O’Donnell joined MSNBC as a political analyst in 1996. He is an Emmy Award-winning executive producer and writer for the NBC series “The West Wing” and creator and executive producer of the NBC series, “Mister Sterling.” From 1989 through 1992, O’Donnell served as Senior Advisor to Sen.

He first began working with Sen. Moynihan as Director of Communications in the Senator’s 1988 re-election campaign. A writer prior to entering politics and government, O’Donnell published the book Deadly Force (1983), which was adapted as a CBS movie in 1986. He has written essays and articles for several publications including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, New York Magazine, People, Spy, and Boston Magazine. O’Donnell has also appeared on NBC News’ “Today,” “Good Morning America,” “Nightline,” “Charlie Rose,” and several other programs. Suffolk University awarded O’Donnell an honorary degree, Doctor of Humane Letters, in 2001. Born in Boston, O’Donnell is a graduate of Harvard College. 5 MODERATED BY LARRY WILMORE Emmy-Winning Producer, Writer, and Performer Emmy Award winner Larry Wilmore has been a television producer, actor, comedian and writer for more than 25 years.
