Mo Rocca

Mo Rocca (born January 28, 1969) is best known as a correspondent for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He was also a contributor to KUOW's "Rewind" (cancelled July 10, 2004) and (occasionally) NPR's Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!. Mo Rocca was also interviewed on VH1's decade shows: I Love the 80s, I Love the 70s, I Love the 80s Strikes Back, and I Love the 90s. The series officially states his occupation as "media gadfly." He also is the host of "Things I Hate about You" on Bravo. Rocca was also the president of Harvard's Hasty Pudding comedy group.

Rocca was an on-the-floor correspondent for Larry King on CNN, at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Though occasionally making straight insights and political comments, Rocca's irrelevant and irreverant statements were a humorous contrast to King's more staid politician and pundit guests. Rocca characterized Teresa Heinz Kerry as the "Siren of the Serengeti", and expressed affinity with the statement by keynote speaker, Barack Obama, about the pains of growing up as a skinny boy with a funny name. Rocca spent a good deal of his time with the Convention delegates from American Samoa. He returned as a correspondent for the 2004 Republican National Convention.
