Rob Riggle on Being in the Marine Corps Before His Acting Career | The Rich Eisen Show | 1/22/18

[Rushmore]

I like the way he said "my Marines" when describing those under his command.

[Jarod-tebi]

I have a whole new respect for rob as a person and actor.

[MrTech]

Most recently, Adam Driver served in the Marines as Lance Corporal before becoming an actor.

[timothyprice]

Rob Riggle actually served with my father (Colonel Tom Bright) and actually was able to get my father on Larry King to give updates on the Iraq war after 9/11.

[isaacschmitt]

I love how you can look at someone and tell that they were an officer.

"Oh, I served!"
"You were an officer, weren't you?"
"How can you tell?"
"My enlisted senses were tingling, telling me not to hit you."

[geraldga]

The singer Shaggy (remember the song "It wasn't me") was a Marine too. Imagine him doing the cadence during a march.

Rob served in Afghanistan before he became a Stand-up Comic. Then the real bombing began. - Jimmy Carr

[jamesbonanno]

He is a fine comedian and I'm sure he was a great Marine. Semper Fi

[jonboxleitner]

I was in the Marine Corps for three years back in the '80s. Lots of bravado and comedy all around. Good times.

[jpturner]

Semper Fi brother! Proud to have you part of our family!

[loscriticssupreme]

Glad I treated marines and helped bring them home. Semper Fi marines. Air Force Medic OIF.

[rbarger]

R. Lee Ermey was a Marine Corps Drill Instructor. R.I.P.

[JackassHill]

Designated Driver is one of the funniest skits I've ever seen. Made me a fan of Rob Riggle, and that was before I knew he was a Marine.

[roberthuber]

Comedian Johnathan Winters quit high school at 17 and joined the Marines and fought in the Pacific during WW 2.

[txgunguy]

Bea Arthur was also a Marine. During WW2 she was a Sgt in the USMC Women's Auxiliary.
And Dr. Ruth Westheimer was an Israeli scout-sniper in 1948-49.

[downhilltwofour]

Fro me, it's really a stretch to imagine Rob as a Lt. Colonel in the Marines! I worked for a number of years with a Lt.Colonel retired from the Army and he was the toughest man I ever knew. he was extremely intelligent, had no fear and was a great ally in any kind of circumstance and not the guy you wanted to get on the wrong side of!

[HarleySG]

Loved him on "the Daily Show". Much, much respect for his service!

[jonahank]

Rob Riggle has that “I was a officer” look lol

Salute to my fellow field grades

[mountainneko]

One of the greatest comedians of all times, Johnathan Winters was a Marine. . .

[D__Lee]

Tyrone Power was a USMC aviator during World War II. He refused the movie studio's offer to get him an officer's commission and a cushy job in public relations or the USO. Instead, Power went to basic training as a private; then to OCS; pilot training and serving in the Pacific.
