The Daily Show in... Iraq?

[Dob]

From MSNBC
So the TDS sent Rob Riggle to Iraq as part of the USO tour, and to record some day to day stuff for the show. First, I can’t believe that Rob Riggle was actually a Major in the Marines, reserve or not, I just dont see that. He seems way to goofy to be a Marines officer!

The part of the article I found most interesting is this little bit:

Word on Friday that “The Daily Show” had a crew embedded with the U.S. military brought mixed reactions from executives at network news divisions charged with keeping their own journalists safe.

I wonder if they are really worried about TDS “reporters”, or just worried that Jon Stewart will show them for the hacks they are.

I can totally see Riggle as an ex-Marine. Sure, he’s goofy, but the man is built like a brick wall.

I remember Jon mentioned Riggle’s other career before his first appearance. If you look at him before he starts doing goofy stuff, it’s not hard to imagine at all.
