FOLKS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOU
KNOW HIM AS THE FORMER ANCHOR OF SAN DIEGO'S AWARD-WINNING
CHANNEL 4 NEWS TEAM, AND HE SPECIFICALLY ASKED ME TO MENTION
THAT HE'S KIND OF A BIG DEAL. PLEASE WELCOME, PERFORMING
STANDUP, RON BURGUNDY! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
( BAND PLAYING ) >> OH, MY GOSH! WOW! THANK YOU SO MUCH! WOW! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
WOW! WOW! WOW! HOLD ON HERE! HOLD ON! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
THANK YOU! WHAT A CROWD! WOW! PLEASE, I GOT TO GET TO THE
JOKES, FOLKS. ( LAUGHTER )
THAT'S WHAT YOU SAY WHEN THEY'RE SCREAMING TOO LONG, RIGHT? YEAH. ( LAUGHTER )
WHAT A CROWD! WOW! GIVE YOURSELF A LITTLE CREDIT! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
YES, THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! GO AHEAD, RIDE THE WAVE! GO AHEAD! YEAH! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
OKAY, NOW START BOOING YOURSELVES. ( BOOING )
THERE YOU GO! COME ON! OH, A REAL BRONX CHEER! ANYWAY, HOW'S EVERYONE DOING
TONIGHT? GOOD? ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
YEAH? DO WE HAVE ANY PARTIERS HERE
TONIGHT? ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
YES! I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT THAT
MEANT WHEN SOMEONE WOULD SAY, HEY, DO YOU LINING TO PARTY? YOU MUST BE A PARTIER! LOOK OUT! TED LIKES TO PARTY! RIGHT? WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN? DO YOU LIKE TO THROW PARTIES? WHICH, IN A WAY IS A REALLY NICE
COMPLIMENT, YOU KNOW? MEANS YOU CARE ABOUT PEOPLE AND
YOU LIKE TO PLAN. ( LAUGHTER )
IT'S GOING REALLY GOOD. IT'S GOING REALLY GOOD. ( LAUGHTER )
HOWEVER, PEOPLE USUALLY COME OFF MORE AGGRESSIVELY. YOU KNOW, TONIGHT WE'RE GONNA
PARTY! I WANT TO PARTY! WE ARE GOING OFF! ( LAUGHTER )
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? ( LAUGHTER )
TO GO OFF? TO GO OFF WHERE? ( LAUGHTER )
TO GO OFF AND FIND A PRIVATE NOOK TO PLAN A PARTY? ( LAUGHTER )
TONIGHT WE ARE GOING OFF TO FIND A QUIET AREA AND PLAN AN ELEGANT
SEND-OFF FOR MY COUSIN DENISE! ( LAUGHTER )
SHE WILL BE DELIGHTED BECAUSE OF THE CARE AND FORETHOUGHT! WHOA! ( LAUGHTER )
ANYWAY, THAT'S THE LINGO THESE DAYS. IN MY DAY, IT WAS A MUCH SIMPLER
TIME. WE WOULD JUST SAY, HEY, I'M
GOING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. AND BY "A GOOD TIME," IT JUST
MEANT YOU GET DRUNK AND YOU FIGHT THE FIRST PERSON THAT
LOOKS AT YOU SIDEWAYS. ( LAUGHTER )
MAN OR WOMAN. ( LAUGHTER )
REAL OR IMAGINED. ( LAUGHTER )
ANIMALS WERE NO EXCEPTION. ( LAUGHTER )
I FOUGHT A LOT OF PET BIRDS AND DOGS BACK IN THE DAY, AND I
DON'T MIND TELLING YOU, MOST OF THE TIME, I CAME OUT ON THE
LOSING END. BUT THAT'S WHAT WE CALLED
"HAVING A GOOD TIME." NEW YORK CITY, THOUGH, IS --
IT'S A GREAT DRINKING TOWN. WHENEVER I COME HERE, I JUST
WANT TO ORDER A COCKTAIL, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? HARVEY WALLBANGER. THAT'S A WEIRD NAME FOR A DRINK,
RIGHT? A GUY NAMED HARVEY, USED TO BANG
WALLS. BURGUNDY RIM SHOT! ( RIM SHOT )
( APPLAUSE ) THANK YOU. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. BECAUSE THAT WOULD LOOK TERRIBLE
