Mo Rocca, correspondent for Comedy Central's Peabody Award-winning The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and NBC's Today Show, is best known for his wacky, tongue-in-cheek news reports. At the podium, Rocca delivers his uniquely informed commentary on current news events and the "mainstream media," and takes audiences behind the scenes of America's most popular news satire program with never-before-seen clips from The Daily Show and his other television appearances.
Rocca is the host and co-executive producer of Smoking Gun TV, a series of Court TV specials based on the popular website that unearths and posts entertaining, scandalous, and bizarre documents. The television show brings to life the incriminating and outrageous celebrity-related material found on the site. "Everything I know about law and order I learned on The Smoking Gun website," says Rocca. "Hosting the show is my way of giving something back."
Rocca is a regular panelist on NPR's Wait, Wait, Don?t Tell Me, and a frequent commentator for CNN, Headline News and the Fox News Channel. In addition, he has been seen on VH1's I Love the 80s, I Love the 70s, and I Love the 80s Strikes Back.
He holds a B.A. from Harvard University and resides in New York City.
