I am Rob Riggle. AMA! POW!

buckykatt31 · 2014-11-12T19:39:17+00:00

"Step Brothers" is one of my all time favorite movies and I believe your character is secretly the funniest character.

This deleted scene where you have a heart attach describing a giant penis is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Why did they delete it and did you improvise that?

Any other stories about working on Step Brothers? POW!

BangerRengRufio · 2014-11-12T19:53:47+00:00

Pow.

Keshabro · 2014-11-12T19:37:09+00:00

Hey Rob,

What does Channing Tatum smell like? Asking for a friend.

3scompany4throomate · 2014-11-12T19:39:15+00:00

How did you celebrate Veteran's day?

Glochian · 2014-11-12T19:55:40+00:00

2 questions for you Mr. Riggle....1.) would you of sent Alex Gordon if you were the Royals 3rd base coach? 2.) Which one of the players on the Giants team has a punch able face? POWWWW

MrsCountryNerd · 2014-11-12T19:28:37+00:00

Rob Riggle. You and I are going on a date. Where do you take me and what do we do?

P.S. Pow!

mcbogart · 2014-11-12T19:38:52+00:00

Have you ever done full frontal nudity? Would you be willing to do a Buffalo Bill in a movie?

JRKLLL · 2014-11-12T19:38:06+00:00

Are you friends with fellow Overland Park guys Paul Rudd and Jason Sudekis?

KidRockOFFICIAL · 2014-11-12T19:36:00+00:00

Hey Rob! It looks like you guys had a ball filming "21 Jump street". Were Jonah and Channing great guys to work with? I need me some Doug McQuade.

Bongzilla_ · 2014-11-12T21:15:11+00:00

McRob Sandwich! Do you hold in farts around your wife or do you let em rip? Seriously man.

michigandolphin · 2014-11-12T19:31:10+00:00

What was the transition from Marine to comedian like?

You kick ass. POW!

BluePolitico · 2014-11-12T19:42:14+00:00

Fuck, marry, kill: Terry Bradshaw, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson?

oscarveli · 2014-11-12T19:28:09+00:00

In your opinion, who is the funniest actor or comedian that you have ever worked with?

arbitrary_aardvark · 2014-11-12T19:31:00+00:00

How did it feel getting shot in the dick?

surfelport · 2014-11-12T19:57:54+00:00

I was getting in the elevator on around the 10th floor of the Sheraton Hotel in North Hollywood in like 2008 or 2009. I saw Jeff Daniels behind me, so I held the elevator door for him. He saw me then he took out his phone and pretended to be texting because I assume he thought I was going to talk to him and maybe annoy him. I was mad for years over this. But I think he made the right decision faking that text message because I was definitely going to start talking about how much I love his movies. Can you tell him I am no longer mad about this? And have you ever faked a text to get out of talking to anyone? I do this all the time now.

____aj_ · 2014-11-12T19:36:09+00:00

What's your best hangover cure?

blueschooler · 2014-11-12T19:39:15+00:00

Your picks have been top notch this year, what's the secret? You like the Chiefs vs the Hawks this week?

faraday56 · 2014-11-12T19:54:57+00:00

What's up with the art behind you in your proof picture?

kingofbigmac · 2014-11-12T20:26:48+00:00

How was the Catalina Wine Mixer?

MONKS_STILL_FTW · 2014-11-12T19:31:10+00:00

Hey Rob Riggle! Thank you so much for giving us this chance

What was it like working with the cast and crew of Dumb and Dumber To?
Do you have any off camera memories from SNL?

Thank you again for giving us this opportunity, on behalf of this AMA I'd like to commend you on your talents and wish you luck on your current and future projects

5028675309 · 2014-11-12T21:18:13+00:00

Hey Rob. Louisville native here. When was the last time you were here to visit? What's your favorite thing to do here? (I just assume you still affiliate from here since you are from here.)

Holy moly!! It's my Cake Day!!

eastcoastk · 2014-11-12T19:35:41+00:00

Hey Rob.

What is the most interesting thing no one knows about you?

gzcl · 2014-11-12T19:39:29+00:00

As an active duty Marine for the last 9 1/2 years I want to say Semper Fidelis and Happy Birthday brother. When I found out you were a commissioned officer I was amazed and seriously impressed. I'm a huge fan and very happy to see another Marine work hard as hell and see such great success.

