Tony Kornheiser, a renowned sports columnist and writer, has been a stalwart at the Washington Post since 1979. Prior to his tenure at the Post, he had already made a name for himself as a sportswriter for the New York Times and Newsday.

Throughout his illustrious career, Kornheiser has authored three collections of allegedly humorous columns from the Post, including "Pumping Irony" in 1995, "Bald As I Wanna Be" in 1997, and "I'm Back For More Cash" in 2002.

In addition to his writing, Kornheiser has also made a significant impact on the world of radio. He has been the host of his own show, the aptly-named Tony Kornheiser Show, on Washington D.C. radio since 1992, and has also been broadcasting nationally on ESPN Radio since 1998.
