How do you go about ending a show that you've been on for over 15 years? What final words do you choose to go out on?

Well, BBC journalist Andrew Marr — presenter of Sunday's political talk show The Andrew Marr Show — chose to go out Ron Burgundy-style.

"I have been wondering how to close this final show, but I can't do better than quoting my great mentor," Marr says in the clip below, which has since gone viral on Reddit. "You stay classy, San Diego."

"Stay class, San Diego" is, of course, how Ron Burgundy (the Anchorman lead character played by Will Ferrell) signs off all of his broadcasts.

Marr, known for tough interviews with leading UK politicians, isn't especially reminiscent of Ron Burgundy, but hey — he's clearly a fan of the man's work.

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
