Rob Riggle
Actor / Comedian
Lights, camera, start laughing!
Hollywood comedian and actor Rob Riggle takes the stage for ECKC to talk about the future of movies and entertainment. The pandemic changed Hollywood forever. Cable gave way to cord cutters, and blockbusters no longer require the big screen. Now that movie theaters stepped back from the leading role in entertainment, the Kansas City native will give ECKC the inside details on how studios will roll out new releases and meet the demands of an at-home digital world.
There's so much great talent in this town and it just keeps growing.
