Michael Medved

Michael Medved (born October 1948) is an American nationally syndicated conservative radio talk show host, film critic and author. He is also an Orthodox Jew (although Medved describes himself as an "Observant Jew").

Early Life

Medved was born in 1948 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but raised in San Diego, California. Medved graduated with honors from Yale and then attended Yale Law School (he left before graduating). Some of Medved's classmates included Bill Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Kerry. At the time Medved was a Democrat and opposed to the Vietnam War. Medved worked for Robert Kennedy's presidential campaign, until Kennedy's assassination. Medved later worked briefly for Congressman Ron Dellums of Berkeley, California—and credits that experience in pushing him permanently away from the Democratic Party. Medved is now a vocal supporter of the Republican Party and of conservative principles in general.
