Development Hell: The sequel. Paramount had expressed interest then lost it then renewed interest...then stepped off again...and finally greenlit the project come 2012, over seven years after the first movie.
Hey, It's That Guy!: In the epic battle between the newsteams, Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson, Tim Robbins, and Ben Stiller appear as the rival lead anchors.
What Could Have Been: During the production, a lot of alternate takes were produced and a lot of plotlines were cut, including a major plotline about an inept terrorist organisation known as "The Alarm Clock". So many, in fact, that instead of being included in a Director's Cut version, they were edited together to produce a Direct To DVD sequel Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie.
