He has appeared on various MSNBC shows, including Andrea Mitchell Reports and Way Too Early.
Personal life
Russert, a veteran of the United States, is involved in charitable causes that were funded by his late father's generosity. He took the position of emcee of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Washington's annual congressional dinner on April 20, 2010, which was renamed after his father's father's.
He has told Politico that as a sports junkie, he makes sure to watch ESPN's SportsCenter and College GameDay, as well as NBC's Sunday Night Football. He told Politico that Ireland's Four Fields in Woodley Park are his favorite watering holes in Washington, D.C., because its bartenders "pour a fine Guinness," and that on any given night you will find some first-rate live music." Billy Martin's Tavern in Georgetown is also popular because "you never know who you will be seated next to at the bar." It could be a cop coming off his shift, a college student, or even a congressman."
For its June 19, 2011 issue, he contributed an essay entitled "What I Learned From My Dad."
Russert is a member of the Buffalo Fan Alliance Board, an organization that has pledged to keep the Buffalo Bills within the city of Buffalo, New York, the hometown of his father. "I honestly think being a Bills fan is something that hasn't made it into your blood," he said in 2013. My grandfather was a die-hard Bills fan and he passed it on to my dad. When I was about two years old, I was given a Buffalo Bills jersey, so there was no doubt that I'd be a Bills fan."
For the tenth anniversary of his father's best-selling book Big Russ and Me, he penned an introduction devoted to his father.
Early life and career start
Russert is the son of newsman Tim Russert and his widow Maussert, a special correspondent for Vanity Fair.
Russert graduated from St. Albans School in Washington, D.C., in 2004.
He served for Pardon the Interruption as a Boston College undergraduate, where he double-majored in Communications and History and graduated in 2008. During Boston College, Russert co-hosted 60/20 Sports on XM Satellite Radio with James Carville.
NBC career
NBC News hired Russert as a youth reporter in August 2008, just after his graduation from Boston College and a month after his father's death. He was sent to cover both the Democratic and Republican conventions. The 2008 Election Day study, which investigated the effects of Barack Obama's win over young people, received the National & Documentary Emmy Award for NBC's News & Documentary Emmy for its 2008 election night coverage.
He has openly admitted that journalists in the media, including some colleagues, have raised allegations of unqualified nepotism owing to both his father's work as a Vanity Fair reporter and his mother's position as a Vanity Fair reporter, given that he had virtually no industry experience at the time of his recruitment. He said he merely attempts to deny it.
He worked on Capitol Hill for NBC News from May 2009 to July 2016. He served as a congressional reporter covering the House of Representatives from May 2009 to July 2016. In 2010, he made national headlines when he was offered a public apology from Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY), who was serving as Chairwoman of the House Ways and Means Committee at the time. Rangel, a congressman, had sluggishly challenged Russert's arduous inquiry into an ethics report that revealed Rangel's financial misconduct and unlawful donation solicitations, but then changed his position and apologized to Russert.
He also reported on Hurricane Irene for NBC News in 2011.
Russert made his primetime debut on NBC's "Conviction" in February 2012, examining whether Jon-Adrian Velazquez's 1998 murder conviction was justified or if Velazquez was sentenced to life term for a felony he didn't commit. The episode was nominated for a News & Documentary Emmy award for Best Report in a News magazine.
Russert has argued that the American media is biased against people of religious convictions, going so far as to say that it treats them with a certain degree of ridicule and "not aware of others or of different viewpoints" — a characteristic that, in his view, contributes to "feeding" the snarkers.
On www.msnbc.com, Russert hosted The Briefing, a web-only show; he has said he likes to think of it as a "younger man's Charlie Rose."
Russert resigned from NBC in July 2016, saying he had to investigate his career choices.
