With his keen-eyed perspective and peerless access to the corridors of power, John Heilemann provides an unvarnished take on the headlines and broader forces shaping American politics today. Heilemann is a creator, executive producer, and host of The Circus, Showtime’s acclaimed weekly political documentary series, which pulls back the curtain on American politics for an unbiased, inside look at the stories beyond the headlines. He is also a national affairs analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, where he appears regularly on Morning Joe, The Last Word, Hardball, Deadline: White House, and other programs. During the 2016 election season, Heilemann served as co-managing editor of Bloomberg Politics and co-host of MSNBC and Bloomberg TV’s With All Due Respect. Prior to joining Bloomberg, he served as New York magazine’s national affairs editor and as a staff writer for The New Yorker, Wired, and The Economist, taking readers behind closed doors from Washington to Wall Street.
Heilemann is the co-author of The New York Times No. 1 best sellers Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime, on the 2008 presidential election, and Double Down: Game Change 2012. The first Game Change book was adapted into a movie of the same name by HBO, which went on to win five Emmy Awards, three Golden Globes, and a Peabody Award.
After 25 years covering the front lines and back rooms of politics and business on television and in print, Heilemann offers unrivaled insight into Washington, the corporate world, and how they are shaping—and being shaped by—the tectonic shifts transforming the world around us.

Inside The Circus 2024
Every four years, we’re told America is headed towards “the most important election of our lifetime.” But in 2024, John Heilemann argues, the cliche actually rings true. Against a backdrop of roiling economic and social anxiety, raging conflicts in the Middle East and Europe, and a domestic political landscape more bitterly polarized than at any time since the Civil War, the campaigns for the White House and control of Congress will be fevered, chaotic, and tumultuous to an unprecedented degree — and there’s no one better at making sense of it all than Heilemann. With his no-holds-barred style, gift for storytelling, 30 years of experience covering politics and business at the highest levels, and unrivaled access to the corridors power, John takes audiences behind the scenes and above the fray to give them the real story behind the headlines … and what the future holds for American democracy.
