Ron Burgundy isn’t just a newscaster—he’s also a very big deal in the jazz flute world. This iconic scene captures Burgundy at Tino’s, where he dramatically pulls a flute from his sleeve and promptly sets it on fire. Smooth, sultry, and completely absurd, this moment is a fever dream of ego and improvisation, immortalized in velvet lighting and neon glow. It’s the kind of performance you don’t ask for… but you’re glad you witnessed.

Will Ferrell actually played the jazz flute himself in this scene—no stand-ins or faking. The flames, however? Movie magic.
