ’70s swing-tastic fashion sense? I guess his pals’ fashion sense might come a close second. Especially Brick. Oh, that Brick. He’s, you know, not too smart, that one. He ain’t gots da brain, I guess you could say. As for the plot of the sequel, well, who the hell knows. But I suspect it’ll involve anchormen throwdowns, gang warfare, and possibly a bear wrestling match or two. (Or not.) Everyone is back for the sequel, including some new faces, including Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, David Koechner, Kirsten Dunst, Nicole Kidman, James Marsden, Sacha Baron Cohen, Vince Vaughn, John C. Reilly, Christina Applegate, Meagan Good, Jim Carrey, Harrison Ford, and Liam Neeson. Keeping it classy this December 30, 2013. Get »
