Rob Corddry: Sitcom Star

Not that it's not a good gig, but "The Daily Show" has become quite the springboard to bigger things beyond the meager payment that I can only guess is standard at Comedy Central.

Following in the footsteps of some of his former coworkers, the Hollywood Reporter says that Rob Corddry has signed a deal with Fox to star in "Becoming Glen."

The show focuses on a successful guy in his 40s, who flashes back to 1994 to his slacker roots. Seth MacFarlane ("Family Guy") is one of the people developing the show.

About a week ago, Rob's brother and Daily Show cast mate, Nathan Corddry, signed on for the NBC drama, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip."
