Humorist, journalist, and actor Mo Rocca received the 2026 LABF Insight Award, given annually by the Library of American Broadcasting Foundation, in partnership with the National Association of Broadcasters, during the recent NAB Show in Las Vegas.
An award-winning correspondent for CBS Sunday Morning since 2011, Rocca is known for blending journalism, history, and humor across a wide range of subjects. He is also the creator and host of the podcast Mobituaries, a bestselling author, and a frequent panelist on Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!. Earlier in his career, he was a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Rocca received the award on the Main Stage as part of the “We Are Broadcasters” program. LABF Co-Chairs Deborah Parenti and Dave “Chachi” Denes made the presentation, saying, “His storytelling continues to inform, engage, and inspire audiences everywhere.”
Now in its fifth year, the Insight Award recognizes individuals whose work enhances the public’s understanding of the role and evolution of media through impactful storytelling.
The NAB Show is the premier global event for media, entertainment, and technology, bringing together industry leaders from around the world - making it a fitting stage to honor Rocca’s contributions to modern storytelling and media.
