Mark McKinnon is the co-creator, co-executive producer, and co-host of Showtime's The Circus: Inside the Greatest Political Show on Earth .

He is of course a legendary political advisor, reform advocate, media columnist, and
television producer. In his free time, he skis and mountain bikes wherever his travels
find him leading to busting his head at least once or twice that I know of.

I had the privilege to have Mark as an instructor at Harvard’s Kennedy School in the
spring of 2006 as an Army officer heading to the Pentagon and wanting to understand
political communications. Boy did I learn a lot. We’ve stayed in touch over the years
good fortune to connect with Mark just a month ago when The Circus made its way to
northwest Georgia to document the weird world of Marjorie Taylor Greene and my
friend, her challenger, Marcus Flowers.
