From the liner notes

Will Ferrell (Old School, Elf) is Ron Burgundy, a top–rated 1970's San Diego anchorman who believes women have a place in the newsroom—as long as they stick to covering fashion shows or late–breaking cooking stories. So when Ron is told he'll be working with a bright young newswoman (Christina Applegate) who's beautiful, ambitious and smart enough to be more than eye candy, it's not just a clash of two TV people with really great hair—it's war! Filled with wicked wit and slapstick humor, Anchorman is the year's most wildly irreverent, must–see comedy hit!
