Comedian Will Ferrell visited Conan O'Brien's late night show on Wednesday as one of his most popular characters, Action 4 News anchor Ron Burgundy, to make a special announcement. Wearing his signature bright red sports jacket and carrying his favorite flute, Burgundy announced that he would make his official return to the silver screen.

I want to announce this to everyone here in the Americas, to our friends in Spain, Turkey, and the UK, including England, that as of 09:00 Mountain Time, Paramount Pictures and myself, Ronald Joseph Aaron Burgundy, have come to terms on a sequel to Anchorman, he said. It is official. There will be a sequel to Anchorman.

Burgundy then played his flute up the stairs and left the stage.

The original film, entitled, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, was released in 2004, but only received moderate reviews from critics. The film scored a 66 percent freshness rating from Rotten Tomatoes, but the movie achieved cult status with fans, thanks to its outlandish characters, incredible cameos, and hilarious quotes. Here are 20 of the most memorable lines from the original movie to get you excited about the sequel.

5. Oh, Miss Corningstone. I wasn't expecting company. Just doing my workout. Tuesday's arms and back. Ohh, it's the deep burn. Oh, it's so deep.
