ESPN2's "His & Hers" Spoofs "Anchorman" In Online Video

ESPN today premiered an online spoof video titled, "Co-Anchorman: The Legend of His & Hers," a parody of the popular fight scene in the film "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy." The video features "His & Hers" hosts Jemele Hill and Michael Smith along with the net's Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic against members of rival shows "NFL Live," "SportsCenter AM," "E: 60" and "One Nación." This is the fifth "His & Hers" spoof video (ESPN).

The video is already earning rave reviews on social media. Stand-up comic Sopan Deb: "I can get behind this. Pretty great." Arizona-based KMVP-FM's Paige Dimakos: "@jemelehill is the best part of this video and the @michaelsmith line about FS1." Holland Sentinel's Chris Zadorozny: "This just might be the best video @espn has ever made." The Big Lead's Stephen Douglas: "The way the Internet ran Anchorman into the ground for years, it's impressive that they were able to pull that off so well."
