Just heard Rob Corddry say he's leaving The Daily Show.

This is probably old news, but I didn't know till now.

Wikipedia says he's leaving to star in a sitcom on Fox, that will probably be a midseason replacement.

Good for him, but I'm a little bit bummed.

1. Booo. He and Ed Helms are probably my favorite DS reporters

[idgiehkt]

2. he's my favorite

he was my 2nd favorite til Colbert left.

3. I didn't know

but in last night's show, when he was doing his imitation of a UN Peacekeeper (OMG was that funny or what?), I got this vibe, and I wondered if he was resentful of Colbert having gone on to his own show, and if he'd try to do the same.

So. Not surprised. Not happy, though. These guys, as brilliant as they are, belong on The Daily Show with Jon.

4. i didn't know either ...

It's too bad; he does some really good reports. There's been quite a turnover in the last year or so, it seems.

5. He, Colbert and Helms were the only good things on TDS.

Can't stand Jon Stewart. I don't find him funny in the least.

[question everything]

6. Was news to me, too.

Will miss him, though some of the new ones are good.

7. No more "This week in God?"

[Major Hogwash]

8. Well, that's a bummer.

Rob will probably fade into the stardust that covers the Hollywood Walk of fame, never to be seen again.

Anybody remember the fascinating career that Billy Mumy had after he left "Lost In Space"?

I rest my case.

[asthmaticeog]

9. Um...

Billy Mumy did and does have a fascinating career. Who cares if joe schmo has heard of it? He's done a lot of enviable stuff. :shrug:

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

10. He starred in Babylon 5, too.

[underpants]

11. They just added the English guy (pretty funny) and the Arab guy

plus they have Samantha Bee (eh) Jason whateverhisnameis and Backendahl (sp?)

[peekaloo]

12. Maybe he's competing with his little brother to see who can make

it to the "big time" first.

I see his bro, Nathan, will be on the new Sorkin series on NBC this fall.
