Daily Show's Rob Corddry Welcomes Second Daughter

Karl Erikson — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 22:13:00 GMT

Rob Corddry, former correspondent for "The Daily Show," and his wife Sandra welcomed their second daughter early yesterday morning. The little darling - Marlo Stevenson Corddry - has a big sister, Sloane Sullivan, who is now 2.

A rep says, "Mother and daughter are doing well."

The couple announced the sex of the baby in September and Rob, 37, joked that "Sloane is pretty set on the name 'Freeka.' She also likes 'Laurie Berkner,' but that sounds weird in front of Corddry. We may just go with 'Baby the Entertainer' in case she grows up to be a black comedian."

Rob can be seen most recently in Oliver Stone's George Bush movie, "W." He plays White House Spokesman Ari Fleischer.

Congratulations Rob and Sandra! Welcome to the world, Marlo. You've got one funny, funny daddy.

Bee and Jones Have Daily Show Baby

Samantha Bee and her husband have a lot in common. They are both Canadian and they both work for The Daily Show. Hey, that's more than a lot of couples share.

They recently welcomed a son, Fletcher, to the family that already consisted of daughter Piper.

They're pretty funny- the parents anyway, I haven't seen any quotes from the kids yet.

When speaking to eTalk about Piper's appearing on The Daily Show Jason said, "If there's anything we learned, is that we didn't get enough money for our daughter's appearances on the show. This son is going to rake it in."

The couple met while working together in Canada, saying that they "bonded through our mutual dislike of the children, which is ironic because we're raising some now."

Funny how that happens.

Oh yeah, this is Dad:

A Moment of Jen

Whit Honea — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 17:01:00 GMT

Sometimes Friday afternoon in the FameCrawler office gets a bit hectic. Everyone is in a hurry so they can cut out early for Happy Hour or Wall-E, or both. Things get crazy. Things get said. People might cry (not me, I'm the one saying stuff).

When this happens, I reach for my my happy spot. Hey, not that. No, I'm talking about my moment of Jen. It's like a moment of Zen but without meditation or lawsuits from "The Daily Show." I would also accept a moment of zin.

Here's the moment, Jennifer Garner and little cutie Violet.

Everything is going to be okay.

Jon Stewart on Larry King

I just spend time I couldn't afford watching the entire video(s) of Larry King interviewing Jon Stewart. It's fantastic. If you like the first one you should just follow the video response links at YouTube for the continuation of the interview.

Jon Stewart Needs a Hug

Whit Honea — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 18:43:00 GMT

It ain't easy on the street for a comedian without a writing staff. Jon Stewart is apparently calling someone that cares, and that's sweet.

I don't know what the big deal is with needing writers for his show. As long as George Bush is in office he does all the work.

I suppose Stewart could just show YouTube clips for 30 minutes.
