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.
“terrible” injury?
A torn ACL?
She still has her leg.
Why is everything so much worst when someone rich, famous, or sexually confused experiences it?
>> Gutfeld said people are tired of “human sh*t” on their porches
Comedy gold.
Makes you wonder what the Fox News ratings would be if they admitted that election fraud really exists. I think the ratings would increase, but that's just one opinion.
“She’s going to be 60 in June.
What was she thinking?“
Exactly! Has she never heard the name - Sonny Bono?!?
I am going to be 60 in April. I was skiing yesterday. I don’t race 14 year olds though.
Boy are right about that!🙂
I broke my collarbone at Jay Peak on the FIRST run of the day about eighteen years ago.
I’ve had mine since early 2000s. I only use it when I need to. Love mine too.
More headline hyperbole. A compound fracture is a “terrible” injury, a torn ACL is not.
She sits behind a desk while doing her job and could continue to do it if she wants to. I’m not knocking her decision, but I am knocking more “everything is a disaster” reporting.
I would have thought her surgery was transgender related.
“She said that on the “last run of the day”...”
When you get injured on a run, it is always the “last run” of that day.
"Proper little mummy's boy aren't we?"
I lost all respect for Laura when she and everyone else at Fox News after the 2020 election. She was the first to tell Trump to accept the fact the he “lost” the election.
I will NEVER watch her again.
FYI, I met her when she was up here in NH promoting one of her books: “Shut up and Sing”. My wife and I got a signed copy of her book at the local store.
Plus she had gone to Dartmouth. So, she had the NH connection.
She sold out for the big money contract just like almost all the other Fox personalities.
I still watch Gutfeld and Tucker on YouTube about once or twice a week.
The last run of the day can be perilous if some unintended consequence pops up.
It was a revelation to me when I was in my late 40’s and couldn’t catch a boy who stole the spoon I was carving and taunted me to catch him. The whole camp had a good laugh when they observed Mr Bert failing to catch the mischievous scout
Ski injuries happen when people attempt to try stuff above their skill level. Ski hills are a large scale application of Newton’s laws.
Ask Sonny Bono.
Heh, heh. Yep, there’s lot of experience thinking “I’m beat, but just one more run…”
Got to know when to hang up the spikes.
Mine was replaced with the medial third of my patellar tendon. But that was back in the 80s.
Very good account. I like the contrarian thinking that works in your case.
