Country music star Jason Aldean and his wife, Brittany, dressed up as Ron
Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone for a Halloween video skit mocking
wokeness.
Burgundy and Cornerstone are characters from the 2004 comedy
“Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” starring comedian Will Ferrell
as the titular San Diego TV newsman and Christina Applegate as a rival
anchor.
The video opens with the Aldeans sitting behind a fake news desk
delivering the evening newscast.
“Good evening, NashVegas, and welcome to Channel 4 News,” Aldean says
as Burgundy.
“We are 80 percent unbiased, 100 percent of the time,” he says.
The duo then report on the news of the day, poking fun at country stars
Luke Bryan and Kane Brown and themselves.
“In our most unbiased story of the evening, tonight we tell a tale of a
wannabe country artist and his wife, Brittany and Jason Aldean,” Brittany
Aldean says.
“Ah, I’ve heard of them before,” her husband chimes in.
The subsequent “unbiased news” report twists Brittany’s words.
“Apparently, according to Brittany’s recent tweet, she hates all animals,
based on the tweet that says, ‘I love dogs,’” she says of herself. “Sounds like
a PR nightmare.”
