Hello everyone, it is good to be back. Tonight marks the beginning of the end for the Jon Stewart era of The Daily Show with the final 3 weeks of shows.
Tonight's guest on The Daily Show is Paul Rudd and on The Nightly Show, panelists Kerry Coddett, Sunny Hostin, and Mike Yard discuss Bill Cosby.
Paul Rudd is an actor, comedian, writer, and producer. He has primarily appeared in comedies, and is known for his roles in the films Clueless (1995), Wet Hot American Summer (2001), Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004), The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005), Knocked Up (2007), Role Models (2008), I Love You, Man (2009), This Is 40 (2012), and Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013). Tonight he is on to promote his latest movie Ant-Man
Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.
In Marvel's latest movie, Ant-Man, the lead character (played by buffet-lover Paul Rudd) gets a job at fellow hyphenated name ice cream chain Baskin-Robbins after leaving prison. So why did the filmmakers pick Baskin-Robbins in particular? Director Peyton Reed tells USA Today that initially they wanted Ant-Man to work at Chipotle. However, Chipotle "didn't particularly like the context in which they were using their brand."I will probably see this on DVD. Hayley Atwell reprises her role as Peggy Carter from both the other associated movies and the TV series, and I really enjoyed the show Peggy Carter.The filmmakers considered using a fake Mexican chain called "Chiplotnicks" but decided it wouldn't be as effective. They contemplated using Jamba Juice, too, but eventually landed on Baskin-Robbins because "who doesn't like Baskin-Robbins?" Reed adds that the ice cream shop's bright pastel interior ended up providing a "funny contrast" to the movie's prison scenes and the character's dark criminal past.
