Oh, Ron Burgundy, everyone. I want to kiss you. No. Or I'll kiss your friend. No. How about the two trainers kiss each other? What do you say, huh? So, let's say hello to the stars of the show, Chippy and Roo-roo! For your information, Chippy was rehabilitated and Roo-roo is an asshole. Ooh! Look, they're swimming and doing tricks! Folks, what do you expect? They're dolphins.

Mmm. These are first-rate flapjacks. I'm telling you, suicide makes you hungry, I don't care what anyone says. My name is Freddie Shapp, and I'm a producer of a new kind of news. We're starting a 24-hour news channel. First of its kind! GNN. The Global News Network.

That is without a doubt the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You mean news going 24 hours around the clock? A channel that's never off, in other words? Yeah. Yeah. Just 24 hours. It's, uh... No offense, but you are a stupid asshole. Mr. Burgundy, I assure you we are 100% for real. We've got state-of-the-art facilities in Manhattan. And Kench Allenby, multi-millionaire and owner of Koala Airlines. So glad he was acquitted of murder. I'm a big Kench Allenby guy. He's funding the whole network. He believes in it. I don't think you understand, Freddie. My hero, Mack Tannen, told me I was the worst journalist he'd ever seen.
