Mo Rocca

BIOGRAPHy

This man knows what’s going on. Mo Rocca is currently a commentator on both CBS Sunday Morning and NPR’s All Things Considered. Actor and satirist Mo Rocca – he of the horn-rimmed glasses and snide nasal observations – first made his mark as a correspondent for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. One of the first correspondents to stay true to his Daily Show roots even after leaving the show, the comic became a popular commentator, host, intrepid faux-news reporter and writer for a host of shows and media. Unlike fellow alum Steve Carell, who transitioned into a pure comic actor, Rocca stayed true to the tongue-in-cheek persona he had cultivated on The Daily Show, playing a reporter in Bewitched (2005) and Dr. Francis H. Flenderman PhD in 2006’s First Time Caller. Rocca made himself into a cottage industry, appearing as a regular on more than half a dozen VH1 nostalgia shows, including I Love the 70s (2003), I Love the 80s (2002) and I Love the 90s (2004), as well as a regular snarky commentator on the weekly series, Best Week Ever (2004- ). He indulged both the faux and the news in his faux-news background, serving as a correspondent and commentator for news shows like Larry King Live most particularly with his coverage of the 2004 Democratic and Republican National Convention and humorous programs like The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Rocca also found time to write a satirical “tell-all entitled All the President’s Pets in 2004. More recently, in addition to his work on CBS Sunday Morning, Rocca hosts the weekly The Henry Ford’s Innovation Nation program. Mo Rocca is someone to listen to – in person. He covers the news like no one else. No one.
