Fox News has been flying high in the ratings for some time. With the most popular shows and hosts, the network seems to be doing everything right. But one host has had some bad luck outside her job. Laura Ingraham, host of The Ingraham Angle on Fox News Channel since 2017, is also the editor-in-chief of LifeZette. She joined the network in 2007 and has soared as a host since.
It seems Ingraham was on a skiing holiday with her family in Colorado when an old injury reared its head, putting her physically out of commission. The popular Fox News host had sad news to announce to those who watch her show.
Ingraham said she was involved in a skiing accident and is taking some days off of work to recover. “The weekend before last, I decided to take my boys skiing in Colorado,” she said. “I didn’t wipe out once — until I took the bait.” She said that her son challenged her to a race. “I took off after my 14-year-old. Well, suffice it to say, it was all downhill from there,” the host said. She said that on the “last run of the day, about a quarter mile from the bottom, at Aspen Highlands” she slid on the ice and “heard a snap.”
“I immediately knew it was my ACL because I had done my other knee at the same resort 20 years ago,” the host said. “I’m going to try to be back early next week,” she said.
Ingraham posted her recovery situation with her beloved pets.

The family week-long vacay to Colorado has turned into an extended absence for Ingraham due to the injury and resulting surgery. will miss you these next few days, she posted Wednesday. “Thank you for your kind thought and prayers. I’ll be back as soon as I can!”
While Ingraham convalesces, in the meantime Fox News just got fantastic news about one of its flagship shows, “The Five.”
Conservative Brief reports:
The show has become the most watched show in cable news, averaging a total audience of 3.332 million viewers for the week that ended January 22nd, Nielsen ratings showed, Forbes reported.
“After The Five, the highest-rated shows of the week were Tucker Carlson Tonight (3.086 million viewers), Jesse Watters Primetime (2.647 million viewers), Hannity (2.386 million viewers), and Special Report with Bret Baier (2.367 million viewers)—all airing on the Fox News Channel,” the report said.
Forbes reported: “In prime time, Fox News led the cable news networks with an average total audience of 1.996 million viewers—beating CNN and MSNBC combined. Overall, Fox had fully 92 of the 100 highest-rated cable news telecasts for the week. Among viewers 25-54, the demographic group most valued by advertisers, Tucker Carlson Tonight was first with 442,000 viewers, followed by The Five (374,000 viewers), Hannity (303,000 viewers), Jesse Watters Primetime (266,000 viewers) and Special Report with Bret Baier (256,000 viewers).”
And its morning show, “Fox & Friends” crushed its competitors with a total audience of 1.260 million viewers as the MSNBC show “Morning Joe” averaged 760,000 viewers and “CNN This Morning” had its worst week with 331,000 viewers.
Conservative Brief continues:
The Fox News show “Gutfeld” continued to crush its competition with 2.010 million viewers, ahead of the ABC show “Jimmy Kimmel Live” which averaged 1.819 million viewers and “The Tonight Show” on NBC hosted by Jimmy Fallon which averaged 1.278 million viewers. “Gutfeld!” has ruled late-night television, averaging 2.1 million viewers through 2022, Nielsen Media Research showed, the Washington Times reported. Vox, known to be more of a liberal news organization, opined that “The biggest comedy show on late-night right now is not on ABC or NBC or CBS or Fox. It’s not on Comedy Central. It’s certainly not streaming. It’s on Fox News, and its name is ‘Gutfeld!’”
CNN, who has been doing a sweep of talent and programming, is reportedly working on its own late-night show to compete with Gutfeld, examining more progressive candidates for the job. “Brass at the famously progressive news network have reportedly floated names such as Bill Maher, Trevor Noah, Arsenio Hall, and Jon Stewart, as candidates, to offer a nontraditional, late-night-esque take on the day’s news. Fox News has found success with ‘Gutfeld!,’ the late-night comedy show hosted by Greg Gutfeld,” the Daily Mail said.
But Gutfeld has been a ratings champion for Fox News with “The Five,” a show he cohosts, as the top show in cable news, Nielsen said. During a segment on the popular Fox News program “The Five,” the panel discussed a video that went viral on social media last week showing an antique dealer spraying a woman with a water hose outside of his business. A bystander caught part of the incident on video and uploaded it to social media, which generated a lot of attention. Gutfeld said people are tired of “human sh*t” on their porches after a video went viral last week of a man spraying a homeless woman with a water hose in San Francisco, California, Conservative Brief reports.
I've crashed and burned when pushing myself on the "last run of the day"
I don't know. 20 years between accidents is not too bad.
60? I figured she was in her 40s. She looks great.
I was watching her that night. She’s gonna be on crutches for a while.
Get a Canemaster cane, Laura, for your recovery.
a Canemaster cane
Love mine. Excellent.
That photo with the dog is so sweet!
Prayers for you, Laura, for your full recovery.
One thing I learned that helped a LOT, whatever physical therapy exercises you are doing, do them entirely at random. Surprise the body. I had far better results after doing that. My MCL and ACL had been totally ripped apart.. Healed better than new. I kept a chart and checked them off to be sure I did everything.
Whatever physical therapy you do, perhaps do it at random times and random order. When I ripped my left knee ACL and MCL completely apart, I did the physical therapy on a schedule daily. From November to February, no results (no healing), no pain.
Then I remembered an Arnold Schwarzenegger biography I had listened to, where he said for any exercise to have the most effect, to "surprise" the body. Do them in random orders at random times. I made a checklist to ensure I did everything.
Now the pain started, but not bad. By April both ACL and MCL had completely healed. The doctors' plan had been for the physical therapy to heal the MCL, then operate on the ACL in August or so. ACLs generally don't heal back when completely severed.
I went to the doc to get signed off to go back to work in April. He twisted my leg every which way. He couldn't believe it was stronger than "normal" and signed me off. He kind of poo-pooed the random thing, but I didn't care. All was well. Good luck with your fix.
I began to wonder if going to physical therapy was worth it. The first time or two, definitely worth it so I knew how to do the exercises right. After that, it was just the same exercises as I was doing at home. I think it is for the lazy folks who don't do what they should so they will at least do something.
My contractor on my house tore his ACL months ago. He's been limited to being on his feet not more than a couple of hours until it painfully swells. His anti-inflammatory med makes him very nauseous. I turned him on to an herbal tea that absolutely settles the stomach and he had his wife stock up (it works!). But the progress on my house has going at a snail's pace; lately I'm lucky if he puts in a couple of hours one day a week. Fortunately, my other contractor, who specializes in exquisite brick and tile work, has been taking up some of the slack, so progress IS being made. As soon as the house is finished (we're getting close), my contractor intends to have the big surgery on his knee. What is that, they borrow some tendon from the buttocks or something to fix it?
That’s like looking for something you’ve lost. Always in the last place you look! Only because nobody keeps looking after they’ve found it. Had to be the last run of the day.
When I'm looking for my misplaced spectacles, they're always in the last place I look for them!
Regards,
My keys are the same way! Odd isn’t it...
Same thing applies to sex.
Regards,
Please tell me the name of the stomach settling tea.
Yep, I agree...it was the last run, I shouldn’t have gone, too tired, result sprained ankle.
She’ll be back before Lamar Jackson
The Fox Network isn’t “doing everything right”, when it joins the rest of the MSM in denying that there was actual voter fraud!
.... it’s all down hill from here.....
Both of my knees went out because of skiing. (Well, BAD skiing).
Alcohol poisoning, like any good Yooper corpse would provide...
Great post! Thanks for sharing your insight! :)
Yep, and some of the best knee surgeons in the world just happen to work near Colorado ski resorts.
