As if we didn't already know that Rob Corddry was hilarious from his appearances on The Daily Show and in a slew of movies, Adult Swim's Childrens Hospital has made him one of our favorite funnymen.
We attended the Childrens Hospital panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2011, where we saw a never-before-screened episode of the show and heard from Corddry and the rest of the cast. Here's what we saw:
The panel opened with an episode of the show, "Bar Mitzvah," referencing both the occasion at which a batch of kids got sick from bad salmon and the ritual that Ken Marino's Dr. Glenn Richie never had. The episode also featured Stephen Root and, even more exciting, a mini Party Down reunion! The panel included star, creator and self-proclaimed "visionary" Rob Corddry, Malin Akerman (whom Corddry hugged for way too long), Lake Bell, Erinn Hayes, Megan Mullally, "the most beautiful woman of them all,...

Carmen La Via Fifi Oscard Agency, New YorkI am now a literary agent but previously worked as an actors agent at William Morris and here at Fifi Oscard. My clients included William Shatner, Ted Knight, Debbie Allen, Mary Steenburgen, and Pam Dawber. Perhaps the biggest mistake I ever made was turning down Danny DeVito. This was before "Taxi," and he was an unknown.He came to my attention through a client and mutual friend, actor-producer Joe Stern, who was familiar with Danny's work at the Public Theater. He felt he was someone I should meet, and I did. I liked Danny, but frankly, I didn't know what I'd do with him. He was not a leading man, and I felt his height was a problem. Not long after that, he was cast in "Taxi" and became a phenomenon. My judgment was not based on his acting abilities, since I had never seen him act.

Tonight, Henry Winkler joins USA’s Royal Pains (USA, 10 p.m. Et) as Eddie R. Lawson, the errant father of Hank (Mark Feuerstein) and Evan (Paulo Costanzo).

(The webisodes will air first, then the original episodes shot for TV that feature Winkler as the new hospital administrator.)
