Summary
Past "Daily Show" correspondent and “CBS News Sunday Morning” contributor Mo Rocca has always loved obituaries and each episode of his podcast "Mobituaries" covers his favorite dearly departed people and things. In this episode, Mo explores the phenomenon of public figures who share the same death day, and who gets top billing and why, with CNN anchor and "60 Minutes" correspondent Anderson Cooper. You’ll hear about the case of one person’s death getting “buried” by the death of somebody else. There’s also the eerie coincidence of two Founding Fathers dying on the same exact day — July 4th, no less. And Mo looks at some of the oddest “death fellows” in recent history. For more Mo Rocca, listen to his podcast "Mobituaries" — each episode covers people and things that are no longer with us but deserve their overdue moment in the spotlight.
