Was that Albert Brooks in Salt Lake City?
Published on Jun 1, 2011 04:32PM

So, does anybody know why Albert Brooks was in Salt Lake City over the weekend?

The actor/comedian/author posted on Twitter that he was visiting the Beehive State, but didn't say anything about why he was in town.

On Saturday, Brooks posted: "Quiet day in Salt Lake. America is a beautiful country if you hate the right people."

On Sunday, he announced that he was leaving: "Heading home from Salt Lake. Mormons are very nice. But not as funny as the ones on Broadway."

Brooks is currently promoting his new book, the sci-fi satire 2030. But there was no word that he was doing a book signing here. (Considering Utah's family audience, there probably would have been as many people seeking autographs of their copies of "Finding Nemo," for whom Brooks provided the voice of the dad clownfish Marlon.)
