If the name doesn't ring a bell try watching these clips (best ones are on the top IMO) and you'll remember.

His latest one is the best but it just dropped off the list! Can't find it.

Anyway, Rob Corddry = awesome.

He's no Colbert or Carrell, but he's coming along.

BTW, every Daily Show clip started with an ad. Not so unusual these days, but in this case every one I saw was for either The US Army or US Army Reserves.
Coincidence?
How many people actively looking to watch Daily Show clips online are even remotely considering joining the Army or the Reserves right now?
Confused

I watch the clips downloaded from torrentspy and don't get any ads.

Colbert is the best- his new show rivals The Daily Show.

I meant the links that Mithridates provided- check and see what ads you get.
I suspect that A) they're random, but B) they're really blitzing the recruitment ads, which in turn makes for C) irony.

Yeah, it was pretty ironic, I noticed that too. I haven't been getting ads for the past few days though.
I haven't decided about Colbert's new show though. It'll probably be good.

A girl I know here though loves Corddry way more than Ed Holms or Colbert though. Something about him just seems to get past the language barrier.

Everyone on that show is terrific.

Question: Why, when I download the Windows Series 9 Media Player and go back and click the link, do I still get a window that says I can't play it?

I don't know, but when you get it sorted out check out this gem from Lewis Black:

Rob Cordry, IMHO, was a bit awkward at first but hit his stride on "Rob Cordry's Gotta Go." That is one of my all-time favorite bits from any DS correspondent.

I'm finding Bob Wiltfong kinda dry, kinda like A. Whitney Brown back in the late '80s SNL Weekend Update spots with Dennis Miller.

They've been testing this new guy, Jason Jones, and this guy has balls. All of the pieces I have seen from him, I have either said, "Did he just say that," or, "Did he just do that?"

I think Lewis Black is my favorite of these guys- he is so earnest and incredulous, and enegetic. His hands tell a whole story on their own.

Yes, I like his style- He's Chris Farley's older and smarter brother.

Last time I listened to Air America they had ads on for a gun shop. Shocked

Corddry and the Daily Show are the cat's meow !
