Ed Helms (born January 24, 1974 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an actor and comedian most notable for his work as a correspondent on Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Helms was born in Atlanta, Georgia, graduating from The Westminster Schools in 1992 before attending Oberlin College in Ohio. He has had roles in shows like Tanner on Tanner and various Comedy Central specials, as well as movies like Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story (alongside his fellow TDS correspondent Rob Corddry). He has also made guest appearances in a number of television shows, including Arrested Development and Cheap Seats. He also voices "Angel", a character on Cartoon Network's Weighty Decisions series (again alongside Corddry), and has done prolific commercial voiceover work, including campaigns for Burger King, Doritos, and Advair asthma medication.

In his tenure on The Daily Show, Helms has contributed field reports in addition to hosting various sections of the show, such as "Digital Watch", "Ad Nauseum," and "Mark Your Calendar." He has also contributed to the "This Week in God" segment.

He occasionally narrates the "Prescott Group educational films" on The Colbert Report.

On April 29, 2006 Helms attended the Washington Correspondents Dinner as the guest of The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.

In late July 2006, NBC announced that Helms would join the cast of The Office, a show in which former Daily Show correspondent Steve Carell also stars, in a recurring role as Jim Halpert's smarmy colleague, Andy Bernard, at Dunder-Mifflin's Stamford branch for at least ten episodes of the third season.[1]
