As rumors of Anchorman 2 persist, at least one actor from the hilarious original says he’d reprise his role in a San Diego minute.

“I’ve heard some inklings as to what Adam McKay has in mind for a sequel, and it’s really funny,” Steve Carel said. “But I couldn’t say anything more than that.”

How excited would you be to see Brick Tamland again in Anchorman 2?!?

The actor added that he “can’t wait to find out” what Channel Four News weatherman Brick Tamland is up to these days, also saying that he loves his co-stars from that film almost as much as he loves lamp.

“Everybody’s a friend,” he said of David Koechner, Paul Rudd and others. “That is one of the most fun things I ever did. I laughed until I cried, every day on that movie.”

Carell can next be seen in Get Smart, which opens on June 20.

Rumors of Anchorman 2 were teased by Judd Apatow a few months ago.

But now Adam McKay - the writer behind the original movie and the co-creator of Funnyordie.com - has pretty much confirmed plans he and Will Ferrell have for an Anchorman sequel.

“Will and I are like let’s do Anchorman 2… we’re going to do it, for sure,” McKay said to Collider. “We’re dying to do it. Unless we can’t get the cast together, which is always kind of a tricky thing. But, I think, with that cast we’re all friends, so yeah, we want to do it.”

Yay! Anchorman 2 is on the way!

It’s hard to take Judd Apatow seriously when it comes to, well, anything.

But the mere mention of an Anchorman sequel has the Reel Movie News staff giddy, so we have to at least post Apatorw’s recent comments to MTV.

“The movie that probably has a best shot at a sequel is Anchorman. Ron Burgundy would be hilarious at 70-years-old, being the anchor,” the writer/director mused of what films on his resume might demand to be revisited.

Come on, you cant tell us the sight of an elderly Will Ferrell, still boisterous and conceited, warm milk dribbling down his now white beard, doesn’t make you laugh out loud. Make it happen. Judd!

“Yeah,” Apatow laughed, “We all think it would be fun to see him up on his feet again doing what only he can do. That would be awesome – but it could only happen in 30 years.”
