2:20Now Playing“Extreme Mortman" podcast for Thursday, February 12, 2026: Lou Cannon — Reagan biographer - Remembered by Carl Cannon
In December 1999, legendary Washington Post reporter Lou Cannon joined C-SPAN for a special program at the Reagan Ranch in Santa Barbara California .. It was the thirty-ninth in a series on American presidents ... A biographer of - and authority on - Ronald Regan, Lou Cannon talked with the C-SPAN audience — and took calls — for three hours:
BRIAN LAMB: Any reaction to this whole three hours, to being up here on the ranch again. Anything that comes mind.
LOU CANNON: Three hours is a long time. I might have said this at the beginning. But maybe you should end where you begin. Ronald Reagan had many sides to him. The side people that people saw was this performer. The performer as actor. The performer as governor. The performer as president. But he also needed time to himself. He also liked to be off stage. He also liked to be by himself. This was the place he came when he was off stage.
In December 2025, Lou Cannon passed away … For decades, he appeared on C-SPAN programs and took calls … And his son Carl Cannon, also an accomplished journalist and author, continues to do so.
