Preggers

Rod first appears in the episode Preggers as an anchor at the news station Sue works at. Later, in the Mash-Up episode, he flirts with her and asks her on a date. Sue accepts, putting her in the mood to make amends with her adversary, Will Schuester. Rod asks her to a Swingers dancing contest, so Sue takes dancing lessons from Will. One night, when Sue goes to show Rod her costume for the contest, she catches Rod cheating on her with Andrea, his co-anchor, who says she went with him last year to the contest. Sue refuses to go and storms off.

Rod appears in other episodes involving Sue's Corner and the news station but doesn't have a big part until Sectionals.

Sectionals

In Sectionals, Rod is a judge for the show choir sectionals. He pronounces the Haverbrook School "Haverhurst", opining the Jane Addams glee club had it "going on in all the right places". Rod flirts with fellow judge, Candace Dystra, and is later seen asking for her email address. Grace Hitchens, the Jane Addams director, tries to tell Rod that they cheated, but he stops her, telling her that the judges have already made their decision - McKinley wins in the end.

Journey

In Journey, he is once again a judge at Regionals. He voted Vocal Adrenaline 1st, Aural Intensity 2nd and New Directions 3rd. He is seen shaking Will's hand as he gave them a small trophy and he gave them a thumbs up.

Furt

In Season Two, much to the anger and humiliation of Sue, Rod announces his engagement to Andrea claiming that it will be an open marriage and that he proposed to her in a hot tub.

Original Song

In the episode Original Song, Rod serves as a judge at the 2011 Midwest Regional Championship, alongside Sr. Mary Constance and Tammy Jean Albertson. He convinces the other judges that New Directions should win the competition because of their "fresh sound."

Naked

He appears in the beginning of the episode, when he and Andrea announce that The Warblers cheated at Sectionals. When Andrea gets angry and storms out of the studio, he just sits there stunned. Later, when Andrea's out of the studio he suddenly gets happy and says that it looks like someone's getting a younger, hotter co-anchor and continues presenting the news.

The End of Twerk

He appears briefly before Sue's Corner, describing yet another of his typical nonsensical news.

Opening Night

Rod makes again a brief appearance during the Sue's Corner segment, quietly listening to her while she criticizes New York.

He comes back by the end of the episode, looking confused as Sue takes back her words.

The Rise and Fall of Sue Sylvester

He is interviewed by Geraldo Rivera on Sue Sylvester, since he is one of her alleged lovers. He denies it, though, claiming that she just misterpretted "a little grab-ass" from him.

We Built This Glee Club
