Mike Gallagher was born on April 7, 1960, in Dayton, Ohio. An American national, he developed an early interest in radio and television. He was actively involved in school theatre, the band, and broadcast programs during his school years.
Gallagher attended Archbishop Alter High School before going on to study at the University of Dayton and Wright State University.
Gallagher began his broadcasting career at the age of 17 in Greenville, South Carolina. Demonstrating remarkable initiative and skill in his early years, he was appointed station manager—a significant role for someone so young. Over time, his work led him to some of the most respected radio stations in New York.
In 1998, his radio program, The Mike Gallagher Show, debuted nationally, initially airing on 12 stations. The show, known for addressing societal and political issues, quickly gained a wide audience. Gallagher is affiliated with Salem Radio Network and also contributes to programming on Fox News Channel (FNC).
The show has aired in major markets including Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Atlanta, and Philadelphia, as well as in numerous smaller cities across the U.S. According to Talkers Magazine, Gallagher has consistently ranked among the top ten most-listened-to talk radio hosts in the country. At one point, he was ranked as the sixth most-listened-to radio talk show host, with an estimated daily audience reaching up to four million.
Gallagher has been featured in several major magazines and newspapers and was named one of the "100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts in America" by Talkers Magazine for eleven consecutive years. He is known for hosting a wide range of guests on his show, including influential public figures and politicians, and for his engaging approach to discussions about current affairs.
In addition to his radio work, Gallagher is a recurring contributor to FNC, where he occasionally co-hosts programs and provides political commentary.
As an author, Mike Gallagher has written several books. His first, Surrounded by Idiots, released in 2006, became a bestseller. The book, praised for its sharp commentary and wit, was well received even by some critics not aligned with Gallagher's political views. His earlier book, published in 2002, offered satirical takes on societal and political developments and also garnered positive attention.
Gallagher has used his platform to support various charitable causes. In 2005, he established the Mike Gallagher Show Charitable Foundation, which became a vehicle to support American military families. In 2006, he expanded his efforts internationally by raising money through his show to build homes for impoverished communities in Jamaica. The broadcast of this charitable initiative was aired live on Jamaican national radio.
Through his charitable foundation—also known as Gallagher’s Army—he has continued to support the families of American police officers killed in the line of duty.
Known for his outspoken political views, Gallagher is no stranger to controversy. As a prolific speaker and commentator, some of his statements—particularly about public figures and entertainment personalities—have drawn public criticism and media attention.
Mike Gallagher was married to Denise Gallagher, who passed away from cancer at the age of 52. Despite personal loss, Gallagher has remained active in his work, continuing his contributions as a radio host, political commentator, author, and philanthropist.
