Rob Corddry, you rock

The Onion AV Club has this fun little column they do on occasion where they ask a celebrity to hit "shuffle" on their iPod and talk about the songs that pop up. The column is called "Random Rules," and recently they had The Daily Show's Rob Corddry chat about his own personal playlist. I've always liked Corddry, but now I like him even more after finding out he's a Pavement fan (my favorite band) and also a fan of Lou Barlow's band Sebadoh, another band in my top five. Although I take some exception to him saying Brighten the Corners is a better album than Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain because that's just wrong. Anyway, Robby ol' pal, you're now my favorite Daily Show correspondent. Give me a call sometime and we'll slap Bakesale on the stereo and light up a doobie like we were in college again. Also, they spelled your last name wrong. We can discuss that, too.
Interview with the Corddry brothers

ROB [To Nate] Way to dress up for the interview. NATE [To Rob] Way to put on 40 pounds.
Oh, how I love the Corddry brothers. The most recent issue of Entertainment Weekly contains an interview with Rob and Nate (Nate and Rob). They discuss their comedy beginnings and how it was to have careers cross paths at The Daily Show. It's a rather brief read, but it offers some interesting information. For example, did you know Nate was taught stand-up by The Daily Show's Lewis Black?
Buy the issue on newsstands now (so you can bask in the full glory of the brothers' wonderful picture), or read the interview online and cope with a tiny version of the pic.

"Going Going Ghana": Sad news for American soccer fans... America won't be advancing to the next level in the World Cup because of a loss to Ghana. However, Australia, "the drunken us", will move on. Before the game, Ghana's fans cheerfully supported their team in broken English, whereas America's fans happily rooted for their team in really, really poor English. Jon raised a Yellow Card to the man in the video clip for inappropriate use of the word "Awesome". He then proceeded to throw a Red Card for an obnoxious "USA! WHOOO!". Jon mused that it'd be cool to have Red Cards to use in real life. "No. Dude. That was my sister. That is uncool" and pull the Red Card out of your jacket pocket.Corddry's not sure he can continue on The Daily Show

When Rob Corddry hosted the Webby Awards the other day, he mentioned that, with the pickup of his FOX pilot The Winner, he may no longer have time to continue with his duties on The Daily Show. This worried Dylan Stableford of FishbowlNY, so he got a response from a show spokesperson. The spokesperson didn't seem worried, saying that "Steve Carell would come in and tape five or six reports whenever he was in New York, and they'd be spread out on the show," The un-gendered spokesperson also went on to say that the show is a magnet for talent, so it wouldn't be a surprise if Rob was taken away from them for a bigger project.Huh. Pretty confident words for a show who's only decent "reporter" besides Corddry right now is Ed Helms (Samantha Bee is in this category, too, but her contributions have been limited since she had a baby). Well, let's just hope Jason Jones and Dan Bakkedhal get better and they bring back John Hodgman more regularly. That might make up for the loss of the "big Cs" (Colbert, Carell, and Corddry). Maybe.

The FBI recently dug around a farm to look for the body of Jimmy Hoffa. Well, finally. We were wondering what happened to him. Jon Stewart managed to throw in a Sopranos reference, suggesting Hoffa is still alive and well in New Hampshire with his volunteer-fireman partner. If the FBI finds Hoffa soon, that means we'll get Osama by 2047... if we're lucky.FOX picks up Rob Corddry's new comedy

According to The Futon Critic, FOX ordered six episodes of The Winner, starring The Daily Show correspondent Rob Corddry, effectively wiping Comedy Central clean of all Corddrys (little bro Nate is on Aaron Sorkin's new show at NBC). The Winner is about a successful man who looks fondly back at 1994, when he was 32 and a slacker living at his parents' home. It was co-created by The Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. It's a bummer to see Corddry go, but hopefully that means we'll get to see more John Hodgman.FOX also picked up 13 episodes of Happy Hour, a comedy that sounds like a modern-day Odd Couple about two thirty-something roommates.
Not surprisingly, FOX also has renewed The O.C. for a fourth season. Those crazy Orange County kids will be going off to college, but it appears the writers may be breaking with teen-angst drama tradition and sending them to different colleges in different towns. FOX also picked up 13 more episodes of The Loop and more of The War at Home, though it's not clear how many episodes it ordered.
Rob Corddry to host Webby Awards
by Adam Finley, posted Apr 5th 2006 12:09PM
The New York Times has described the Webby Awards as "the online equivalent of an Oscar," and they're
right, both awards are equally meaningless despite the noise and pageantry that surrounds them. But like the Oscars, at
least they're getting someone funny to lead the proceedings. Our pal Rob Corddry from The Daily Show is
returning to host the awards for their tenth year. Over 700 people are expected to attend the event when it takes place
in the Cipriani Wall Street area of NYC on June 12. As usual, acceptance speeches can only be five words long, which is
definitely something I think the Oscars should implement as well.

