'Operation Silent Thunder' Starts Tonight
As we reported last week, Daily Show correspondent Rob Riggle will be reporting from (real) Iraq every night this week. The Hollywood Reporter talked to Riggle and his producer over the weekend about what viewers can expect:
"They went with a USO sketch comedy tour known as "Operation Feel the
Heat" — armed with small, handheld cameras — and also brought back
video that will be used for "Daily Show" about the troops and their
lives in Iraq."
"…the comedy this week from Iraq will focus on Riggle's escapades while
there. "Of course what's going on is serious, and we take it very
seriously," Riggle said. "Any humor we did, it's on me being an idiot.
We know where the line is."
There's also some interesting stuff from a journalism expert about how Riggle has more combat experience and training than the average war correspondent. Read the rest here: Nothing Fake about 'Daily Show' in Iraq
