The text “Anchorman” shows the identities of five characters, well dressed proudly confident main character and anchor Ron Burgundy, Brick Tamland the weather man who is a slow witted character with an IQ of 48; he is a kind person but is socially awkward. Champion Kind is a sports journalist who is a passionate sports fan with a sexist outlook at life. Brian Fantana is a field reporter who is a self-acclaimed ladies’ man.

By undertaking these identities the film is shaped but is quickly changed when an ambitious woman arrives on the scene named Veronica Corningstone who demands to be taken seriously in a male dominated news
