Editing Rob Corddry (section)

==Career==
===''The Daily Show''===
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. On October 4, 2005, his younger brother [[Nate Corddry]] made his first appearance as a ''Daily Show'' [[journalist|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 "[[Plastic surgery|in the shop]]", but in fact because of the birth of Stewart's second child).{{Citation needed|date=April 2009}}

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. 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 in fashion|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 "[[Toilet humour|poop joke]]".

<blockquote><poem>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.</poem></blockquote>

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''.<ref>Corddry, Rob (July 27, 2015).

Among the projects Corddry worked on after leaving ''The Daily Show'' was ''[[The Winner (TV series)|The Winner]]'', a 2007 TV series.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.tvsquad.com/category/the-daily-show|title=Television News, Reviews and TV Show Recaps |work=[[The Huffington Post]]|access-date=February 14, 2015}}</ref>