Al-Qaeda conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui
has been deemed eligible for the death penalty. Jon
couldn't help but wonder if the jury really even needed to step aside to deliberate, especially after Moussaoui took
the stand and admitted to planning to crash into the Towers (bad move, defense). "Eh, we don't need to talk about
it. Let's just kill the guy."Nate Corddry: In the Limelight

After growing accustomed to razor-sharp wit and perfect
delivery by the likes of Stephen Colbert, I found that some of the newest Daily Show correspondents weren't
quite up to par. I was extremely disappointed when newbies Dan Bakkedahl and Jason Jones both only garnered weak laughs
when they were not facing icy silences (Bakkedahl has yet to improve, Jones is doing slightly better). But then, what
came my way? A correspondent worthy of joining the ranks of the TDS elite! Of course, I am speaking of my
favorite TDS new guy, Mr. Nathan Corddry.The Daily Show: February 21, 2006

The holiday weekend passed without Vice
President Dick Cheney shooting anyone else. Hurrah! However, the injured man popped up in the news again... this time
to apologize to the Vice President. Yeah, you read that
right. What an awesome position Dick Cheney is in, to be able to shoot a guy in the face and then have the victim come
to you and say, "My bad". For this, Mr. Cheney, I am in awe.The Daily Show: February 9, 2006

Welcome to The Daily Show with
Rob Corddry. According to Rob, Jon Stewart was out because he had to get fixed up at the shop (but really, he was
probably just starting his weekend early so he could spend time with his new baby girl). When I saw Rob pop up
on-screen, I couldn't help but remember back to that time that Stephen Colbert filled in for Jon. It was more than a
little awkward (it wasn't that he was a bad host... it was just... weird), so I crossed my fingers that Rob could do a
better job.The Daily Show: August 18, 2005

Welcome to yet another episode of The Daily Show. Tonight's has been crafted lovingly out of, uh, cheese curds. But let's step away from the fake news for a moment to the real news... specifically, CNN's Situation Room, a room in which you can see any... situation. The show did 29 hours of coverage on the BTK Killer because the people need to know! Like... is he a bad guy? Well, his name is Bind Torture and Kill. One can only assume so. It's not as though we need CNN to tell us exactly how to feel about this guy getting a life sentence (and by the way, the way to feel is "f*cking great").The Daily Show: August 10, 2005

Jon Stewart begins with news about the ongoing war on terror, of course. FOX network hit the country hard with news about how the terrorists are using media to spread hate. Do tell! They elaborate on this shocking new fact by... showing the hateful videos. One video is voice-overed by FOX people with, "It seems to be a training video on making a bomb. Should we even be showing this?" Stewart screams at the camera, "No!" Oh, FOX, you silly, silly network.The Daily Show: August 9, 2005

Tonight's guest on The Daily Show is actress Kate Hudson. Kate Hudson. Jon Stewart starts off by saying that her family's river is very nice. He offers his kudos.Well, early this morning, the shuttle landed safely in California. Senior Space Correspondent, Stephen Colbert, elaborates on this. Colbert says that although the astronauts had to land in California due to bad weather in Florida, mission control in Houston had everything under control. They play a clip of missioin control guiding the shuttle, obnoxiously pointing out over and over again that the atmosphere is hot, hot, hot and that the handrails should be used when coming down the stairs. To go even more in-depth, Colbert demonstrates the landing by using his wallet as the shuttle, a napkin as the tile, and a toy shuttle as Earth. If these problems persist though, it may mark the end of the program. Colbert begs to differ though because we still have yet to fulfill our basic human need out there: finding the space oil. It's out there somewhere but we "just haven't figured out how to drill the void."

Jon Stewart begins with the two most important people in the world: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Cruise has proposed to Holmes (at the top of the Eiffel Tower, of all places). They are now engaged. That was fast. Stewart reports that this morning, Holmes gave birth. The kid is now seven. And a doctor. "Because everything they do, they do all out! Whether it be meeting or getting engaged, they do it with intensity!" he screams, almost drenching the screen in spit. Surely I'm not the only one that's feeling that the only people making a massive deal out of this relationship are Cruise and Holmes themselves. Well, attention Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes -- We don't care!TV Squad Hot Topics
