Writing

Knoedelseder was a staff writer from 1977 to 1989 reporting on the entertainment industry for the Los Angeles Times.

Knoedelseder's series of articles in the 1980s into corrupt practices in the record business formed the basis for the book Stiffed: A True Story of MCA, the Music Business and the Mafia.

In 2012, his book Bitter Brew, which spans five generations of the Busch family and the foreign takeover of Anheuser-Busch, made New York Times Bestseller list. Lionsgate Television optioned the book as a television series.

Television

Knoedelseder was executive producer of two television documentaries — Something’s Got to Give, a 1990 two-hour special for Fox about Marilyn Monroe, and All the Presidents’ Movies, a three-hour special for Bravo in 2003 that described the viewing habits of modern U.S. presidents.

Knoedelseder worked as a television producer and executive creating news programs and documentaries for Fox, Disney, Knight-Ridder, Bravo and USA Broadcasting. As vice president of news at USA, he oversaw the launch of a nightly news program on WAMI-TV in Miami titled "The Times." Miami New Times named it “Best Newscast in South Florida.”