IF YOU WEREN'T READY TO DO THAT. SO THANK YOU. ( LAUGHTER )
RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU'VE HEARD OF A DRINK CALLED THE RUSTY
NAIL. YES. OH, ALMOST EVERYONE. ( LAUGHTER )
A RUSTY NAIL IS SCOTCH AND DRAMBUY AND THE FIRST SIP TASTES
LIKE YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S UNDERPANTS, BUT AFTER THE SECOND
SIP YOU'RE ORDERING TWO MORE. NEXT THING, YOU'RE IN THE
EMERGENCY ROOM GETTING A TETANUS SHOT BECAUSE YOU END UP SHOOTING
YOURSELF IN THE FOOT WITH A NAIL GUN. THAT'S A RUSTY NAIL. ( LAUGHTER )
NO JOKE, THOUGH, YOU SHOULD GET CAUGHT UP ON THOSE TETANUS
SHOTS. WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON? WHAT ELSE? TRADE WARS, RIGHT? EVERYDAY ALL WE HEAR IS TRADE
WAR, TRADE WAR WITH CHINA, TRADE WAR WITH MEXICO. WE EVEN HAD A TRADE WAR WITH
CANADA. WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT? YEAH, BOO! I'M WITH YOU. I I H HATE CANADIANS. ( APPLAUSE )
NO, THANK YOU, IT'S REFRESHING TO SPEAK YOUR MIND WITH AN
ANTI-CANADA AUDIENCE. ( LAUGHTER )
GOOD, GOOD, WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE. ( LAUGHTER )
TRADE WAR WITH CANADA, WE AREN'T GOING TO GIVE YOU ANY MORE CARS
TILL YOU LOWER THE PRICE OF CANADIAN BACON? ( LAUGHTER )
TO HELL WITH THE TRADE WARS, I SAY TRADE PEACE! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
YEAH! THANK YOU. THANK YOU. HEY, I GOT SOMETHING WE CAN
TRADE -- HOW ABOUT WE TRADE A DOOBIE BACK AND FORTH AND FIGURE
THIS WHOLE THING OUT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
YES, BECAUSE I'M GETTING SICK OF HEARING ABOUT IT. SPEAKING OF DOOBIES, DID YOU
KNOW THAT MARIJUANA IS NOW LEAGUEL IN MOST STATES? THAT'S JUST CRAZY TO ME BECAUSE,
BACK IN MY DAY, EVERYONE HAD A DEALER NAMED MARCUS OR JULIUS. ( LAUGHTER )
OR PACO. AND THEY WOULD MEET YOU IN LA
VON'S PARKING LOT WITH A DIMEBAG OR A LITTLE PIECE OF TINFOIL
WITH WEIRD SHAVINGS OR TREE BARK OR GOD KNOWS WHAT IT WAS AND YOU
WERE HAPPY TO HAVE IT. ( LAUGHTER )
THESE GUYS BECAME A REAL PART OF YOUR LIFE. YOU INVITED THEM TO YOUR
WEDDING. ( LAUGHTER )
THEY WENT ON VACATIONS WITH YOU. ( LAUGHTER )
PACO AND JULIUS WERE YOUR BEST FRIENDS UNTIL YOU COULDN'T PAY. ( LAUGHTER )
AND THEN THE KNIVES CAME OUT, AND IT WAS HARSH, BUT YOU FELT
ALIVE! ( LAUGHTER )
NOW YOU JUST WALTZ IN AND BUY A BAG OF GUMMY BEARS AND TRIP
BALLS, YOU KNOW? ( LAUGHTER )
WHERE'S THE DANGEROUS? WHERE'S THE ROMANCE? ( LAUGHTER )
I MISS PACO AND JULIUS. THEY'RE BOTH DEAD, BY THE WAY. ( LAUGHTER )
WHAT ELSE? ( LAUGHTER )
OH, YOU GUYS EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW "STAR WARS," HUH? ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
YEAH? IS THERE A NEW "STAR WARS"? I HAVE NO IDEA. I JUST SAY THAT AND PEOPLE GO
CRAZY BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF CHUMPS. CANADIAN HATING CHUMPS. BUT I LOVE NEW YORK. I REALLY DO. THE OTHER DAY I WENT TO ELLIS
ISLAND TO TRACE MY FAMILY ROOTS AND I HAVE TO SAY IT WAS VERY
EMOTIONAL. I LOOKED UP THE BURGUNDY FAMILY
TO SEE WHERE WE HAD ORIGINALLY COME FROM, AND I WAS LOOKING AND
LOOKING AND PORING OVER THE RECORDS AND, FINALLY, FINALLY I
