KTLA Anchor Mark Kriski Talks More About His Recent Stroke
Longtime KTLA weather anchor Mark Kriski talked more about his stroke in May and about his recovery in honor of National Stroke Awareness Month. "I went down like a ton of bricks," Kriski recalled after suffering a stroke in May 2024. "I tried to get out of bed and my legs weren't there. I was tilting to the right all the time, which my stroke seemed to affect." Kriski also said he had Wallenberg Syndrome, which involved damage to a part of the brainstem called the medulla, typically caused by a stroke, and his vocal cords had been affected. "One of my vocal cords, the right one, was paralyzed," he said. "So that's why I had such a hoarse voice." Kriski said his doctors injected a temporary solution of filler to plump up his affected right cord so that both the left and right cords could meet and work properly again for speech. Kriski came back to KTLA Morning News on April 3. He said that although he's glad to be mostly recovered, he did note that the incident changed his life.

He's back! Mark Kriski returns to the KTLA 5 Morning News
He's back! After some time away, longtime weather anchor, Mark Kriski, has returned to the KTLA 5 Morning News. On Thursday, Mark revealed he had undergone a procedure to his right vocal cord, but the recovery ended up taking longer than expected. 'That procedure doesn't last forever. You have to redo it. (I) went in for the second time, and the recovery is supposed to be two or three days,' he explained. 'So I do it on a Friday. That was the first time. I was back on Monday, and everything's fine. Tuesday comes, not fine. Wednesday, Thursday (my voice) still isn't back.' Mark's doctor then advised he had to wait it out. What was supposed to take a couple of weeks ended up taking months. His doctors just told him to 'hang in there' as nothing else could be done. Kim Kardashian's Skims takes over iconic L.A. diner 'So you had laryngitis, basically,' Jessica Holmes inquired. 'Yeah, two months, two months exactly, and now it's back, and it feels great. It never was sore or anything. It just wasn't full, the voice wasn't rich,' he said. While recovering, Mark became quite the grocery shopper at home as his wife, Jennifer Gould, was out working. 'What did you learn with all this time off?' Eric Spillman asked Mar. 'What's on Aisle 5- left-hand side, cleaning supplies,' he joked. 'The funniest thing was just on Monday, the one of the checkers (at the gocery store) said, 'Mark, you really need to go back to work.''

'No more of these long absences. I'm done for one. I'm saying to Eric too, I'm not ready to retire. I don't have a plan.' In May of 2024, he suffered a mild stroke that had him out for a few months almost a year ago. He laughed that he could only do so much grocery shopping and that he needs to get a hobby. Right now he's contemplating golf and Canasta. 'I remember playing Canasta with my Grandma,' he said. 'Bring it back. Let's start a Canasta Club!' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
