(WXYZ) - I'm Ron Burgundy? There have been all sorts of rumors of the 2004 cult comedy "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" returning to the big screen. Now, those rumors can be confirmed following a big announcement by the anchorman himself.

Funnyman Will Ferrell showed up on "Conan" Wednesday night dressed as the legendary newscaster. Burgundy dazzled the audience with a jazz flute solo prior to making the big announcement.

"I want to announce this to all of our friends in the Americas, Spain, Turkey and the U.K. - including England - that as of 0900 mountain time, Paramount pictures and myself have come to terms on a sequel to 'Anchorman,'" Ferrell said.

Ferrell's co-stars Steve Carell and Paul Rudd are expected to return for "Anchorman 2." Filming will begin later this year with a release planned for 2013.
