Compiled by DAVE ITZKOFF

Tongue-tied politicians and would-be plumbers aren’t the only ones to have their visibility raised by “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart”: Rob Riggle, left, the burly on-air correspondent for the Comedy Central news satire, has signed a deal to develop his own sitcom for CBS, Variety reported. Mr. Riggle, 38, a member of the Marine Corps Reserve who was stationed in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa, joined “The Daily Show” in 2006 after a brief stint on “Saturday Night Live.” He becomes the latest member of the “Daily Show” ensemble to graduate to headliner status. Last week the correspondents Samantha Bee and Jason Jones (who are husband and wife) announced that they would be developing their own CBS sitcom about a celebrity chef, to be played by Mr. Jones.
