BRUNSWICK – Satirist Mo Rocca, a former correspondent for Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” will perform at Bowdoin College at 8 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 11, in Morrell Gymnasium.

Rocca is known for his wacky, tongue-in-cheek news reports and commentary. On “The Daily Show” he took audiences behind the scenes of America’s most popular news satire program and profiled eccentrics, like a man so obsessed with first ladies that he dressed up as Florence Harding. “Indecision 2000,” the show’s coverage of the 2000 presidential race, earned a Peabody Award.

Rocca is a regular on VH1’s “Best Week Ever” pop culture roundup and on the series “I Love the ’70s,” “I Love the ’80s” and “I Love the ’90s.” He also hosts Bravo’s “Things I Hate About You,” and is a contributor to “The Today Show” and National Public Radio’s “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me!” His upcoming book is called “All the President’s Pets.”

Rocca is former president and writer of Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding theatricals. He began his TV career as a writer and producer for the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning PBS children’s series “Wishbone.”

Tickets for the Bowdoin show are $15 and are available at the David Saul Smith Union information desk on the Bowdoin campus, 725-3375.
