Hugh Hewitt was born on February 22, 1956, in Warren, Ohio. He attended John F. Kennedy Catholic High School before graduating cum laude from Harvard University in 1978 with a B.A. in government. His early career involved working for David Eisenhower and serving as a ghostwriter for Richard Nixon, contributing to Nixon’s books ‘The Real War’ and ‘Leaders.’ Following Nixon’s advice, Hewitt pursued legal education at the University of Michigan Law School, earning his J.D. in 1983 and being inducted into the Order of the Coif. He then clerked for Judges Roger Robb and George MacKinnon on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 1983 to 1984. These formative experiences in law and politics laid the groundwork for his extensive career.
Hewitt’s career progressed significantly within the Ronald Reagan administration, where he held several key positions, including deputy director and General Counsel of the Office of Personnel Management, General Counsel for the National Endowment for the Humanities, Assistant White House Counsel, and Special Assistant to the Attorney General. In 1989, he became the executive director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum. Although he sparked brief controversy in 1990 by proposing screening researchers, his decision was quickly overturned. After leaving the Nixon Library in 1990, Hewitt transitioned into broadcasting, hosting a weekend radio talk show for KFI in Los Angeles until 1995. This period marked his entry into what would become a highly successful media career.
From 1992 to 2001, Hewitt co-hosted KCET’s program ‘Life & Times,’ earning three Emmy Awards for his work. He also conceived and hosted the 1996 PBS series ‘Searching for God in America.’ His nationally syndicated radio show, ‘The Hugh Hewitt Show,’ broadcast from 6 am to 9 am EST on weekdays, reaches over 75 stations and an audience of more than 2 million listeners weekly.
