The Burgundy and Brokaw show (Wizbang Pop!)

Will Ferrell dragged retired news anchor Tom Brokaw onstage with him during the last night of his "Funny or Die" tour Sunday at Radio City Music Hall.

Ferrell, acting as his famous "Anchorman" character, Ron Burgundy, quipped, "I don't know if you remember that broadcasters' convention that you and I were at in Lake Tahoe, Nev., and we got in a BB gun war with Roger Mudd and Morley Safer. And then you convinced me to get on a snowmobile and ride into a casino with Diane Sawyer. Do you remember she took her top off?" The Post's Mandy Stadtmiller reports Brokaw played along, saying, "A lot of people . . . thought it was one of your more dignified moments."
