Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The last time we saw Rick Rosner, the then-Denver bouncer/stripper who’d beaten all comers on an Omni IQ test, he was on the cover of Westword wearing roller skates, a loincloth and the question: “Is this the smartest man in America?”
Two decades later, Rosner, now a TV writer, is the star of a new Dominos ad that spells his name Rossner, bills him as “The World’s Smartest Man,” and puts him in a suit and tie — to fight the evils of Subway.
But it’s definitely Rosner. Where’s Jared when you need him?
