If it's not one thing, it's your mother: Julia Sweeney at TEDxMidwest

Saturday Night Live alum and veteran TED Speaker, Julia Sweeney reveals another of her many talents, to a very enthusiastic and throughly entertained audience, as she offers her own humorous rendition of a dramatic reading of excerpts from her latest book.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
