Bill McCuddy's Predictions

 

Bill McCuddy spent 15 years on the Red Carpets of the Oscars, Golden Globes and just about anywhere or anyone else handing out a prize for Hollywood. He began his TV career at CNBC before appearing on America’s Talking (now MSNBC) and the Fox News Channel. “I covered stage left and stage right,” he says. Today he hosts or cohosts 9 podcasts (“So I’m rolling in dough”) and has a PBS/AllArts movie review show with Neil Rosen and Lisa Rosman. He also cohosts an NPR show “Air Hamptons with Bridget and Bill.” He does live in the Hamptons “but one of the shabbier parts you don’t see on reality shows.” He is married with one child, two dogs and a cat.
