...comedians are performing for free, and JetBlue has donated plane tickets for their travel. Two of the comedians, Judah Friedlander and Modi, performed in last year’s show. Friedlander has appeared on Curb Your Enthusiasm and in the movie Zoolander, and Modi has been on the Howard Stern Show, Comedy Central, The Sopranos, and Last Comic Standing. The other four comedians performing are Paul Mecurio, Emmy Award-winning writer for the Daily Show with Jon Stewart; Tom Shillue from Late Night with Conan O’Brien and Comedy Central Presents ‘Tom Shillue?...
...Since 1960, every elected President has won the Buckeye state, and in the history of the U.S. no Republican candidate has ever taken the White House without winning Ohio.
