While this news may not have broken today, I was hesitant to believe anything churning in the old rumor mill until I had more definitive proof. That proof is now here in the form of the first set picture.

While Ford is hardly known for his roles in full-blown comedies, he certainly has a knack for growly grumpsters and I’m hoping he gets a chance to riff along with the best of them. Anchorman 2 has a truly standup cast, employing the cream of the crop of comedy actors and if it can stand up to the weighty promise of the first installment, we will all be in store for another endlessly quotable, comedy classic. Thankfully, statistics are on our side as we know that adding new talent to an aging classic 60% of the time, it works every time.

To commemorate Ford’s addition, here are some of the finest Anchorman quotes for you to gnaw on.
