Harvey Levin
Harvey Robert Levin is an American producer, lawyer, legal analyst, and investigative reporter.
Levin received an undergraduate degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara and his J.D. from the University of Chicago. He passed the bar exam in 1975, and worked in various legal roles in the entertainment industry. For years, he was a legal reporter on KCBS-TV in Los Angeles where he reported on the O.J. Simpson murder trial. In 1994, Levin almost caused murder charges against Simpson to be tossed out when he presented a video on KCBS-TV that allegedly showed prosecutor Marcia Clark searching Simpson’s home before a search warrant was issued. Within days, Levin was forced to retract the story and apologize on air. In 1996, Levin moved to New York to work as a legal analyst for The People's Court and deactivated his California bar license. Levin next created and executive produced Celebrity Justice in 2002 until it was cancelled after three years. Today, he is a managing editor at TMZ.com, a celebrity news and gossip site launched by Time Warner-AOL in December 2005. He also executive produces and hosts TMZ on TV. He is a frequent guest of the Kevin and Bean morning show, in addition to CNN's Larry King Live. Levin shares a home in Los Angeles with his girlfriend, a chiropractor.[1]
