- Ron Burgundy is, put simply, not really a person. He's a caricature, a deliberately over-the-top embodiment of 1970s sexism and macho posturing, and the more we see of the film the more we see that the "legend" of the title is something of Ron's own making.

Ron Burgundy is the main protagonist of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and Anchorman 2. He is also the titular deuteragonist of Wake Up Ron Burgundy. He is portrayed by Will Ferrell. He is calm, selfless, sweet, gentle, serious, ignorant, curious, adventurous, loyal, smart, obnoxious, sometimes impatient, and nice.
He was born on February 28, 1938.
Ron Burgundy is 37 years old in the first film and 42 in the second film. He has brown hair, a mustache, and blue eyes.
Ron Burgundy has old-fashioned views on women, a cocky sense of humor and very determined personality. He is comical to the point of making the news program an entertainment industry and not taking his job very seriously. Despite his good sense of friendship, his success sometimes gets the better of him and becomes arrogant as a result. His arrogance is such that he believes that he is entitled to make decisions for others, like in The Legend Continues.
When he becomes blind, he becomes very pessimistic and he is convinced he cannot develop his other senses. He howls every morning because of his blindness and his lifestyle becomes terrible because of how he handles his lighthouse, like using fire in a dish washer and using the oven to put flowers inside.
Ron is the sarcastic lead Anchorman for Channel 4, a local San Diego news station alongside Brick Tamland, Brian Fantana and Champion "Champ" Kind. They enjoy success as the number one news station in San Diego and routinely attend parties to celebrate this accomplishment. During one party, Ron meets Veronica Corningstone and attempts to seduce her but ultimately fails after he stumbles through talking about his leatherbound books and how his apartment smells of rich Mahogany.
The next day, news station director Ed Harken announces Veronica Corningstone as the newest member of the team much to the chagrin of the men. Ron attempts to berate Veronica but instead compliments her unintentionally, after the rest of the team try their luck to date Veronica, Ron is successful in asking her out as colleagues to show her the city.
After Ron and Veronica get married, they have a son; Walter Burgundy. He was later fired by Mack Tannen and estranged himself from Walter and Veronica and only taking Baxter with back to San Diego. He would be fired from Sea World and tried to commit suicide but fails to.
Ron Burgundy first attended Harvard Junior College in Waco, Texas, earning his Associate's Degree. After failing to get into San Diego State University and the University of Southern California, he attended the University of San Diego (USD). As a Torero, Ron Burgundy competed with the USD Rowing Team (where he served as coxswain). He studied Communications Studies. However, he left without finishing his Bachelor's in order to take his first job in broadcast journalism with Channel 4, where he would eventually anchor. Ron Burgundy is cocking ,# domineering, and proud to a fault. He is very old-fashioned in his views about women, as he is bothered when his female coworker Veronica Corningstone is first hired. He isn't very smart, but he is well-loved by the city of San Diego, where he lives and works. He often believes he is right and is unwilling to say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong. His closest friend is his dog, Baxter.
Ron is a keen flute player, specifically jazz flute where he performs an off the cuff routine to Veronica. He is incredibly proud of his apartment, claiming it has many leatherbound books and smells of rich mahogany.
•"I don't know how to put this, but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany."
•"Cannonball!"
•"Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diago. Which, of course, in German means, "A Whale's vagina."
•"You Stay Classy San Diego"/"Go fuck yourself, San Diego!"
•"I'm Ron Burgundy?"
•"I wanna say something. I'm gonna put this out there if you like it, you can take it. If you don't, send it right back.... I want to be ON you."
