Washington, D.C.: Newseum out to stay classy with ‘Anchorman’ exhibit

Props from “Anchorman” will be part of the Newseum exhibit. And remember, as Champ Kind would say, “It is anchorman, not anchorlady. And that is a scientific fact!”   (Kris Connor / Getty Images)

The news desk that Ron Burgundy holds down as the fictional anchor of Channel 4 News in San Diego joins other props in the Newseum exhibit. That’s the perch from which he would say, “You stay classy, San Diego.”  (Kris Connor / Getty Images)

Props from “Anchorman 2” are on display starting Thursday. Also among the memorabilia: anchorman Ron Burgundy’s mustache brush.   (Kris Connor / Getty Images)

Ron Burgundy narcissistic? The California vanity plate that says, “IM #1” might be a clue. It’s part of the exhibit at the Newseum. Above the tag, the monitor displays this line: “That, of course, was our newest reporter, Veronica Corningstone. She’s really great. I’d also like to share with you that we are currently dating.”  (Kris Connor / Getty Images)
