Today I was watching CNN Headline News as I was eating lunch and saw a quick piece (everything's quick on Headline News.
Fresh Air from WHYY, July 8, 2004 · McKay directed the new movie Anchorman, starring Will Ferrell, about a news anchor from the 1970s and his wacky adventures when a female anchor joins the staff.
McKay was the head writer for Saturday Night Live from 1997 to 2001.
McKay was one of the founding members of the Upright Citizens Brigade comedy troupe.
Adam said it was essential to film this movie in a racing-friendly area, especially since they had to shoot on the real race tracks.
So come hangout with us.' Amy Adams was another too who almost got the role in 'Anchorman' that Christina Applegate played, it was between the two of them and we knew that she was like amazing and sort of secret weapon.
McKay: No, because a that was a storyline that we cut out, but in this case it's just big chunky scenes that I don't think tie together quite as well, but it's a lot of stuff.
TALLADEGA NIGHTS director AdamMcKay just might have the easiest gig in the world.

He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1968 and is one of the founding members of the Upright Citizens Brigade improv comedy group and a former performer at Chicago's ImprovOlympic theater.
In several politically charged sketches, McKay played characters like Noam Chomsky as a substitute kindergarten teacher, and a hapless personnel manager trying to inform a corporate vice president (Scott Adsit) of some disastrous IQ test results without losing his own job.
McKay also encouraged former Second City castmate Tina Fey to submit some of her scripts to Saturday Night Live, and she later succeeded him as head writer for that show.

Just what is it about stepfamilies that has Will Ferrell and AdamMcKay so obsessed at the moment?
They’re already planning Step Brothers, which sees Ferrell and his Talladega Nights co-star John C Reilly as newly minted stepsiblings who become competitive when their parents marry.
AdamMcKay, meanwhile, has been blabbing about why they took on the project: "When Will, Chris and I first told Gary Sanchez about this, a tear came to his eye, for Gary was raised by a stepfather," McKay gushed to the Reporter.
