Ron Burgundy(Will Ferrell), a five-time Emmy award-winning journalist, is the main anchor for the Channel Four News Team. Always confident, he is nevertheless ignorant, egotistical, and not very intelligent (he claims "diversity" is "an old wooden ship used during the Civil War era" and that "San Diego" is a German phrase for "whale's vagina") but also remains the rock for the entire group. He develops an infatuation for newcomer Veronica Corningstone, initially having trouble wooing her with tried and true measures that allegedly won him many bimbo-type women in the past.



Veronica Corningstone(Christina Applegate), joined the Channel Four News Team, hired from Asheville, North Carolina to comply with newly instituted "diversity standards". Burgundy develops an infatuation for her, culminating in a date. The two characters fall in love, though their affections are interrupted by a rivalry when Corningstone replaces Burgundy on one broadcast. When she is made co-anchor tensions between the two come to a head, culminating in Burgundy's termination when Corningstone sabotages his teleprompter, altering his signature sign-off from "Stay classy, San Diego" to "Go fuck yourself, San Diego". Veronica is a hit as the new anchor on the show, but reconciles with Burgundy after he saves her from a bear. At the end of the movie she is co-anchor with Ron for the first world-wide news network.



Brian Fantana(Paul Rudd), is a lustful field reporter for the Channel Four News Team. He absurdly overestimates his personal qualities. For example, he wears a cologne called "Sex Panther," which his friend Burgundy describes as smelling of pure gasoline and other coworkers describe as smelling like Bigfoot's dick, a used diaper filled with Indian food, shit covered in burnt hair and numerous other bad things, while believing it to be a powerful aphrodisiac that "60% of the time, it works every time". At the end of the film, it is explained that he hosts the Fox Network's Intercourse Island. It is revealed at the beginning of the film that his penis is called The Octagon, and his testicles are James Westphal and Dr. Kenneth Noisewater. Fantana is perhaps the voice of the group.



Champ Kind(David Koechner), is the southern sportscaster for the Channel Four News Team. He vehemently opposes the adoption of co-anchor Veronica Corningstone, asserting, "It is anchorman, not anchorlady, and that is a scientific fact!" At the end of the film, it is declared that Kind, whose signature catchphrase is "Whammy!", became an NFL commentator before being fired for sexually harassing Terry Bradshaw. Champ is a stocky, balding man who always wears a ten-gallon hat. In a deleted scene of the movie, there is a flashback sequence where Champ rapping aggressively at an African American maid that is a bit older than him.



Wes Mantooth(Vince Vaughn) is lead anchor of the competing Channel Nine News Team and Burgundy's rival. Mantooth is consistently irritated by his being second in the ratings, causing him to ultimately inaugurate an anchorman battle against Burgundy and three other news teams. He ultimately draws up Burgundy on a ladder from a bear pit, explaining that while he hates him, he nonetheless respects him as a journalist. In an earlier cut of the movie, Mantooth was revealed to be Burgundy's brother, but this scene was deleted from the final print. His mother's name is revealed to be Dorothy Mantooth.



Brick Tamland(Steve Carell) is described as being (in the future) diagnosed as mentally retarded with an IQ of 48. He also includes meaningless facts such as how he likes to eat ice cream, and that he really enjoys a nice pair of slacks or that he just burnt his tongue. At the time the story takes place he is employed as a weatherman for the Channel Four News Team. His condition is the source of much of the film's comedy, especially in the anchorman battle mid-point in the movie, wherein he murders a rival by throwing a trident (During a summary of the battle, he says, "There were horses, a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident"). He is treated as something of a mascot by the rest of the people who work at Channel Four, and in many ways, his personality is dog-like: not bright, but loyal. Much of the time, the group has to watch their friend as if they were watching a child. At the end of the film, it is explained that Tamland married, had eleven children and became a political advisor to President George W. Bush.





Jack Black, Seth Rogen, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, Fred Armisen, Jerry Minor and Tim Robbins have cameo roles. In addition, Stiller's father, Jerry Stiller, can be seen in the background of a bar scene which takes place close to the film's finale.
