Rob Riggle Leaves The Daily Show To "Fight Crime" On CBS

Last night, The Daily Show said farewell to correspondent of two years, the former Marine Rob Riggle, with a moving tribute called RIP, "Riggle In Perspective":

If you want to know what Rob Riggle is going to be doing now, you can read a reputable entertainment outlet like Variety. Or you can read this random blog that seems to have translated the story from English to another language to English again: Rob Riggle Leave 'The Daily Show' December 12:

He is best known as a show that sometimes "military correspondent," but anger.

So true! Anyway, he's going to develop a comedy on CBS. (Might I suggest a remake of Major Dad, but funny?)

For the sake of having someone else do my homework, I'm going to pose these questions: Aren't Jason Jones and Samantha Bee ALSO developing sitcoms on CBS? And if so, what the hell is up with poaching TDS thrice over?

Also, Rob Riggle during last night's Moment of Zen (answering some guy's question of what his ten unchangeable qualities are) is easily one of the funniest things I have ever had the pleasure of watching on TV.

Rob Riggle was the worst correspondent ever on The Daily Show. They went from clever performers like Samantha Bee and John Oliver to dumb fraternity soldier boy Riggle. Maybe it's safe to watch The Daily Show again.

people who don't like Riggle are Cunts.
This is fact, not an opinion. If you argue or comment back in response, you are definitely childish and slightly retarded.
