The second season of The Ron Burgundy Podcast was kicked off on Thursday with an episode featuring Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. The iHeartRadio- and Funny or Die-produced podcast will release new episodes every week.

Burgundy, on The Tonight Show, joked about the New York Yankees and Shawn Mendes before telling host Jimmy Fallon about a knife fight he had with Kylie Minogue.

Burgundy got more political on The Late Show, discussing with host Stephen Colbert the Mueller report, to which he referred as the Ferris Bueller Report.

"Look, no collusion, definitely obstruction, but the fact that you select a fictional movie character to investigate the president is way beyond my pay grade," he said.

Burgundy, on Jimmy Kimmel Live, said that he steals jokes when doing stand-up "I steal a lot of the jokes, but that's what's great. You can cherry-pick and the other comics they don't care," he said.
