Less a ‘Squawk’ Than A Peep

CNBC’s David Faber sits for this week’s Hotline Friday Feature and squawks about his life.

The documentary brain behind “The Age of Wal-Mart: Inside America’s Most Powerful Company” has a new one coming out next week, June 29th, on “The eBay Effect.”

Running down the standard questions, he “survived” growing up in Forest Hills, Queens, held his first job as a camp counselor in Maine, and was mortified when waiting for an interview with former World Com CEO Bernie Ebbers for an interview, the subject came up to and asked “Where’s Tyler?” in reference to his CNBC colleague Tyler Mathisen.

He’d like to interview William Shakespeare, “because as a frustrated playwright, I think that he would be able to show me how to do it right,” and in 2024 hopes to be a winemaker in Italy. Favorite book? “The Human Stain” by Philip Roth. Last meal? Ravioli Bolognese at Gino.
