Earl Wilson (1907–1987) was a prominent American journalist, author, and syndicated columnist best known for his long-running column "It Happened Last Night". Born in Rockford, Ohio, Wilson became a trusted and entertaining voice in show business journalism, covering Broadway, celebrities, and nightlife with a blend of wit, accuracy, and integrity. Unlike many gossip columnists of his era, Wilson earned respect for verifying facts and avoiding sensationalism. His work appeared in hundreds of newspapers nationwide, making him a familiar name across the U.S. for over three decades.
