Early life
Hayes was born in Riverdale, Bronx, and was one of three sons of Roger and Geri Hayes. His mother is of Italian descent, and his father is of Irish Catholic ancestry. His father came from Chicago after attending a Jesuit seminary and launching community activism in the Bronx. Roger Hayes spent many years as a director of the NYC Department of Health as a leader in community activism. Hayes' mother worked as a school counselor and worked with the NYC Department of Education. Hayes was raised Catholic but left attending classes in college and became irreligious.
He is a childhood friend and schoolmate of comedian Desus Nice. Hayes attended Hunter College High School in New York City; his classmates included Immortal Technique and Lin-Manuel Miranda; In Miranda's first musical, Hayes directed the latter.
Hayes received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brown University majoring in philosophy and graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2001. "I was a philosophy major but I was very much in this sort of analytic college," Hayes said at Brown's "intellectual formation." However, Foucault's postmodern critique of the place I was living and the people with was heavily influenced by this intellectual culture. "In particular, it was a youth in need of a jacket." Kate Shaw, Brown Hayes' future wife, met him at Brown Hayes.
Personal life
Hayes married Kate Shaw, a one-time Supreme Court law clerk for Yeshiva University and a Supreme Court reporter for ABC News, on July 14, 2007. They met at Brown as a pair. Andy Shaw, a veteran Chicago reporter, is his father-in-law. Hayes and Shaw lived in Washington, D.C., until they migrated to New York City, where All in With Chris Hayes is produced. They have three children.
Luke Hayes' brother served on Barack Obama's 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns.
Hayes is a member of the Democratic Party as of 2019.
Journalism career
Beginning in August 2001, for four years Hayes was a contributor to the independent weekly newspaper Chicago Reader, where he covered local and national politics. In late 2003, he began a four-year stint at In These Times, a labor-focused monthly magazine based in Chicago where he was a senior editor.
From 2005 to 2006, Hayes was a Schumann Center Writing Fellow at In These Times. From 2006 through 2007, Hayes was a Puffin Foundation Writing Fellow at The Nation Institute, and a contributing writer for The Nation. On November 1, 2007, The Nation named him its Washington, D.C. editor, succeeding David Corn.
Hayes wrote extensively on issues central to the liberal community, including what ails the Democratic Party in the post-9/11 era and how the labor movement is changing. He also reported on progressive activists' work to resuscitate the "public option" during the 2009–2010 health care fight when many political insiders wrote it off as dead.
Hayes was an adjunct professor of English at St. Augustine College in Chicago and a Bernard L. Schwartz fellow at New America Foundation from 2008 to 2010.
Hayes guest-hosted The Rachel Maddow Show in July 2010 while Maddow was traveling in Afghanistan and later often filled in for Maddow when she was absent. Hayes has also hosted other MSNBC shows such as The Ed Show, Countdown With Keith Olbermann, and The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell.
On November 5, 2010, MSNBC announced that Hayes would be filling in for Keith Olbermann during Olbermann's suspension. However, the network later backtracked after finding out that Hayes had also made political contributions—the issue over which Olbermann was being suspended.
Hayes credits Maddow with his becoming a host at MSNBC, saying, "I absolutely would not be doing this if it weren't for her."
Chris Hayes is also the most frequent guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
On August 1, 2011, MSNBC announced that Hayes would host a two-hour morning show on Saturdays and Sundays, each going into depth on current issues. The first airing of Up with Chris Hayes was September 17, 2011, and featured a live interview with Nancy Pelosi.
On May 27, 2012, Memorial Day Weekend, Hayes made comments on air regarding the use of the word "heroism" as applied to American servicemen killed in action, stating, "I feel uncomfortable about the word because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war. And I don't want to obviously desecrate or disrespect the memory of anyone that's fallen, and obviously there are individual circumstances in which there is genuine, tremendous heroism, you know, hail of gunfire, rescuing fellow soldiers, and things like that. But it seems to me that we marshal this word in a way that is problematic. But maybe I'm wrong about that." His remark generated widespread controversy. Hayes initially defended his comment by urging people to listen to what he had actually said. Nonetheless, he apologized on his blog. Furthermore, on his June 2, 2012, show, he devoted a discussion to his comments and the disconnect between civilians and the military.
On March 14, 2013, MSNBC announced that Hayes would take over the time slot formerly hosted by Ed Schultz, who would move to the weekends. At 34 years old, he became the youngest host of a prime-time show on any of the country's major cable news channels.
According to The New York Times, the change was made in the hopes that MSNBC can win a wider audience than it did with Schultz. Hayes was said to transition better to The Rachel Maddow Show because he is seen as just as policy-oriented as Maddow. "Chris has done an amazing job creating a franchise on weekend mornings," said Phil Griffin, the president of MSNBC. "He's an extraordinary talent and has made a strong connection with our audience."
All In with Chris Hayes, Hayes's first prime-time show, premiered Monday, April 1, 2013.
The show won an Emmy in 2015 and again in 2018.
In May 2018, Hayes launched a weekly podcast called Why Is This Happening?, featuring interviews with political figures, activists, journalists, writers, and academics. The podcast's first live episode was recorded in November 2018, at Congregation Beth Elohim, in Brooklyn, New York, with author Ta-Nehisi Coates. Hayes' second live episode, held on February 24, 2019, featured an interview with Georgia politician and activist Stacey Abrams.
