Professional Bio
Ben Collins is the CEO of The Onion, America’s Finest News Source™. He has overseen the 270-year-old American institution and its 4.3-trillion human readership since April 2024. Taking advantage of cheap Canadian timber, a country that will never be tariffed, The Onion returned to print in August 2024. The Onion now ships its monthly newspaper to over 40 countries and all 50 states — even, regretfully, Massachusetts. The company relaunched The Onion News Network in October 2024, joining other news networks in babysitting America’s elderly.
Collins previously worked at NBC News as a senior reporter, where he won an Emmy and a Walter Cronkite Award, and The Daily Beast as a Senior Editor, where awards are cause for termination. His social security number consists of only 5s and 2s, in an order he will not disclose.
