Your support makes all the difference.He plays the hapless weatherman Brick Tamland in Anchorman but it appears that Steve Carell is taking his role a little too seriously.
The actor was on ITV's breakfast morning show DayBreak talking about the upcoming Anchorman sequel when he decided to present the weather himself, leaving weather girl Laura Tobin in fits of giggles.
Shortly before Tobin started her weather bulletin Carell said to her: "If I can give you a piece of advice, clear your mind and think of anything but the weather while you're doing it."
She jokingly replied: "This is the most pressure I've ever felt to do the weather!"
As she started her piece to camera about this morning's fog, Carell stepped in and helped her out, causing Tobin to burst out laughing.
He went on to question her about the weather symbols before finishing the report by saying: "This is the hardest job in the world."
Carell is not the only Anchorman actor to have tried his hand at news presenting. Last week Will Ferrell, who plays the irrepressible Ron Burgundy, presented the news as his alter ego. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues will be out later this month.
