Laura Anne Ingraham (born June 19, 1963) is an American radio talk show host, best-selling author, and conservative political commentator. Her nationally syndicated talk show, ''The Laura Ingraham Show'', airs throughout the United States on Courtside Entertainment, and she is the official guest host for Fox News Channel's ''The O'Reilly Factor''. On April 13, 2014, George Stephanopoulos announced on his Sunday morning show, ''This Week'', that Laura Ingraham had joined ABC News as its "newest contributor". ==Early life and career== Ingraham grew up in a middle-class family in Glastonbury, Connecticut, where she was born to Anne Caroline (née Kozak) and James Frederick Ingraham III.〔https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152061437129726&l=5479af2c4e&_fb_noscript=1〕〔http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/hartfordcourant/obituary.aspx?pid=168503939〕 Her maternal grandparents were Polish immigrants.〔http://articles.courant.com/1999-05-31/news/9906010360_1_anne-ingraham-glastonbury-south-korea〕 She graduated from Glastonbury High School in 1981. Ingraham earned a Bachelor of Arts at Dartmouth College in 1985 and a Juris Doctor at the University of Virginia School of Law in 1991. As a Dartmouth undergraduate, she was a staff member of the independent conservative newspaper, ''The Dartmouth Review''. In her senior year, she was the newspaper's editor-in-chief,〔 〕 its first female editor. She wrote several controversial articles during her tenure, notably an article alleging racist and unprofessional behavior by Dartmouth music professor Bill Cole, who later sued Ingraham for $2.4 million. The college paid his legal costs. The suit was settled in 1985.〔James Panero and Stefan Beck (eds), ''The Dartmouth Review Pleads Innocent'', pp. 43-58〕 Jeffrey Hart, the faculty adviser for ''The Dartmouth Review'' described Ingraham as having "the most extreme anti-homosexual views imaginable", claiming "she went so far as to avoid a local eatery where she feared the waiters were homosexual." In 1997, she wrote an essay in the ''Washington Post'' in which she stated that she changed her views on homosexuality after witnessing "the dignity, fidelity and courage" with which her gay brother Curtis and his companion coped with AIDS. Ingraham has stated that she supports civil unions, but still believes that marriage "is between a man and a woman".〔()〕 In the late 1980s, Ingraham worked as a speechwriter in the Ronald Reagan administration for the Domestic Policy Advisor. She also briefly served as editor of ''The Prospect'', the magazine issued by Concerned Alumni of Princeton. After law school, in 1991, she served as a law clerk for Judge Ralph K. Winter, Jr., of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in New York and subsequently clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. She then worked as an attorney at the New York-based law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. In 1995, she appeared on the cover of ''The New York Times Magazine'' in a leopard-print miniskirt in connection with a story about young conservatives. In 1996, she and Jay P. Lefkowitz organized the first Dark Ages Weekend in response to Renaissance Weekend. Ingraham has had two stints as a cable television host. In the late 1990s, she became a CBS commentator and hosted the MSNBC program ''Watch It!'' Several years later, Ingraham began campaigning for another cable television show on her radio program. She finally got her wish in 2008, when Fox News Channel gave her a three-week trial run for a new show entitled ''Just In''.〔(Great News on the Laura Ingraham Front by Michael Gaynor ), theconservativevoice.com; accessed April 28, 2014.〕〔(America's Election HQ Returns Monday - mediabistro.com: TVNewser ); accessed April 28, 2014.〕 Her latest book is titled ''Of Thee I Zing'' and was released on July 12, 2011.
