Robert David Sanders Novak (born February 26, 1931) is a conservative American political commentator and journalist. Over his career, Bob Novak has become well-known as a columnist (writing Inside Report since 1963) and as a television personality (appearing on many shows for CNN, most notably on three former programs, The Capital Gang , Crossfire , and Evans, Novak, Hunt, and Shields). His memoirs entitled Prince of Darkness: Fifty Years Reporting in Washington were published in July 2007 by Crown Forum, a division of Random House. "Prince of Darkness" was a nickname given Novak by his friend, the reporter John Lindsay, because he thought for a young man, [Novak] took a very dim view of the prospects for our civilization."
