Early life and education edit

Knoedelseder, who is from St. Louis, Missouri,[1] graduated with a bachelor of arts in English literature[2] from the University of Missouri-St. Louis.[3]

Career edit

Knoedelseder was a reporter from 1977 to 1989 for the Los Angeles Times. He also produced news for Knight Ridder, Fox and the USA Network.[4]

His articles in the 1980s into corrupt practices in the record business formed the basis for his book Stiffed: A True Story of MCA, the Music Business and the Mafia.[5]

In 2012, his book Bitter Brew, which spans five generations of the Busch family and the foreign takeover of Anheuser-Busch, made New York Times Bestseller list.[6] It revealed new information about August Busch IV.[7] In 2019, CBS Television Studios acquired the option to make it into a cable TV series produced by Jeffrey Kramer.[8]

Knoedelseder executive produced two television documentaries – Something's Got to Give, a 1990 two-hour special for Fox about Marilyn Monroe,[9] and All the Presidents’ Movies,[10] a three-hour 2003 special for Bravo that described the viewing habits of modern U.S. presidents.

Knoedelseder worked as a television producer and executive creating news programs and documentaries for Fox, Disney, Knight-Ridder, Bravo and USA Broadcasting. As vice president of news at USA, he oversaw the launch of a nightly news program on WAMI-TV in Miami titled "The Times."[11] Miami New Times named it "Best Newscast in South Florida.”
