"Wherever the stink is, we'll try to zero in on it," says Drudge about his weekly program.

Drudge exudes the take-no-prisoners attitude that has also earned him a talk show on the FOX News Channel and highly publicized guest spots on Meet The Press and Nightline as well as widespread scorn from his journalism colleagues. Drudge is the author of The Drudge Report, the widely read Internet website that focuses on political news and the business of Hollywood, where he exposed the Monica Lewinsky scandal to the world and scooped Newsweek.

Drudge was raised in Takoma Park, Maryland, where he was a "loner" and a news junkie, a kid who grew up with talk radio as company. His first jobs included the night shift at a 7-11 and selling TIME Life books over the phone. He moved to Los Angeles in 1989 and started The Drudge Report in 1995. He was managing the CBS studio gift shop and thought it would be an amusing hobby to use the 'Net to relay the gossip he overheard. Drudge's declared aim is to give "the American people" the information he believes to be correct or important, and to revolutionize the media industry with a breath of fresh, young air.
