Ed Helms has also contributed to the “This Week in God” segment. His 2005 segment “Battle of the Bulge”, which focused on the wearing of Speedo bathing suits on the beaches of Cape May, New Jersey, and his “Mass.

In late July 2006, NBC announced that Helms was added to the cast of the mockumentary The Office, alongside fellow The Daily Show correspondent Steve Carell, in a recurring role as Andy Bernard, a nostalgic Cornell graduate who is obsessed with a cappella music.

Helms was a series regular starting with the 3rd season. “He had so much in common with this character we wanted to create,” recalled Paul Lieberstein, a writer for the show who also plays Toby Flenderson, the human resources representative at the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin.

“I can’t remember when they started merging.” Helms returned to The Daily Show on December 5, 2006, stating he had been gone because he was “undercover at a paper company in Scranton”, an allusion to his stint on The Office.

Ed Helms Vacation

Ed Helms portrays Rusty Griswold in the 2015 hit comedy. The film stars Ed Helms, Christina Applegate, Skyler Gisondo, Steele Stebbins, Leslie Mann, Chris Hemsworth, Beverly D’Angelo, and Chevy Chase. It is the fifth installment of the Vacation film series, serving as a soft reboot.

Rusty Griswold is now an adult working as a pilot for a low budget regional airline called Econo-Air and shares a stale relationship with his wife Debbie and their two children, their shy and awkward 14-year-old son James, and their intimidating 12-year-old son Kevin.

The gloating from his friends Jack and Nancy Peterson about a family trip they had in Paris doesn’t help his situation. He desires to relive the fun of his family vacations and holiday gatherings from his childhood.

These memories prompt him to abandon his family’s annual trip to their cabin in Cheboygan, Michigan and instead drive cross country to Walley World, just like he did with his parents and sister. For the trip, Rusty rents a Tartan Prancer, an ugly, over-complicated Albanian SUV.

Along the way, the Griswolds take many detours. The first is Memphis, where it’s revealed that the otherwise mild-mannered Debbie was an extremely promiscuous Tri Pi sorority sister in college nicknamed ‘Debbie Do Anything’ even when they meet a sorority member named Heather.

To prove that she was the rebellious student, Debbie soon runs an obstacle course whilst drunk and fails miserably. While staying at a motel, James meets Adena, a girl his age that he saw while driving on the highway, but she is scared away by Rusty’s failed attempts to be a “wingman”.

In Arkansas, they are led to a supposedly hidden hot spring by a “helpful” local, eventually realizing that it’s a sewage dump. They return to their SUV, only to see it’s been broken into, their luggage and cash stolen and then sprayed with graffiti.

They stop in Texas to get help from Rusty’s sister Audrey and her husband Stone. Rusty begins to suspect problems in his relationship with Debbie due to her seeming acceptance of Stone’s obviously outward sexual advances, but she rebuffs his suspicions. One night, Stone walks in on the couple and makes a show of his attractive body and oversized genitalia.

Spending the following night at an Arizona campsite, Rusty and Debbie sneak away to attempt to have sex at the Four Corners Monument, where officers from all four states confront the couple and each other, allowing them to escape.

James finally asserts himself against Kevin with encouragement from Adena, who they encounter again. The next morning, after nearly getting killed by a suicidal Grand Canyon rafting guide, the SUV runs out of gas in the middle of the desert.

Rusty’s misunderstanding of the key fob causes it to explode, leading Rusty to think about the disastrous trip and walk off dispirited and alone. After being tracked down by a seemingly unstable truck driver, who they think has been stalking them throughout the trip.

He instead returns Debbie’s missing wedding ring and gives them a lift to San Francisco, where they spend the night at a bed and breakfast run by Rusty’s parents Clark and Ellen. They intend to fly home the next day, but Rusty and Debbie confront each other about their stale marriage and decide to start over again.

With some encouragement from Clark the next morning, Rusty borrows his father’s Wagon Queen Family Truckster and drives Debbie and the boys to Walley World to ride their newest roller coaster, Velociraptor.

After spending the entire day waiting in line, they are cut off by Ethan, a rival of Rusty’s, and his family before the announcement of the park’s closing. A fight breaks out, which the Griswolds win, forcing the other family to flee. The Griswolds finally board the ride, but it stalls halfway up a loop, and they are rescued after several hours.

Rusty uses his airline connections to book a vacation in Paris alone with Debbie, while sending the boys home where the Petersons will look after them. On the plane to Paris, they are seated in jump seats next to a lavatory. Exasperated, Debbie learns that it will be a 12-hour flight.
