In one of the biggest local headlines of the day, it has been reported that Chuck Huebner—a long time local TV anchor/investigative reporter—has been terminated by KLFY-TV10.

If you want to read all the gossipy details you can check out the story at The Ind, but the real issue here is that we have lost the closest thing to Will Ferrell's Ron Burgundy character that Acadiana will ever see.


Say what you will about him, but Chuck Huebner was our 'Anchorman'.

He even said so himself—well, sort of. He MEANT to say Ron Burgundy, but in what could be considered a Freudian slip he accidentally referred to himself as Ron Jeremy (the famous porn star dude) during a live broadcast.

The video (seen above) makes for all kinds of awesomeness as co-anchor Darla Montgomery and meteorologist David Paul try to diffuse the awkward situation, but in the end Chuck owns it and even acknowledges that the Ron Burgundy character from the 2004 blockbuster may have been based off of his persona.

Whether or not Chuck Huebner finds a place on our local television screens again, he will always be our 'Anchorman'.