FOUND BURGUNDY. JOSIAH AND RHONDA BURGUNDY. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN, AND SOMEONE
HAD DRAWN SOME INTRICATE MALE GENITALIA. ( LAUGHTER )
SO THAT WAS -- SO THAT WAS A BUMMER. THAT'S NOT SO MUCH A JOKE AS A
CAUTIONARY TALE. ( LAUGHTER )
SO IF YOU GO TO ELLIS ISLAND, PEOPLE, BE PREPARED THERE'S SOME
MEAN PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH A SHARPIE DRAWING PENISES WHERE IT
SAYS COUNTRY OF ORIGIN. SO TRUE STORY. ( LAUGHTER )
HERE'S ONE I'M GOING TO LEAVE YOU WITH, TWO GUYS WALK INTO A
BAR, A GAY GUY AND A STRAIGHT GUY. ( LAUGHTER )
THE GAY GUY SAYS TO THE BARTENDER, I'D LIKE TO ORDER A
DRINK. THE BARTENDER IS A MEXICAN GUY
AND HE SAYS, WHAT'LL YOU HAVE? MEANWHILE, DOWN THE BAR IS A
CHINESE LADY. ( LAUGHTER )
JUST MINDING HER BUSINESS, BUT BEFORE ANYONE CAN ORDER, IN
WALKS A BLACK GUY, AND HE WALKS RIGHT UP TO THE BAR ALL CALM AND
COOL. NOW, THE STRAIGHT GUY TAKES A
LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON AND HE TURNS TO THE TABLE BEHIND HIM,
WHICH IS A TABLE FULL OF JEWS AND A CATHOLIC BRE PRIEST. NOW, IF YOU THOUGHT I WAS GOING
TO THE A RACIST JOKE, YOU HAD ANOTHER THING COMING. THIS IS NEW YORK CITY, FOLKS,
AND WE'RE ALL HERE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME MY NAME IS RON
BURGUNDY, I HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE BAR! THANK YOU! >> Stephen: RON BURGUNDY,

NEXT TO. BURT REYNOLDS, JOEY BISHOP,
MARTY FELD BEEN. PETE BARBOODI AND BROTHER DERK. >> Stephen: WOULD YOU LIKE A
DRINK? >> I WOULD LOVE ONE. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
DRINKING WASN'T ILLEGAL BACK IN THOSE DAYS. IN FACT, I REMEMBER ONE NIGHT IT
WAS JUST JOHNNY AND I AND DEBBIE REYNOLDS, AMERICA'S SWEETHEART,
AND IT WAS ABOUT 4:00 IN THE MORNING -- AND I'M TRAILING OFF
NOW BECAUSE I REALIZE I CAN'T TELL THAT STORY. ( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: IT'S AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU HERE. IT'S FASCINATING. >> IT IS FASCINATING. >> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A
COMMERCIAL BREAK, YOU KNOW, FROM THE BUSINESS. >> I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN STICK
AROUND. GO AHEAD, GO TO COMMERCIAL, AND
IF I CAN STICK AROUND FOR THE SECOND SEGMENT, I WILL. IF NOT, IT WAS GREAT TALKING TO
YOU. >> Stephen: ALL RIGHT, GREAT. ( LAUGHTER )
SO WE'LL SEE YOU IN ABOUT THREE OR FOUR MINUTES. >> I HAVE A GOOD FEELING ABOUT
IT. >> Stephen: YEAH. ALL RIGHT, WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
WITH POSSIBLY MORE RON BURGUNDY,
Not enough folks are getting the bit. He's deliberately bombing and it's fantastic.
ITT a lot of people that don't understand anti-humor.
This is pretty good, but its hes no where near as good at being a bad comic as Tim Heidecker or Neil Hamburger.
Quick edit: Cant leave out Norm MacDonald the king of meta stand up.
I'm a little tired of properties being constantly warmed over and served up again and again. Anchorman is 15 years old.
Unfortunately this just isn't good
We're still doing this, Will?
Really?
AWESOME.
He was on Kimmel and Seth Myers last night too.
