Shooting the Roq
It was uncomfortable to watch myself attempt to play basketball, even if the footage was from 18 years ago. I was so bad that the audience chanted my name every time I touched the ball as if it would somehow … Continue reading

Rory Albanese is the former executive producer of The Daily Show. He says he left the show not because the grass would be greener elsewhere, but because he was ready to go out on his own and try tending to a … Continue reading
