Twenty years of shows—the history, the hosts, the guest hosts, the guests, the mergers, the breaking news, the banter, the fun and the road trips. Twenty years of my life.

Fresh off his latest feat walking the 400-foot Orlando Eye, tightrope walker Nik Wallenda tells CNBC why he does what he does.

I have the greatest job. For 20 years now I have been coming into work every morning at CNBC and making sure Squawk Box makes it on TV. It's a really good gig. We started it in a humble studio in an office building in Fort Lee, New Jersey back in 1995. The original team was Joe Kernen, David Faber, Maria Bartiromo, and the late Mark Haines. We later moved to a new global state-of-the-art, all-digital facility here in Englewood Cliffs NJ.
