Conservative talk show host Dennis Prager is recovering from a nasty fall in November and hopes to be back on the air soon despite remaining paralyzed from the shoulders down, his media company announced this week.
PragerU CEO Marissa Streit told The Washington Times on Tuesday that the 76-year-old pundit “envisions himself speaking publicly” again for the first time since being hospitalized in Los Angeles with a serious back injury one week after Election Day.
“Dennis remains the wise fighter we know, who loves life and adores his country,” Ms. Streit said. “Soon, we will be fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from him again.”
On Monday, she released a video update with Mr. Prager’s son David, who also serves as the company’s chief development officer. He said his father did not sustain any brain damage and was talking, eating and drinking again.
“He’s all there; he’s a hundred percent there,” David Prager said. “When you hear him on the radio, you’ll say he hasn’t skipped a beat, that’s for sure, and God willing that’ll be very soon.”
Ms. Streit confirmed Mr. Prager had two surgeries to repair an injured spinal cord that damaged his breathing after hitting his head in the Nov. 12 fall.
She said in the video update that he has shown “some promising incremental improvement” in physical therapy despite the fact he “cannot move from the shoulders and below.”

That’s wonderful, but I’ll be honest: I’m actually more fond of the host subbing for him right now! Carl Jackson!
I’m old school and love listening to radio.
MANY have been praying for Dennis. Many many.
With all due respect to you and Carl Jackson, who I am sure is a nice guy and a great American...
It is so frustrating, especially in old age, when a person takes a fall and is so seriously injured.
Get well Dennis! Take care that you’re ok first. Then yes, we need ya!
Good Lord hope that paralysis is not permanent.
We will keep praying. I know it’s hard the older you get, but I pray for as complete a recovery as possible. I miss his dose of wisdom.
I also like him.
LORD bless him and return life to his body, in Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
RE: Carl Jackson.
Agree he is terrific.
Can he be scouted and signed by the rival Dan Bongino network and time slots?
That would be great when we lose Bongino.
All those creepy and annoying questions I get from the doctor’s office and annual snoopy Medicare Wellness visit they demand include “have you fallen recently?”
I know people end up in a cast or worse after a fall but I think I’ve never heard of a misfortune like Dennis Prager had from a fall. Sounds like being in a car that was totaled.
My prayers up for him. Hope he can finish his fifth and last book of Torah commentaries. Maybe dictate a lot.
Amen
I’m very glad to hear he is making that kind of progress, hope it continues for him.
Kurt Vonnegut died from a fall.
Have to watch ourselves.
I’m 78 and may give up skateboarding and roller blading.
Or at least reduce it a little.
“...annual snoopy Medicare Wellness visit they demand....”
How do they coerce you into letting that happen?
My understanding of those visits is that they are there to get some health care provider bureaucracy get you to have more chronic issues “diagnosed” by the org. so they can then bill Medicare for more $$$.
Mine says “you are overdue for your mandatory Medicare Wellness visit.”
Mandatory.
I haven’t pushed against that so don’t know details about what is left of the carcasses of people who spoke up.
Well, it is not recommended to piss off one’s doc....
To be honest...it sounds very bad. Fortunately, he can breath and eat. But he must be chair ridden...cannot move from shoulder on down....not good.Did he have a TIA and fall? Did he sever or seriously injure his spinal cord? Hope not.
May God show mercy on him.
True.
Two of my late wife’s past doctors lost their licenses. Another suddenly “retired” at around 40-—no one revealed anything more.
One of the disgraced doctors started life fresh in another state, Oklahoma, where he could get a new state approved license. Other was given probation instead of prison time but was out of the profession.
Recent one suddenly announced she was “retiring” and two months later was gone. No one said anything else about it. Wonder if she did something. It was so sudden (around 40 years old and seemed to be happy a few months earlier, not looking burned out.)
How does “neck on down” differ from “shoulders on down”?
