Biography

Hayes attended New York City's Hunter College High School.[5] He attended Brown University for his undergraduate education, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy and worked with Production Workshop, the university's student theatre group. Previously, Hayes was Adjunct Professor of English at St. Augustine College.

From 2006 through 2007, Hayes was a Puffin Foundation Writing Fellow at The Nation Institute,[6] and a Contributing Writer for The Nation. On November 1, 2007, The Nation named him its Washington, D.C., Editor, succeeding David Corn. He is also currently a Senior Editor at In These Times, a liberal monthly magazine based in Chicago. He has written extensively on issues central to the liberal community, including what ails the Democratic Party in the post-9/11 era[7] and how the labor movement is changing.[8] Hayes is also a regular contributor to the Chicago Reader, an independent weekly newspaper, where he covers local and national politics.

He guest-hosted The Rachel Maddow Show in July 2010, while Maddow was traveling in Afghanistan; Hayes often filled in for Maddow when she was absent. Hayes has also hosted other MSNBC shows such as The Ed Show, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, and The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell. On November 5, 2010, MSNBC announced that Hayes would be filling in for Keith Olbermann during Olbermann's suspension. Upon hearing the reason for Olbermann's suspension, Hayes withdrew in support of the anchor.[9] Hayes credits Maddow with his becoming a host at MSNBC, saying "I absolutely would not be doing this if it weren't for her." [2]

Personal

Hayes is married to Kate A. Shaw, Associate Counsel for President Barack Obama and daughter of award-winning Chicago journalist Andy Shaw, who has also appeared a number of times on MSNBC.[10][11] Hayes and Shaw resided in Washington, D.C., until they moved to New York City, where Up with Chris Hayes is produced.[12]
