Rob Corddry
Thursday, 10 Feb 2005 at 8:00 pm – Stephens Auditorium, ISU Center - ADMISSION FREE
Rob Corddry is a correspondent for Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. His political reporting antics have been the highlight of the Emmy- Award winning show. He will bring clips of the show and talk about the process of reporting on the best "fake" news show on television. Following his presentation, he will be signing copies of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction in the Celebrity Cafe.
Stay for the entire event, including the brief question-and-answer session that follows the formal presentation. Most events run 75 minutes.
Sign-ins are after the event concludes. For lectures in the Memorial Union, go to the information desk in the Main Lounge. In other academic buildings, look for signage outside the auditorium.
