He's also the host of the CBS Saturday morning series "The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation."
For "CBS News Sunday Morning," Rocca has reported on a diverse range of issues, from gerrymandering to the Vatican, for which he interviewed Pope Francis.

He won a primetime Emmy as a writer for the 64th Annual Tony Awards in 2010, and he earned Daytime Emmy Awards for his work on "CBS Sunday Morning" and "The Henry Ford's Innvoation Nation."
