Daily Show

Did he work at the daily show at some point? This article isn't well written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.43.91 (talk) 18:42, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Descent

Is he columbian or italian?

He is both. He is Italian on his father's side and Columbian on his mother's.

Could you kindly provide an article or something that says he is Italian?

Obviously not. 24.17.83.230 (talk) 22:06, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, doesn't he live in Connecticut? SergioGeorgini (talk) 04:11, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, he is single. Chrissypan 06:13, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Chrissypan[reply]

When did he come out?

I see he is now tagged in several LGBT catagories.Ttenchantr (talk) 07:16, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He came in out in 2011 over a podcast according to the Advocate (a reliable print and online magazine source). Read the article here: http://www.advocate.com/politics/media/2011/07/28/daily-shows-mo-rocca-comes-out.

Tight Pants

I deleted the tight pants part since mo rocca confirmed that he had no idea what it was refrencing on Tom Green Live.

Good thinking. Last time I spoke to him I asked him about it and he said the same thing! I wonder where the contributer got that from? Chrissypan 05:10, 2 August 2007 (UTC)Chrissypan[reply]

If you guys are personal friends with him, you should know that per WP:RS you need to stick to reliable sources even for stuff that you know personally to be true. Wellspring (talk) 15:12, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is he related to Pee Wee Herman? If not, why the same clothes and voice? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:651A:2E80:3934:D558:EDE8:E1E2 (talk) 23:11, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I removed biased and un sourced statements.

I removed the following- "During his support of AOL's NEWS BLOGGERS, Rocca endeared himself to the hearts and minds of many average Americans who not only appreciated his humor, but as well admired his honesty and sense of inclusion. The result of this good work was a devoted fan base (now officially known as the Roccats), who perform public and international service which reflects the insipiration of Rocca's seminal advice, extant throughout his blogging: Practice love and sacrifice."

1)-Just look at the way its worded- "Rocca endeared himself to the hearts and minds of many average Americans who not only appreciated his humor,but as well admired his honesty and sense of inclusion." This sounds very biased,(and corny-hearts and minds) How do we kmow the bloggers were "average Americans"? What is a "average" American? How do we know the Bloggers "admired his honesty and sense of inclusion"?

2) The result of this "good" work. Who says its good?

3) "Devoted" fan base? "Who perform public and international service which reflects the insipiration of Rocca's seminal advice." How do we know the "devoted" fan base perform public and international service? Do they log this work they do? I am assuming the spelling should be inspiration.

4)"extant throughout his blogging: Practice love and sacrifice." Does his blogging really say "Practice love and sacrifice"?

All of this is biased,sounds like it was written by a fan and it is all unsourced.--72.154.193.191 (talk) 15:36, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

I think Start class is appropriate, the article needs work to be assessed higher. Anyone can relist this article if has been improved. Hekerui (talk) 11:22, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ny Grandmother - Ok - whose grandmother and where the concept came from!

Some years ago I produced a TV Cooking Show Pilot called “Come to My House.” The program featured a young woman who would visit the kitchens of the “grandparents” to learn not only their culinary secrets but their personal stories in coming to America. I submitted this pilot to Food Network, Scripps and others. All of them rejected the idea. Then, what do we find on TV, the very same concept now hosted by Mo Rocca and called, “My Grandmother’s Ravioli.” Where did Food Network get this concept? Here is the original pilot on the website created several years ago. What conclusions would you draw? go to : www.cometomyhouse.tv — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tmorinelli (talk • contribs) 03:17, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
