“I’m Ron Burgundy”: Watch BBC News Presenter Maryam Moshiri Make Joke After Autocue Error


BBC News presenter Maryam Moshiri made a Ron Burgundy joke after an autocue error led to an on-air gaffe.

BBC News presenter Maryam Moshiri has become one of social media’s biggest providers of viral clips in recent months, and today she added another memorable moment. During a BBC News bulletin this morning, Moshiri quoted Will Ferrell’s famous “I’m Ron Burgundy” line from the initial Anchorman movie after an autocue mistake caused her to falter on a light relief story about hazel dormice numbers in the UK. Moshiri has become a cult figure to many media watchers for her quirky news presenting, most famously going viral last year for making a rude gesture with her middle finger while unknowingly been broadcast live before a bulletin began.
