Reviews
" Kind of a Big Deal is a hysterical, revelatory look at the creation of one of the funniest, most renowned comedies of the 21st century, as well as its massive cultural footprint. Even if you've seen Anchorman 1,000 times, you'll learn something new on every page." --Andy Greene, New York Times bestselling author of The Office : An Oral History "Kind of a Big Deal is a stark reminder that enduring success often rises from the ashes of failure. This is not just a book about Anchorman, but a chronicle of the lo-fi comedy scenes from which Will Ferrell and Adam McKay emerged." --Kliph Nesteroff, author of The Comedians and We Had a Little Real Estate Problem "An entertaining, informative take on an influential comedy classic, a book that also somehow manages to touch on broader cultural issues and not in an academic way. A must for any comedy geek." --Mike Sacks, author of Poking a Dead Frog , And Here's the Kicker , and Stinker Lets Loose "Saul Austerlitz's deeply reported, funny, smart writing takes you right off the page and deep inside the making of an iconic film that, it turns out, we all sorely underestimated. Kind Of a Big Deal not only weaves together countless delicious behind-the-scenes stories but offers a fascinating study of comedy and lively portraits of some of the greats -- from Carell to Ferrell. You won't watch Anchorman the same way again." --Thea Glassman, author of Freaks, Gleeks and Dawson's Creek "In his deep dive into the legend of Anchorman , Saul Austerlitz brings us on an insightful, entertaining, and laugh-out-loud ride through Ron Burgundy's zany world. Fans of the beloved film will devour the delicious behind-the-scenes stories and gain new appreciation for the improv-comedy titans who created Burgundy from scratch. Anchorman and its descendants, Austerlitz persuades, remain sources of light and community, and a balm for an imperfect society." --Erin Carlson, author of I'll Have What She's Having and Queen Meryl, " Kind of a Big Deal is a hysterical, revelatory look at the creation of one of the funniest, most renowned comedies of the 21st century, as well as its massive cultural footprint.

It's a riveting read that will make you rethink its place in film history and recognize Ron Burgundy as the massive star he always knew he was." -- Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, author of Seinfeldia and Sex and the City and Us "In his deep dive into the legend of Anchorman , Saul Austerlitz brings us on an insightful, entertaining, and laugh-out-loud ride through Ron Burgundy's zany world.

Austerlitz digs revealingly into every aspect of the making of Anchorman : The Legend of Ron Burgundy and the reasons why the film is a veritable switch box, wired into contemporary American culture. How big a deal is it? Considerable." --Stuart Klawans, author of Crooked, but Never Common: The Films of Preston Sturges, * Boston Globe ''s Best New Books for Summer 2023* "Austerlitz...assembles an impressive amount of research and reporting about the 2004 movie into an exhaustive, yet fast-paced text about how it was made and why.... No matter how small the movie detail, the author provides some kind of insight that places it into the broader themes he wants to tackle.... This surprising history doesn''t just stay classy; it reveals how remarkably deep the Ferrell comedy really was." --Kirkus (STARRED) review "Many influential films have received exhaustive behind-the-scenes studies. Despite or perhaps due to its raunchy humor, Anchorman is absolutely deserving of this treatment.... An engaging read for fans of Ferrell and McKay''s iconic film." --Library Journal "a well-reported...making-of Anchorman that''s a more insightful history of the (now broken) comedy partnership of Will Ferrell and Adam McKay." --Chicago Tribune " Kind of a Big Deal is a hysterical, revelatory look at the creation of one of the funniest, most renowned comedies of the 21st century, as well as its massive cultural footprint.

Synopsis
Named one of the best comedies of all times by Bravo, Time Out, and Empire, and one of the most quotable films of all time by Esquire, Hollywood.com, and Yardbarker, Anchorman is arguably the most popular comedy of the last twenty years. In Kind of a Big Deal, author and comedy historian Saul Austerlitz explores the making of the movie, its status as a legendary comedy. Kind of a Big Deal will be both a narrative history of how Anchorman was developed, written, and cast, and how it launched the careers of future superstars like Will Ferrell, Steve Carrell, and Paul Rudd, also setting the stage for a whole decade of comedy to come and influencing films like The Forty-Year-Old Virgin, Talladega Nights, Knocked Up, Superbad, and so many more. It's also a cultural analysis of the film's significance as a sly commentary on feminism, the media, fragile masculinity, 1970s nostalgia, and more. Featuring brand-new interviews with stars such as Will Ferrell and director Adam McKay, the book will feature both the insider commentary and updated, intelligent commentary that pop culture readers love. And it will also be published just in time for the film's 20th anniversary, a date that will definitely resonate with both publicity outlets and readers., * Vulture 's Best Comedy Book of 2023* From the author of Generation Friends, featuring brand-new interviews with Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, a surprising, incisive, and often hilarious book about the film that changed comedy, Anchorman. It's been nearly twenty years since Ron Burgundy burst into movie fans' lives, reminding San Diego to "stay classy" while lampooning a time gone by--although maybe not as far gone as we might think? In Kind of a Big Deal , comedy historian Saul Austerlitz tells the history of how Anchorman was developed, written, and cast, and how it launched the careers of future superstars like Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, and Paul Rudd, also setting the stage for a whole decade of comedy to come and influencing films like The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Talladega Nights, Knocked Up, Superbad , and so many more. But Kind of a Big Deal isn't only a celebration of Anchorman --it's also a cultural analysis of the film's significance as a sly commentary on feminism, the media, fragile masculinity, 1970s nostalgia, and more. Featuring brand-new interviews with stars such as Will Ferrell, director Adam McKay, and other key players, the book includes insider commentary alongside updated pop-culture analysis. And it also shares surprising stories and facts: from the film's original conception as a plane crash/cannibal comedy mashup to the surprising, real-life newscaster who inspired the character of Veronica. Overall, this is a celebration of a movie that millions love--but it's also an unsparing look back at what has and hasn't changed, since the 1970s and since 2004. Perfect for fans of the film and anyone who cares about comedy today, Kind of a Big Deal proves that the movie was, and is, exactly that.
