Mark Levin aiming to be back on air for debate following injury

Republican talk show host Mark Levin is aiming to return to the air Tuesday night, shortly after a quadricep injury kept him off his show Monday.

The host of The Mark Levin Show revealed Monday morning that he experienced “a very bad fall” that tore his quadricep between his right knee and thigh, and he expected to be in surgery for up to a couple of days. Levin added that he aimed to return to the airwaves “as soon as I can.”

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.

“Mark's going to try and come on radio tonight because it's an important night - debate night!” Sementa wrote on X, which Levin reposted. “He’s very grateful to all of you.”
