About Rod

Former Governor, Talk Show Host
Gov. Rod Blagojevich, the twice elected former governor of Illinois, former Congressman and State Representative is currently on trial on charges he says he never committed.

He made history in August 2009 when he became the first former elected official still facing charges to be named host of his own radio show. The two-hour program aired on WLS radio in Chicago and has been put on hiatus until after the trial.

Rod also is author of the autobiography 'The Governor.'

Rod is happily married to Patti, who recently appeared on NBC's 'I'm a Celebrity' reality program. They have two daughters: 13-year-old Amy and 6-year-Annie.
