In 2005, Conor Knighton helped launch youth-oriented cable network Current TV, now viewable in over 75 million homes across the world. The first person to appear on air, Knighton went on to host/produce three different successful news/comedy franchises for the network.

Recruited soon after graduating from Yale University, Knighton wrote the original pilot for Google Current, the world's first television program to use internet search data as a way of reporting on world events.

Conor went on to host and executive produce Current's first half-hour show, infoMania, a weekly comedic look into the world of news, popular culture, and politics. Developed with Madeleine Smithberg (co-creator, The Daily Show), the show quickly became Current's most popular regular series, described by Esquire Magazine as a show "every man should watch."

Cable network AMC tapped Conor to host The Movie List, a weekly countdown of favorite films and cinematic trivia. An avid traveller, Conor has also produced pieces from Pushkar, India and Dubai, UAE.

Conor is currently a contributor on CBS Sunday Morning and can next be seen hosting the upcoming Biography Channel show My Viral Video. From CNN Newsroom to Chelsea Lately, Conor frequently appears on air as a news and pop culture analyst. His commentary has been featured on CNN, HLN, TV Guide, MTV, E!, Oxygen, and KNBC.

Born in Charleston, West Virginia, Conor remains especially fond of Tudor's Biscuit World, Jesco White, and Mountain Stage.

He is represented by William Morris Endeavor.
