During the O.J. Simpson “Trial of the Century,” Walker wrote the headline-making New York Times #1 Best Seller, "Nicole Brown Simpson: Private Diary of a Life Interrupted," with Faye Resnick. Just months later, his book "Private Diary of an OJ Juror," with Michael Knox, rocketed to #5 on the NYT list.
That created a world record: He’s the only reporter known to have written two best-selling books on the same major story. He’s written several non-fiction books, and the novel, “Malicious Intent.”
Walker delighted millions during a record-breaking 16-year stint as a regular with shock jock Howard Stern, who calls Walker "the Hemingway of gossip." Stern featured him every Friday on his top-rated show, conducting the famed "Mike Walker Game."
Dubbed "The King of Gossip" by Publisher’s Weekly, Walker’s lectured at such distinguished journalism schools as the University of California at Berkeley and Columbia University. And he scored the prestigious invitation to become a Fellow of Ireland’s legendary Trinity College, Dublin.
"I'm an historian," Walker explains, "and I’d love to teach a course in what drives mankind’s predilection for gossip. How’s ‘Professor of Whisperology’ sound?”
