Click here to inquire about Linda Ellerbee for your event now Linda Ellerbee Linda Ellerbee is a woman of spirit and determination who has enlightened and entertained audiences for more than 30 years. With her background as an outspoken journalist, award-winning television producer, best-selling author, and breast cancer survivor, she is one of the most sought-after speakers in America. Revered as a pioneer, a survivor and role model for young and old, Linda charms sell-out audiences across the country. She speaks to them about surviving a changing world with her heart intact. They come to hear her trademark wit and wisdom on everything from family life, friendship, getting fired, building a career, starting a company, discovering love, politics, feminism, surviving breast cancer, recovering from alcoholism, overcoming obstacles, climbing mountains and making a noise. But it’s not just her speeches that earn raves. Linda has brought her class and style to conferences all over the world as a panel moderator. She has skillfully guided discussions on business management, health, women’s issues, television news, advertising, internet privacy and security, kid's television and much more. Linda began her career at CBS, and then moved to NBC News where, after years covering national politics, she pioneered the late-night news program NBC News Overnight, which she wrote and anchored. Overnight was cited by the duPont Columbia Awards as "the best written and most intelligent news program ever." In 1986, she moved to ABC News to anchor and write Our World, a weekly primetime historical series. Her work on Our World won her an Emmy. In 1987, Linda and Rolfe Tessem, her partner, quit network news to start Lucky Duck Productions, first producing documentaries for PBS. In 1991, Lucky Duck began producing Nick News for Nickelodeon with Linda writing and hosting. Fifteen years later, Nick News is watched by more children than watch all other television news shows put together—and has earned honors traditionally associated with adult programming. Known for the respectful and direct way it speaks to children about the important issues of our time, Nick News has collected three Peabody Awards (including one personal Peabody given to Linda for her coverage of the Clinton investigation), a duPont Columbia Award and four Emmys. These days, Linda and her work can be seen all over the television universe. Lucky Duck has and continues to produce primetime specials for ABC, CBS, HBO, PBS, Lifetime, MTV, Logo, A&E, MSNBC, SOAPnet, Trio, Animal Planet and TV Land, among others. Linda was honored with an Emmy for her series, When I Was a Girl, which aired on WE: Women’s Entertainment network. Linda’s first foray into books for kids, an eight-part fiction series entitled Get Real, published in 2000, won her raves among middle school readers. Both of her previous adult books—And So It Goes, a humorous look at television news, and Move On, stories about being a working single mother, a child of the ‘60s and a woman trying to find some balance in her life—have been national best sellers. Linda’s newest book, also a best seller, Take Big Bites: Adventures Around the World and Across the Table, is a humorous account of her love of travel, talking to (and eating with) strangers, and, according to Linda, “oh, just making trouble in general.” As a breast cancer survivor, Linda travels thousands of miles each year giving inspirational speeches to others. She is as direct with women as she is with kids; they understand that she understands their lives. Whether as a keynote speaker, moderator, panelist or host, Linda puts audiences at ease while inspiring them with her gifts of honesty, courage, hope, and laughter. There is a reason Linda Ellerbee gets standing ovations. She is a real person speaking to real people, to the heart from the heart. Although Linda has won all of television's highest honors, she says it’s her two children who’ve brought her the richest rewards. Linda spends her personal time in New York City and Massachusetts with Rolfe, her partner in work and life and their two dogs, Daisy and Dolly.
