Ari Shapiro was profiled on CBS Sunday Morning this weekend to discuss how his work in jouralism and cabaret intertwine.

"Whether I am singing to a live audience of thousands or broadcasting on the radio to somebody sitting alone in their driveway, I wanna give somebody a reason to keep listening," Shapiro said.

Shaprio has a nightclub act with Tony winner Alan Cumming, called "Och & Oy." Cumming was also interviewed for the segment, discussing working with Shapiro.

"He's so full of zest for life. He's just so interested and fascinated by things and is a geek," Cumming shared. "So I think whatever he does will be truly what he wants to do."
