THE DAILY SHOW in Iraq…No Seriously

THE DAILY SHOW takes on Mess ‘o potamia next week from epicenter of the mess…Iraq.  And no I’m not kidding.  DAILY SHOW correspondent Rob Riggle wont’ be standing in front of a green screen when he files his reports from Iraq next week.  The faux-reporter was actually embedded with troops for a series of segments called ‘Operation Silent Thunder: The Daily Show in Iraq”.

No word on yet what the segments will cover, but we can expect that THE DAILY SHOW will do what it does best – expose some of the truths of war but with a little laughter to keep us all in check.  The Daily Show is at the forefront of comedy, but I can see the producers wanting to respect the opportunity that Riggle was given to travel with the troops.

Riggle, a major in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve who served in Liberia, Kosovo and Afghanistan, also participated in a comedy tour for the troops along with Horatio Sanz, Paul Scheer, and Rob Huebel.
