Why did you miss Rock Center last night?

rock-center-with-brian-williamsDid you happen to miss last night’s (the December 19th) episode of Rock Center with Brian Williams?

If so, you missed a piece filed by correspondent Harry Smith, (“Laughing Matter: Comedy from Dean Obeidallah“), complete with an albeit brief national television appearance by Birmingham’s own Christopher Davis and the stage at downtown’s Urban Standard. By the way, we’re talking about the comedian Christopher Davis of View of the City and Extemporaneous Theatre Company fame and not the Woodlawn High School football standout.

Chris served as the emcee for the Muslim comedy troupe’s free performance in Birmingham back in mid-August as part of their The Muslims Are Coming tour that took them through the South and Midwest sections of the country.

The tour also doubled as the basis of a road movie that they’re currently back in New York working on as fast as possible. That big Rock Center logo can take you to the video (as will this link since we couldn’t embed it on the site – at least, not easily…).
