Mo Rocca Covers The Conventions On Leno

The Democratic and Republican National Conventions are big news right now and NBC’s The Tonight Show With Jay Leno is all set to stay on top of things. The show has brought in an expert to take over as correspondent at the Conventions. Comedian Mo Rocca has been signed on to appear on Leno’s show this week while the Democratic Convention is taking place in Denver and then again when the Republican National Convention takes place from September first through the fourth in Minneapolis.

Rocca has been a correspondent for The Tonight Show in previous political events and many will probably remember him from his days on The Daily Show or the various VH1 shows he’s appeared in.
