Obviously the title of this post is misleading as they clearly only wrote the news program within Anchorman but still, how can this be? Neither of these now beloved actors, (at least by me, by the internet, and by critics) were really well known at the time. This must be a conspiracy. Did the writers of this movie have a time machine that allowed them to know that the inclusion of their names would be a great “easter egg” in the future? Did the future Don Draper and the future head of Party Down catering actually write the Anchorman script and were cheated of success seven years ago? Were those names randomly generated and it was all just a coincidence?? No that’s lame. I’m going with the time machine theory as it just makes the most sense.
