Mike Gallagher
Born in Ohio, Mike’s radio career was launched in 1989 in Greenville, SC on a station that is now News Talk 98.9 WORD.
Prior to being launched into national syndication in 1998, Mike hosted the morning show on WABC-AM in New York City. Today, Talkers Magazine reports that his show is heard by over 7 million weekly listeners.
He’s also a best-selling author, having written two books: Surrounded by Idiots: Fighting Liberal Lunacy in America (William Morrow) and 50 Things Liberals Love to Hate (Threshold), a humorous, insightful romp about the many things liberals seem to hate.
Gallagher has also appeared on stage and film as an actor, with featured roles in regional theater and on Broadway. He appeared at the Shubert Theater in New York for a guest stint in the Tony Award-winning musical “Memphis” as the White DJ, as well as playing the same role in a number of cities on the national tour. Mike also invested in the Tony award-winning musical “Pippin” both in NYC and the national tour.
Perhaps his greatest passion involves supporting the law enforcement community. His charitable foundation “Gallagher’s Heroes: Fallen Officers Fund” provides assistance to the families of police officers killed in the line of duty. In addition to reaching out to hero officer families, the foundation publishes and distributes the First Responder’s Bible, a King James Bible and spiritual fitness manual which is offered to First Responders to assist with the emotional and spiritual challenges they face every day (www.gallaghersheroes.org).
“The Happy Conservative Warrior” is one of the most consistently popular hosts in America. Mike’s passionate interaction with listeners and his fast-paced, fun delivery make his show appointment listening for millions of people.
