TCM Hosts

When Ben Mankiewicz made his TCM debut in September 2003, he became only the second host hired in the network’s history. Born and raised in Washington, D.C, Mankiewicz graduated from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, eventually working as a reporter and anchor in Miami before moving to Los Angeles—nearly 75 years after his grandfather, screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz had arrived. He is also a film critic, co-hosting At the Movies for a year and currently co-hosting the web-based show What the Flick?! and writing reviews for The Huffington Post.