I only have one question, I am a very small figure in a niche sport that is gaining popularity, what single thing do you suggest I do to earn and keep a positive public appearance while growing my audience/follower base?

poonchinello · 2014-11-12T19:32:35+00:00

Loved your 30-minute standup on Comedy Central several years ago. Any chance of seeing more routines, or are you strictly doing movies now? I hate Cotton-Tops.

robthedino · 2014-11-12T20:40:46+00:00

How has serving as a marine affected your humor?

heybryguy · 2014-11-12T19:30:18+00:00

What’s up Rob?! “Not you fat Jesus.” Unbelievably amazing delivery of a line, thank you for that...

Have you ever considered taking on more serious dramatic roles? I always thought of you as one of the really good comedic actors who could make that leap, sort of how Robin Williams occasionally did.

westcoast_eastsider · 2014-11-12T19:34:19+00:00

Hey Rob, two questions

1.) What event(s) occurred in flight school that made you decide to pursue a career in comedy?

2.) What actor/actress came across as extremely intimidating but turned out to be a cool dude/chick once you started working with them?

Thanks!

TitianVecelli · 2014-11-12T19:53:06+00:00

What's your favorite Kansas City BBQ?

bang_o_rang_rufio · 2014-11-12T21:01:17+00:00

Hey Rob, thank you for your service even if it was an O type in the Marines (GO ARMY). My question is about when you did the bit on Berkeley for the daily show. Did any of them know who you were? The one hippie that you interviewed had to know something right?

fawltywiring · 2014-11-12T19:35:16+00:00

Jim Carrey is one of the most manic actors I've ever seen in anything. How hard is it to keep a straight face when doing scenes w/ him?

Frajer · 2014-11-12T19:36:48+00:00

How do you feel about playing characters that can be jerks?

Iamthatguy_dontbe · 2014-11-12T19:57:49+00:00

Hey Rob me and another 0321 would like to have a drinking contest with us here at GruntStyle.com. Challenge accepted?

HappyEverNow · 2014-11-12T20:44:30+00:00

Hi Rob! Two of my best friends are from Louisville and Overland Park, so I think both of those cities are really great! I'm from Ohio and live on the east coast now so the Midwest holds a really special place in my heart.

What was your favorite part about growing up there? Least favorite? How do you think it's affected you as a person and an actor/comedian?

I'm looking forward to seeing you in Dumb and Dumber To!

Halome · 2014-11-12T20:45:23+00:00

SIR!! Happy belated birthday and veterans day, first and foremost. We look great for 239 years, don't we!

Question - What has been your faaaaaaaaaavorite comedy project to date?

And for the hell of it, do you ever frequent any Marine or military humor sites, like Terminal Lance for example?

Thanks for doing this AMA, I'll definitely be seeing the movie on Friday, can't wait!

YUT!!!!!!!!!!!

Ianoods · 2014-11-12T20:51:43+00:00

Was there a part in a movie/TV show that you really wanted but didn't get?

JohnnyOptimist · 2014-11-12T21:06:56+00:00

Mr. Riggle, I played at the last Big Slick KC (sat next to Eric Stonestreet) & had a blast. Why did they switch to Bowling this year?

erickjohn · 2014-11-13T07:51:49+00:00

Sir, what's your sixth general order?

rockchalk88 · 2014-11-12T19:37:56+00:00

First off, Rock Chalk.

My questions, feel free to answer any of them:

-What's your favorite place to eat in Lawrence? -Where was your favorite place to hang out while you went to KU? -Can you coach better than Charlie Weis? -Are you more excited to see Bill Self or is he more excited to see you?

Finally, since you couldn't make it to Allen Fieldhouse last night for Salute to Service, when will you be at a KU game this year?

03golf · 2014-11-12T20:38:48+00:00

Hey Rob, former Marine here. Do you regret leaving the Marine Corps?

bigeyedtuna · 2014-11-12T19:49:53+00:00

Hi Rob! ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK and thank you for your service!

-Which is better: Boulevard or Free State beer?

-Would you rather hang out with Channing Tatum or Jonah Hill?

-What are your Super Bowl picks?

--Can you please tell Bill Self I said hi?

Thanks!

VAGMONSTER69 · 2014-11-12T19:55:21+00:00

Who do you think Kansas should hire as their new football coach? Also, loved the intro at late night last year

KillinLikeOj · 2014-11-12T19:42:33+00:00

How does it feel to be the "Top Dog" on NFL game day picks?

Kaveman44 · 2014-11-12T19:46:26+00:00

I'm a Royals fan that was 6 months old when the Royals won the WS.

Would Alex Gordon have scored? Will the Royals make it back to the Fall Classic in 2015?

Also, thank you GREATLY for your service!

