Charles Gasparino appears as a daily member of CNBC's ensemble.

Gasparino, in his role as On-Air Editor, provides reports based on his

reporting throughout the day and has broken some of the biggest

stories during the nation’s financial crisis. He is also a columnist
for TheDailyBeast, and a regular contributor to various publications
including The New York Post, and Forbes Magazine.

Before joining CNBC, Charles Gasparino was a senior writer
at Newsweek magazine, where he broke major stories involving politics,
Wall Street and Corporate America, including the developments at the

New York Stock Exchange and the massive pay package of its former
chairman Richard Grasso, former New York City Police Commissioner

Bernard Kerik's controversial nomination to Home Land Security chief,

and the controversy surrounding former New York State Attorney General
Eliot Spitzer's crackdown on corporate crime.

A former writer covering Wall Street, pension funds, mutual funds and
regulatory issues and breaking news on some of the biggest financial
scandals of recent times for The Wall Street Journal, Gasparino was
nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in beat reporting in 2002 and won the
New York Press Club award for best continuing coverage of the Wall
Street research scandals. In 2003, he was nominated as part of a team
of reporters for the paper's coverage of the New York Stock Exchange,

and the Richard Grasso pay package dispute that ultimately led to
Grasso's much publicized resignation as stock exchange chairman.

Gasparino has won numerous business journalism awards, and he is the
author of the book, "Blood on the Street," which was a BusinessWeek
bestseller and was listed by Barron's as one of the best business

books of 2005. His latest book, "King of The Club," about the New York

Stock Exchange and Grasso, published in November 2007 by HarperCollins

received rave reviews and was listed by the Library Journal as one of
the top business books of 2007. He is the author of his third book
in six years titled "The Sellout" about the sub-prime debt crisis, its
impact on the economy and the financial markets, also through
HarperCollins. He lives in New York City with his wife, Virginia
