Because of his contributions as a host on the documentary The Age of Walmart, he was awarded the prestigious Peabody Award in 2005. Along with this, he also received the Alfred I.

Besides his talent as a host, Faber is also a well-reviewed author and has written three books in his career that include The Faber Report (2002), And Then the Roof Caved In (2009), and House of Cards: The Origin of the Collapse (2010).
