Rob Riggle Plays His Old Military Boss In A New Movie

[@Allagi22]

Rob Riggle served 23 years in the Marine Corps both active duty and reserves and retired as a Lt. Colonel.

[@hitzncritzmobilegaming9988]

@1 Hitter naw orange fedoras.

[@hitzncritzmobilegaming9988]

@1 Hitter no such thing as the orange fedoras, it was a joke.

[@natethagod2426]

Funny because his character in 12 strong was also a LT. Colonel

[@justlooking4771]

Errrrrrah!

[@Mikeplaysdbd]

Okay so how long was he deployed?

[@NS1973]

I'm glad they got him for that role. He's a good comedic actor, but to see a Marine take on the role of a Soldier in a film like this... he knows the lingo, the cadence, the pacing and the stance. He knows how Soldiers work, think and move. It's subtle, but I can always tell the difference between an actor filling a role and a Soldier/Marine working from experience. I'm really looking forward to seeing this now!

[@709mash]

And he worked directly for the guy he's playing. He knows him very well. Great casting!

[@tiadaid]

@@709mash I think the producers cast him on purpose because of his connection.

[@strahdvonzarovich290]

That was actually an hilarious interview. Rob Riggle is a great story-teller.

[@jonathankral6787]

Respect for “an” hilarious. Stephen would be proud

[@rolferikbaklkk6613]

Fun fact. Its actually from giraffes the technology of the g-suit comes from. They have a set of muscles in/up the neck thats there to help the heart pump blood to the head because the neck is so long.

[@PuppetierMaster]

poor giraffes they really do get the short end of the stick

[@MrStensnask]

Riggle is actually hilarious. Underrated comedian

[@Holy_hand-grenade]

MrStensnask really? Couldn’t tell on my own... thanks!

[@MrStensnask]

That's because you're an idiot :) thanks!

[@hadezues]

his CC standup is legend, lmao the football stadium bathroom bit.

[@jakesmith2984]

MrStensnask You're a pos Thanks!

[@emylievyrling534]

[@garettjames6349]

Colbert seemed to really enjoy that conversation.

[@samwilde5510]

Garett James he totally did, because as soon as the cameras were done, instead of leaving the stage right away like the other guests, Rob stayed and kept chatting to Stephen until he absolutely had to leave to carry on the show.

[@rasaecnai]

they both worked in the Daily Show for Jon Stewart..so yeah they are both stewart babies

[@kevinw712]

Was it just me who genuinely expected Riggle to lean over and try to kiss Stephen at the very end there? lol

[@Mr.Lubbox-Lobsterlegz1]

Colbert usually genuinely likes his guest, don't know how he does it really

[@BlakieTT]

That fighter pilot story was great. Rob's a good man, serving in the armed forces like that

[@Nygaard2]

It always seems so relaxed when the people of the old Daily Show team meet up... Must have been a good place to work!

[@peterbentham639]

Yeah. Nice observation.

[@MikhailKalashnikovMiG]

It’s also interesting that the Daily Show produced some of the most successful actors

[@Silvernirvash]

well, when you treat your staff like well...humans....with respect...dignity....those staff members tend to move onto doing greater things than when they were with you. Hell even Stephen himself I'd argue moved onto doing something greater than being part of the daily show because he took over for one of the greatest late night hosts of the age and completely changed how late night talk shows work. Everyone that's worked on the daily show has gone on to do something amazing with their life and I commend and wish even better for each and every one of them. If you want a prime example of the polar opposite just look at Fox news.....i don't see any of their staff members moving on to doing something BETTER given their track record thus far with scandals.

[@steh8831]

Magnus Nygaard - That explains the rapport they have then.

[@ChrisCaldwellO66]

I loved my tenure there!

[@jaylew889]

Nothing but respect for the marines and on that note nothing but respect for Riggle for clarifying who the first boots on the ground actually belong to

[@MisfitSpazz01]

Love me some Riggle.

[@frantura7482]

like kobayashi !!!

[@ChrisCaldwellO66]

Yes! Thats my penises nickname!

[@tr0nd15c]

Robb is probably one of the most underrated comedic/drama actors on current market. This scene was awesome.

[@wordword6039]

Riggles personality actually reminds me of those pilots I worked with in the Marine Corps. Most were very intelligent but had an incredible sense of humor. But when it came to business they were always there and were absolutely professional.

[@dr.pendyke4887]

Rob Riggle has a Jimmy Stewart smile and I think that is a compliment, not to mention he is funny and seems like an awesome dude.

[@LasciviousLibra]

Canadian here; I'm not a fan of Riggle's comedy, but every fucking clip I watch of him makes me adore his character, his fucking authenticity. This man has done so much for veterans and persists in remaining humble. Class fucking act act; God bless you Rob Riggle.

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

My face hurts from laughing so hard - Rob Riggle is a funny guy.

[@karenling2106]

he's a funny guy

[@valerie80yearsago90]

What a class act. Such a charismatic guy!

[@hanscombe72]

0:52 I freakin’ love that. Can’t spell it but I come back regularly to hear him do that sound!