NoiseAndHaste · 2014-11-12T19:46:34+00:00

Rob,

I wanted to say Happy Birthday and Happy Veteran's Day.

Semper Fidelis and all that, brother.

Also, what's your next project?

peens_peens · 2014-11-12T19:46:43+00:00

Hi Rob. What plane would you want to pilot the most?

eztarget896 · 2014-11-12T19:53:00+00:00

Loved you in The Other Guys, hilarious movie. What was your favorite segment that you did on the Daily Show?

SteveH8231 · 2014-11-12T19:55:44+00:00

What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked/requested of you?

treeburner57 · 2014-11-12T20:05:28+00:00

Rob, I love watching you on Fox during the Sunday pre game show! Two questions. What's it like working with those guys? And who is your upset pick this week?

ben5647 · 2014-11-12T19:33:51+00:00

What was it like working with Damon Wayans, Jr., Jake Johnson, and Nina Dorbev in Let's Be Cops?

TyBerns · 2014-11-12T19:35:45+00:00

hey Rob!

I love your 'Riggles Picks' segment on NFL on FOX! Two questions:

1) Why did you guys go from the two major picks and upset/wildcard just to lock and upset picks?

2) Game your most looking forward to on Thanksgiving?

watchoutfor2nd · 2014-11-12T19:39:00+00:00

Since we know you're a Kansas City Royals fan and of all Royals fans you would have the best access to do this, can you punch Rob Lowe in the face?

brucedonnovan · 2014-11-12T19:42:50+00:00

Your stuff on the daily show is hilarious. What was the writing process like for your segments? Did you write your own stories and pitch your own ideas, or was it more of a collaborative effort? How did they determine who got what stories?

Thanks for doing this AMA.

sum_ting_hong · 2014-11-12T19:44:27+00:00

What was it like to work on The Daily Show?

LordFluffy · 2014-11-12T19:44:31+00:00

Loved you in "The Goods-Live Hard, Sell Hard".

How was that movie as an actor?
How do you feel about how influential "The Daily Show" has grown as a source of news and commentary?

tkasper · 2014-11-12T19:46:17+00:00

Which movie did you have the most fun making?

P.s. Your Comedy Central special and that paintball movie you were in are some of my favorites by you!

ConradFerguson · 2014-11-12T19:47:11+00:00

What was it like to shoot bin Laden?

centex · 2014-11-12T19:47:33+00:00

Favorite person to work with from the Daily Show? Favorite book?

Hexogram · 2014-11-12T19:47:50+00:00

You're at your favorite bar. What bar is it, & what do you order?

dont_touch_mybhole · 2014-11-12T19:48:15+00:00

How did you ask your high school date to the senior prom?

premolight · 2014-11-12T19:48:16+00:00

Whats john stewart like and did you enjoy working for the daily show?

also, Chicken, beef or pork and why?

seis_cuerdas · 2014-11-12T19:31:24+00:00

What's the most embarrassing thing that you can tell us about Jon Stewart?

MonarchStarcrack · 2014-11-12T19:33:52+00:00

Hi Rob, I was sad when you left The Daily Show. My question is, was it hard leaving the show?

LangyLangLang · 2014-11-12T19:35:50+00:00

Rob i'm just curious. Which roles allow you to improvise the most? It felt as if you were improvising off your entire script in The Goods (which I believe is one of the most underrated contemporary comedies in the biz)and I was laughing my ass off.

Elmer701 · 2014-11-12T19:41:07+00:00

Hey Rob! I am a lifelong KC fan. My dad always kept the Royals dream alive for his kids. Just wanted to say thank you for being such an awesome fan for the Chiefs and Royals! How did it feel being at those games in the Series this year?!

joeyoungblood · 2014-11-12T19:52:30+00:00

Fellow KU, Chiefs Fan and Royals fan. Growing up in the middle of nowhere (Emporia) I wanted to be an actor super bad. My family, friends, pastor, brother, and pretty much everyone said it would never work. But I look at you and think I screwed up quitting on my dream. My question is, at 34 is it too late to try?

Also, thanks for being so kick ass.

joejustperusing · 2014-11-12T20:22:49+00:00

Hey! Kansas native here! I'm a huge fan of yours. What's been your favorite role (not bread role, but on that note, what IS your favorite bread role as well)?

mbuckman · 2014-11-12T20:23:02+00:00

What is it like to play with some of the legends of baseball in those legend softball games? Also is Jennie Finch as hot in person as on TV?

