You may know him from the Daily Show with Jon Stewart or from NPR’s quiz show Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. But Mo Rocca has had an incredibly varied career. He’ll talk about that and more when he takes the state at Birmingham’s Alys Stephens Center Friday night. He may even talk about his early start in musical theatre…
(note: this interview was recorded Thanksgiving week)
Tickets are still available for Friday night’s show. Click here for details.