[@bakerXderek]

Definitely gonna watch Rob's new movie. Looks good.

[@Lifeinthe808]

It was a GREAT film! I just watched it on Amazon....2 years later....LoL

[@thirdeyestudios5935]

So my dad was in the 160th SOAR during the whole 12 Strong thing, and a couple of years ago my parents moved in and his neighbor was his old buddy from the Army. turns out that both of them were featured in the movie, and my friend actually ended up playing my dad's neighbor.

[@alfreddelatourquipenche8287]

6:43 Happened October 2001, never been done in 21st century warfare. Impressive.

[@SpiderPigggg]

Polish forces attacked Germans panzer divisions during the blitzkrieg on horseback. Its been done before. But that was 20th century warfare.

[@DeosPraetorian]

@@SpiderPigggg that is also total BS by the way that never happened

I have rewatched this 5 or 6 times in the past few years, I just love every part of this

[@windwoman3549]

As a former Marine myself, I’ve never met one who was funny & wanted to be an actor like Riggle. EVER - & that’s in 34 years!

[@windwoman3549]

Karma Hoe Listen up, douche: TONS of former Marines refer to themselves as FORMER Marines. You’re falling into the old trope/joke - got that? The only term I won’t take is “ex-Marine” - which to us means someone who got thrown out of the Corps. I.e., someone who screwed up badly enough to get busted & discharged under ‘for the good of the service’, ‘other than honorable’, ‘bad conduct discharge’ (Big Chicken Dinner), or - rarely - a ‘dishonorable discharge’, which is usually a felony-level offense such as murder or actual (more than 30 days gone) desertion. I AM a FORMER active-duty Marine. I AM a USMC veteran (service connected.) I married a Marine. I birthed & raised a now-former Marine (also service connected.) My son’s father retired with 20 years. A friend retired with 30 YEARS. We lost 2 brothers-in-arms/friends in the Murrah Building bombing of 1995. We sat with their loved ones while waiting for the bodies to be found. We attended the military memorial service on Tinker AFB. Wanna know my MOS? Wanna see my DD-214? Wanna talk to my son, who was born while I was on active-duty? Wanna see my V.A. ID w/ “service connected” under my picture? Where did I go to boot camp, asshole? What’s the process to re-enlist? What does SBI stand for? What’s a hash mark? Proper flag etiquette? What’s the nickname we use for a force march? What’s the nickname for female Marines? Who’s the Corp’s mascot, what’s it’s name - and why? What elements are ALWAYS observed at Marine Corps Birthday Balls? What does “A School” mean? What unusual inoculation do we receive? What do we call a toilet & from where is the word derived? What’s the Marine Corps equivalent of Army Special Forces & Navy SEALS? What does the acronym “FAST” stand for? What are the levels of rifle marksmanship from the bottom up? What does the red stripe on our blues trousers signify? You’re a massive part of the problem in this day & age, you dilated asshole. You think you know stuff you absolutely DON’T. Which means you obviously didn’t have the balls to be a Marine! So with all due respect (which is to say NONE), Hoe - go screw yourself.

[@JoshyHendoMan]

I could listen to him tell stories all day.

[@KThyme]

Rob Riggle looks really good since leaving the daily show. That man has gotten in shape!

[@lemonadecupcakes]

You know what, I was around him during that time, and he was surprisingly hot then as well. I think it was the goofy character he played that toned it down on the daily show.

[@benjaminfranklin6166]

Riggle did a great job to move to do movies , we've had some best movie scenes with him so far ! Great job

[@SandraNelson063]

My Dad was a pilot for the Canadian Navy. He flew sub killers off of Canada's only aircraft carrier, the Bonaventure. Bonnie, to her friends. When his time as a pilot was over he brought the G-suit and big helmet home for my brother and I to play with. We had it in the basement for years. It got REALLY hard for me to put on. Those suits have NO room for girl parts. No room at all.

[@LisaLisa-rl3pm]

[@POTFULLOFGREEN]

He's really underrated but he really works that sarcastic asshole-type humor pretty well mostly because he's got the look for it. It's actually one of my favorite types of humor.

[@Utubesuperstar]

7 g’s with no g suit is super impressive tbh

Canada sent its first element of Canadian soldiers secretly in October 2001 from Joint Task Force 2 a elite special operations force of the Canadian Armed Forces, and the first contingents of regular Canadian troops arrived in Afghanistan in January-February 2002. Canada took on a larger role starting in 2006 after the Canadian troops were redeployed to Kandahar province.

Look at the comment info to figure out which year it was that saw me go. Love this guy.

History point: 12 Strong was critical as they discovered environmental conditions of events conducted; rocky mountains, signal pockets, valleys and crests, villages and the populations, etc. MANY arena adjustments were made to tolerate the terrain. It's like a mindset of jungle warfare of Vietnam of everything being green, humidity on weapons, etc.

[@punch6832]

They don’t wear G-suits because they rest their wrists on their legs for stability while flying. If the suit inflated while flying inches from the jet next it would make a dangerous maneuver even more dangerous. I saw it on a documentary and that was right out of a blue angels’ mouth.
