The Daily Show Reports from Iraq - For Real This Time (VIDEO)
For Real This Time

Rob Riggle, a Daily Show correspondent, has actual combat experience as a major in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve and was in Iraq for five days last week with a USO sketch comedy tour known as “Operation Feel the Heat.” Riggle, who was armed with small, hand-held cameras, also brought back video footage that will be used for the “Daily Show” about the troops and their lives in Iraq.

Fake-news program "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" is taking a page from serious news organizations this week with on-the-scene reports from the war zone in Iraq. Although "Daily Show" spends time on topics related to Iraq and often has one of its correspondents appear against a greenscreen that simulates the Middle Eastern country, it's the first time the show has gone the extra step and visited Iraq. Riggle, Clements and Bleyer visited several bases -- including Balad Air Force Base near Baghdad and two forward operating bases -- over five days. They performed with other comedians in 120-degree heat on makeshift stages, including a basketball court, then in between shot short videos for "Daily Show." "Definitely it was run and gun," said Clements, who with Bleyer ran the handheld camera. "First and foremost, we were there to entertain the troops." (washingtonpost)
