The Weekly Podcast: Remembering Mark Knoller — His Decades at the White House, and on C-SPAN

On August 30th, 2025, Mark Knoller, the legendary, long-time member of the White House press corps, died. In tribute, the latest episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly" is all about Mark Knoller — his decades of appearances — and mentions — on C-SPAN. Like this:
TONY SNOW: "Knoller — have you had family over to the White House?"
MARK KNOLLER: "A couple of years ago I brought my mom to the Christmas reception. It blew her mind. She was really awestruck by it."
TONY SNOW: "What did you do?"
MARK KNOLLER: "She got to meet the president. The president noted I brought my mom. And we've heard the president speak about his mom, And his relationship with him mom. As we walked away from getting our picture taken, he pointed at my mom and gave me a thumbs up."


That was February 20th, 2007... Mark Knoller's birthday. He was on a panel discussing the White House press corps. But in a twist, the panel moderator, the one asking the questions, was then-press secretary to President George W. Bush — Tony Snow.


What stories did Mark Knoller tell on C-SPAN about his decades covering the White House?
What did fellow reporters say about him?
What did Presidents say to him?
And what was his single greatest contribution to modern day White House history and the presidency?


Find out in the latest episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly" — as we remember Mark Knoller.
