Here’s today’s Mo Rocca video. We shot this Wednesday.

Here’s a higher-res version.
This required me finding “two Latino guys.” It’s embarrassing to ask your friends “can you guys recommend any Latino guys?” I knew the improv community was dominated by white boys, but this was hilariously tough. I had conversations like this: “Well, so-and-so is Latino-ish” and I’d say “No, they need to be no-doubt-about-it Latino.” Oh, and they need to not mind singing and performing a song parody tomorrow morning for no money! We ended up going with two guys who work in a department called AOL Latino — and they did great!
The shoot was a blast. Our light and camera guys did great and Mo’s shirt is a star all on its own.

(Linda, I so admire your passion!)
We really loved it, and the Smithsonian needs to find a place for that shirt.
No wonder Mo touts your work!
But what really cracks me up is the thought of you hustling up some ethnic types…that just kills me……

Those guys did do a good job! Their harmonizing needs a bit of work, however.
