Kristen Wiig says she said yes to a role in Anchorman: The Legend Continues immediately.
The actress has revealed that Anchorman is one of her favourite movies and was 'flattered' when she was considered for a role in the sequel.
Will Ferrell is set to return to the role of Ron Burgundy while Adam McKay is back in the director's chair.
Speaking to Collider the actress said: "I'm totally completely flattered. I said yes before I knew. Anchorman is one of my favourite movies. I love all of those guys."
And Wigg admits that she did get a little excited when she stepped on set for the first time on her first day.
"I think it was my first day, and they were all there in their costumes and the cowboy hats and the vests and everything. I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I'm actually here and that's really them'. I geeked out for a minute.
"I couldn't believe that I was there, and to be a part of it is very surreal. I can't wait to see it and have it come out."
Wigg is not the only new face to watch out for in the film as Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson are also on board.
Wigg is back on the big screen - well her voice it at least - with Despicable Me 2. She has also completed work on The Skeleton Twins, Hateship, Loveship and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
Anchorman: The Legend Continues is released 20th December.
