Kristen Wiig Joining ‘Anchorman 2′ Cast

WHAMMY!

Deadline reports that former "Saturday Night Live" castmember Kristen Wiig will join the cast of the upcoming "Anchorman 2" as the wife of Steve Carell's character of brain-dead weatherman Brick Tamland.

Director Adam McKay seems to be getting closer to creating, in his words, “a murderer’s row of the best day players ever...every single one-line or three-line role [will] just be someone we just love.”

"Anchorman 2" is scheduled for release Dec. 20.
