Six months later, Burgundy is back in San Diego, but barely able to hold a job due to his depression. After being fired from SeaWorld and botching a suicide attempt, Burgundy accepts a job offered to him by Freddie Shapp Dylan Baker with GNN Global News Network, the worlds first 24hour cable news network, for GNNs official launch. He reassembles his news team, finding Champ Kind David Koechner, who owns a fried chicken store that sells bats secretly to cut down on costs, Brian Fantana Paul Rudd, now a famous cat photographer, and Brick Tamland Steve Carell, who is presumed dead but appears at his own funeral. They are assigned the unpopular latenight timeslot while obnoxious rival anchorman Jack Lime James Marsden is put in a primetime slot. Meanwhile, Burgundy finds that Corningstone has started dating another man, a psychologist named Gary Greg Kinnear.As GNN launches, Burgundy decides to broadcast what the people want to hear, rather than what they need to hear. He and his team devise a sensationalist and attentiongrabbing newscast. Their new approach proves to be a hit, beating Lime in ratings by a massive margin, and the other news networks scramble to emulate them. Burgundy and his team are promoted to primetime, where they enjoy fame and fortune. Burgundys success excites GNNs manager, Linda Jackson Meagan Good, and they begin a romantic relationship. Tamland meets a similarly eccentric GNN office worker named Chani Kristen Wiig and immediately falls in love. Burgundy lets his newfound fame get to his head and neglects his parental obligations to Walter, angering Corningstone. He also alienates Fantana, Kind, and Tamland, claiming he is tired of carrying them. ........
