Allie Merriam — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 01:12:00 PDT

Rob Riggle has the pleasure of starring opposite Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill in Friday's 21 Jump Street. He plays a gym teacher mentoring their characters, who are undercover as high school students. We asked Rob where he'd sneak in, if he could, and chatted about the fun of making the film with Channing and Jonah in New Orleans. Rob has another idea about an '80s series ripe for a comeback - and his pick may surprise you.

Taylor Swift Captivates Costars Zac, Ed, Danny, and Rob at The Lorax Premiere

Katie Henry — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 10:21:07 PST

The orange carpet was rolled out in Hollywood yesterday for the world premiere of Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. Two of the film's stars, Zac Efron and Taylor Swift, in an Honor dress, shared a big hug before making their way down the press line. Ed Helms hit the event solo, but met up with the star of the 3D animated movie, the Lorax himself, for pictures. Danny DeVito brought his family along, and Betty White, who voices the part of Zac's grandmother, was all smiles.

We recently sat down with the cast at the LA junket, where Ed hinted about an Office spinoff starring Rainn Wilson and his friendly rivalry with Taylor. Zac touched on his other upcoming projects, The Lucky One and The Paperboy, before giving us his best Matthew McConaughey impression. It was Taylor's first movie junket, but she seemed like a total pro. She described for us the differences between making music vs. acting, and talked with great excitement about her upcoming album. Taylor couldn't reveal an exact release date for the record, but did say it will have a "different" sound.

CBS Scores Another Daily Show Alum: Rob Riggle

BuzzSugar — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 10:38:50 PDT

CBS's comedy department is starting to look a little like The Daily Show, Primetime Edition. Current Daily Show correspondent Rob Riggle has just signed a deal to create and star in a half-hour CBS comedy, following a similar deal by Samantha Bee and Jason Jones last week.

Riggle is committed to The Daily Show through the end of the year, but after that, he'll make the jump to CBS to start working on his show. He's still kicking around ideas for the series, but one thought is that it could draw on his experiences as an officer in the Marine Corps Reserves, as Riggle's done before on the Daily Show.

I'm so glad to see that this wave of Daily Show correspondents will be branching out into new, cool-sounding projects, just like Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Rob Corddry, and Ed Helms did a few years ago. And hey, it looks like there will be some openings over at The Daily Show for 2009, so here's hoping the new correspondents they track down are just as funny as the ones who came before.

Are you excited to see Riggle get his own show? And are there any other current Daily Show correspondents who you think deserve a solo project?

"Daily Show" Correspondent Keeps It Real in Iraq

BuzzSugar — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 13:39:59 PDT

When "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" correspondent Rob Riggle reports on the Iraq war tonight, the segment will be a little different from Riggle's typical dispatches on "Mess O'Potamia." This time, Riggle will actually be reporting from Iraq.

Riggle, who was a major in the U.S. Marine Corps before becoming one of the "Daily Show"'s funny guys, recently spent five days with troops in Iraq as part of a USO comedy tour. While there, he and a "Daily Show" writer and producer gathered video footage to use on the show this week - the first time the show has reported from Iraq.

War is, obviously, a serious matter, so where's the funny part? Mostly, the reports will be making fun of Riggle and his adventures while overseas. "Of course what's going on is serious, and we take it very seriously," Riggle told the Hollywood Reporter. "Any humor we did, it's on me being an idiot. We know where the line is."

With embedded reporters and interviews with presidential candidates, the fake-news show is starting to look more and more like a real news outlet. I'm curious to see what Riggle has to say about Iraq now that he's seen the war up close.

The Hunger Games and Bridesmaids Lead the Pack For the 2012 MTV Movie Awards Nominees

Becky Kirsch — Tue, 01 May 2012 07:25:46 PDT

Is The Hunger Games the new Twilight? If the new crop of nominees for the MTV Movie Awards are any indication, we might be in for a regime change. Along with Bridesmaids, The Hunger Games is leading the pack, including nods for male and female performance and movie of the year. Of course the real question will be whether or not Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson can take down Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart for best kiss, a category the Twilight couple has dominated for the past three years.

As for the rest of the nominees, big comedies from the year like Crazy, Stupid, Love and 21 Jump Street got a lot of love, as did the final installment in the Harry Potter series. There are also a handful of new categories, like best music and the oh-so-prestigious best on-screen dirt bag. Check out the full list of nominees before the show airs on June 3.
