Conservative commentator and popular talk radio host Mark Levin announced on social media early Monday morning that he sustained a serious injury over the weekend. Levin revealed he has been diagnosed with a torn quadricep muscle following a fall. In his post on X, Levin, the host of The Mark Levin Show and a frequent commentator on Fox News, wrote, “Unfortunately, I had a very bad fall this weekend and tore my quadricep between my right knee and thigh. I’ll likely be in surgery in the next day or two. I’ll be back on air as soon as I can. God bless.”
There has been no official update on Levin’s expected recovery time or when he might resume his regular broadcasting schedule. Known for his fiery conservative views and sharp critiques of the political establishment, Levin has been a prominent figure in conservative media for decades.

Levin recently interviewed former President Donald Trump where he asked the 2024 frontrunner if he believes in God more after being shot. “I think you think like, if you believe in God, you believe in God more. And somebody said like, ‘Why?’ And I’d like to think that God thinks that I’m going to straighten out our country,” Trump told Levin.
The Mark Levin Show, one of the most influential conservative voices in the country, is going to continue for an extended period under a new deal that the “great one” signed in June. The No. 1 conservative talker, already the busiest in the business, will be adding another show to his lineup for Cumulus Media, the Washington Examiner reported.
Levin has been with Cumulus Media and Westwood One since 2007. Under the new deal, he will develop and host an all-new show for the network, his first-ever original content podcast series. “This has been my radio home for 23 years, and I am more excited than ever, especially during these tumultuous and historic times, to continue my relationship with my first-rate broadcast partners for many years to come,” Levin said in a statement.
“Mark is a powerful and influential voice with an incredible ability to establish strong relationships with his listeners while driving tremendous results for his advertising partners,” Collin Jones, president of Westwood One and executive vice president of Cumulus Media, said. “Mark has been dubbed ‘The Great One’ for his ability to concisely break down the day’s most significant topics, and we are thrilled to grow our partnership with him for years to come.”
Levin, a legal scholar and former Chief of Staff at the Reagan-era Justice Department, has long been a go-to voice for clear and insightful analysis on critical issues, ranging from the legal challenges faced by former President Donald Trump to the scandals surrounding President Joe Biden. Renowned for his incisive critique of liberal media biases, Levin has consistently exposed attempts to obscure President Biden’s cognitive struggles, a fact that the media only began to acknowledge following last Thursday’s presidential debate.
“I understand my obligation is to serve the millions of patriotic Americans in the audience. I am blessed to do what I do, and I am committed every day to providing [a] detailed analyses of current events along with historic context, commentary, and my in-depth perspectives to deliver the very best broadcasting I am able to share with our many listeners,” said Levin, who is in the Radio Hall of Fame.
