Rob Corddry

Corddry appeared throughout the week, once filing a report from inside a toilet bowl supposedly on board an aircraft transporting John Mark Karr, and another dressed up in a 1970s fashion; Stewart remarked, "It's his last week, and really, we're trying to come up with terrible things for him to have to do."

During that last show on August 24, Corddry aired a self-produced tribute to his four years on the show, going out, as Stewart said, with a "poop joke".

Stewart: That was a very fitting tribute, Rob.

We're gonna miss you on the show.

Corddry: Why thank you, Jon.

But wherever I go and whatever I do, there'll always be a part of me here.

Stewart: Wow...that's a really sweet thing to say.

Corddry: No no no, I'm not kidding.

It's in the second floor men's room, actually.

That's what you get for not giving me a proper send off.

Stewart: You're really gonna go out on a poop joke?

Corddry: I have to stay true to myself, Jon.

Corddry cites Stewart as a profound influence on his comedy, crediting Stewart for teaching him how to focus on an idea in order to find the humor in it, and says that his The Daily Show pedigree earned him the clout to make Childrens Hospital.

Robert William Corddry (born February 4, 1971) is an American actor and comedian.

After graduating from Weymouth North High School (1989), Corddry went to the University of Massachusetts Amherst (1989–93).

According to an interview in the UMass Amherst alumni magazine, Corddry initially planned to major in journalism but changed his major to English.

By his second year, he focused much of his attention on Drama classes and plays including Torch Song Trilogy, Ten Little Indians, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Romeo and Juliet, and Reckless.

While at UMass, Corddry pledged the Theta chapter of Theta Chi fraternity.

In January 1994, Corddry moved to New York City.

His early paying jobs included working as a security guard at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and handing out menus for a Mexican restaurant.

He eventually landed acting jobs, including a year-long tour with the National Shakespeare Company.

He trained in improv at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York City, performing regularly as a member of the sketch comedy group "The Naked Babies" (with John Ross Bowie, Brian Huskey, and Seth Morris); and he spent two years with the sketch comedy group "Third Rail Comedy".

Corddry's first notable television appearances were on Comedy Central's Upright Citizens Brigade (1998–2000).

He is known for his work as a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (2002–2006) and for his starring role in the film Hot Tub Time Machine.

He is the creator and star of Adult Swim's Childrens Hospital and has been awarded four Primetime Emmy Awards.

He previously starred in the HBO series Ballers and the CBS comedy The Unicorn.

Corddry was born and raised in Weymouth, Massachusetts.

He is the son of Robin (née Sullivan) and Steven Corddry, who was a Massachusetts Port Authority official.

He is the older brother of actor Nate Corddry.

Corddry and his brother are both Eagle Scouts from Troop 19, located in Weymouth.

In Spring 2002, he accepted an audition for The Daily Show.

His pieces for The Daily Show frequently included references to Boston, Massachusetts, which he considers to be his hometown.

He has also made appearances in Old School (2003, credited as Robert Corddry), Blades of Glory, Semi-Pro, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, Failure to Launch and The Ten.

Corddry's played the title character in Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story (2004) and Mac, Ben Stiller's character's best friend in The Heartbreak Kid.

On October 4, 2005, his younger brother Nate Corddry made his first appearance as a Daily Show correspondent.

On January 12, 2006, Corddry's wife Sandra appeared with him on a Daily Show segment; they welcomed their first child, daughter Sloane Sullivan Corddry, on July 3, 2006.

On February 9, 2006 Corddry hosted an episode of The Daily Show due to the absence of Jon Stewart (jokingly because the show's regular host was "in the shop", but in fact because of the birth of Stewart's second child).

On August 15, 2006, Corddry said "I've got like a week and a half left, all bets are off", and then on August 21, 2006, Stewart remarked that Corddry's last day on The Daily Show would be August 24, 2006.

Among the projects Corddry worked on after leaving The Daily Show was The Winner, a 2007 TV series.

Corddry has since made appearances on the show, both as a guest and as a correspondent.
