Local Sportscaster's Ron Burgundy Impression Goes Down Smooth

Paul Gerke may not, in fact, be Ron Burgundy — but he does a darn good impression. The sportscaster for Boise, Idaho, TV station KIVI delivered his entire Halloween segment in the persona of the Anchorman hero.

Sounds like a disaster, right? Surprisingly enough, Gerke pulled it off with aplomb, holding character for more than five minutes in an entertaining segment.

You can watch Gerke's masterpiece in the above YouTube video, which became a sports Internet hit Friday morning. This also seems like a good time to remind everyone that a certain NBA star's dad once bore a striking resemblance to Mr. Burgundy. But does Gerke beat out the local sportscaster who delivered an entire segment by quoting rap lyrics in September? That we doubt.
