Correspondent Rob Riggle, who has combat experience as a U.S. Marine Corps major, spent five days in Iraq last week with "Daily Show" writer Kevin Bleyer and field producer Glenn Clements. 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.