IAmFern · 2014-11-12T20:23:13+00:00

Are you the funniest person in your family? Where do you think your humor stems from, both in terms of family and influences?

ImCreeptastic · 2014-11-12T20:23:32+00:00

Hi Rob, big fan, question: What drew you to comedy? I mean, going from the Marines to show biz are quite opposite each other.

TitsAlmighty · 2014-11-12T20:23:38+00:00

Senor Riggle, you play a lot of characters who are kind of dickheads. Are you actually a dickhead, or just skilled at pretending to be one? I don't think you're a dickhead. I hope you aren't.

GuyWhatAxesQuestions · 2014-11-12T20:23:40+00:00

I miss you on TDS and enjoyed either seeing or hallucinating you dropping in there recently. Once you leave the show, is there an open-door policy about dropping in for a bit if you're in NY? Or do they have to call you? Because they shouldn't have to call you, they should just do the show live and give you your own secret door onto the set. IMHO.

LOL_EBOLA · 2014-11-12T20:23:55+00:00

Rob Riggle, you're just so sexy dude.

Could you start doing more scenes without a shirt on? Thanks in advance...

PS - this was great.

annaellizabeth · 2014-11-12T20:25:07+00:00

Rob Riggle, you are my favorite! You are in EVERYTHING! What TV show has been your favorite to guest star on?

waynomack · 2014-11-12T20:26:05+00:00

Alas, I get to ask Rob Riggle a question! Ill start off with a POW! What was your fathers occupation? Did he happen to be a part of a secret mission in vietnam? The one that the movie Air America was based off of, with Mel Gibson.

lilkhobs · 2014-11-12T20:27:26+00:00

Who has been the hardest actor/actress to work with? How about the easiest?

Hockeyboy1234 · 2014-11-12T20:28:26+00:00

How fun was it to shoot the Let's Be Cops movie?

adhd_t · 2014-11-12T20:28:42+00:00

I have 3 major questions and they're all very important: 1) My brother reecently moved to KC and I am planning to visit him soon. Since you're a native, I was wondering which restaurant to go for BBQ in KC? (or you can name your top 3, because it's so difficult to choose) 2) Do you have any good stories from your college days? I assume The Border War game days were amazing at that time. 3) This one has been bothering me for a while... Which of these is truly better spending your whole life smoking menthol cigarettes and eating Kobe Beef or jerkin' off in a f*ckin' bathroom somewhere??? P. S. - The recent Rob O'Neill news made me remember your FOD video, and it made my day. Can't wait to see Dumb and Dumber To!

Snakehelmet · 2014-11-12T20:29:09+00:00

Hey Rob, any fun stories of working with Rob Huebel and/or Paul Scheer? The three of you seem like a perfect improv team.

timewaitsforsome · 2014-11-12T20:30:46+00:00

gob's program y/n?

SkunkMonkey12 · 2014-11-12T20:30:57+00:00

Bleacher Report lists Paul Rudd as the top celebrity Chiefs fan, another lists Brad Pitt (but that's only because he's from Mo. and I doubt he even understands football) I've always used use as my example. Do you think you have what it takes to be the celebrity face of Chiefs Kingdom? Pow.

lukistke · 2014-11-12T20:31:15+00:00

I dont know what it is about your face, but it just looks like Patrick Warburton. Is there anything you can do to fix that?

travisburnsred · 2014-11-12T20:31:49+00:00

Will the designated driver sketch ever be released in full anywhere? Donut mind if I do!!!!

52nick · 2014-11-12T20:32:35+00:00

Hey Rob! I've been a fan of your work for a while and became an even bigger fan when I found out you were a fellow Belleau Woodsman! What are some of your favorite memories from the Corps.? Semper Fi!

gamophyte · 2014-11-12T20:33:59+00:00

Not sure if this AMA is still happening, but, given your diverse background with life, how are usually draw to comedic rolls?

oumaxwell · 2014-11-12T20:34:47+00:00

Happy for your Royals....my Royals too! Question: Would you consider playing AMarine in a feature film...our would it be too close to home?

Josiah_Bartlet · 2014-11-12T20:35:24+00:00

Big fan, Rob! Any chance you reprise your role as the one true Schmidt? The set of New Girl has to be hilarious...any good stories from it?

joejustperusing · 2014-11-12T20:36:54+00:00

What did you do for Veterans Day?

BewareTheMomeRaths · 2014-11-12T20:37:26+00:00

Hey, Rob! What was the hardest scene you've ever done as far as keeping a straight face?

nickUHitus · 2014-11-12T20:43:16+00:00
