Elon alumnus Reno Collier has made a name for himself by making people laugh at the Atlanta-based Punchline Comedy Club, on Comedy Central, and in collaboration with Larry the Cable Guy and other well-known comedians such as Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Ron White. He’s now taken his talent “on the road” with a new NBC reality show.

The deadliest wreck in the history of the Metrorail system in Washington, D.C., killed the parents of an Elon DPT alum. Services are scheduled for early next week, with a memorial fund established to honor their memories.
