David Alan Grier Wants You To 'Barack Like Me'

Actor/comedian David Alan Grier stopped by the studio to talk about his new book Barack Like Me: The Chocolate Covered Truth.

"From growing up in Detroit, where he marched as a ten-year-old with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., to attending the inauguration of President Barack Obama, where he narrowly avoided the Purple Tunnel of Doom but still saw nothing, David Alan Grier examines how he -- and America -- have changed for the better and the funnier," says publisher Simon & Schuster.

Grier, a Michigan native, got his big break when he landed a role on the hit 1990s sketch comedy series In Living Color. His co-stars included Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Lopez. He is currently the host of Chocolate News, one of Comedy Central's satirical news and sketch comedy program.

Barack Like Me: The Chocolate Covered Truth is available in stores today. You can meet Grier in person tonight at 7pm at the Barnes & Noble on Warren Street. For more information, visit simonandschuster.com.
