Maureen believes there are important insights to be culled from comedians, which is why she tailors her TEDx Talk, “The Business of Fun: Lessons Learned from Performing in South Africa,” to companies and organizations looking for a thought-provoking and entertaining talk about diversity, equity and inclusion in our work, lives and culture. Maureen pulls from her experiences performing in Johannesburg to bring a powerful message that had 600 people on their feet when first presented at Monmouth University in New Jersey. As a seasoned broadcaster, Maureen created and hosted Bloomberg Television and Radio’s award-winning entertainment programming, where her most memorable moments were interviewing Joan Rivers and George Carlin. Her astute observations and shoot-from-the-hip interviewing style earned her the title of “Best Female Commentator” by the Newswomen’s Club of New York. Maureen has been an on-air personality on KGO Radio in San Francisco and a regular guest host on WABC Radio in New York City. At PBS, she produced documentaries that garnered her two Cable Ace Awards. She currently hosts Hangin’ with Langan, a popular weekly podcast where she interviews comics to activists and academics to alcoholics.
