Luke Russert (born August 22, 1985) is an American broadcast news correspondent, who worked for NBC News from 2008 to 2016. His reporting was seen on NBC Nightly News, TODAY, NBCNews.com, and MSNBC. He also was a guest anchor on various MSNBC programs, including Andrea Mitchell Reports and Way Too Early.
Russert is the son of newsman Tim Russert, who died of a heart attack in 2008 and had been the longest-serving moderator of Meet the Press, and his wife Maureen Orth, a special correspondent for Vanity Fair.
Russert graduated from St. Albans School in Washington, D.C. in 2004.
He worked for ESPN's Pardon the Interruption while a student at Boston College, where he double-majored in Communications and History and graduated in 2008. Russert also co-hosted the sports talk program called 60/20 Sports on XM Satellite Radio with James Carville while at Boston College.
In August 2008, just after graduating from Boston College and a month after the death of his father, NBC News hired Russert as a correspondent covering youth issues as part of its coverage of the 2008 presidential election. He was assigned to cover both the Democratic and Republican conventions. His election day report, which explored the impact of Barack Obama’s win on young people, contributed to NBC’s News & Documentary Emmy award for its 2008 Election Night coverage.
