Kriski returns to KTLA

KTLA 5/Los Angeles’ morning weather man, Mark Kriski, suffered a mild stroke in May. This morning Dayna Devon’s Entertainment Report on the KTLA 5 Morning News was interrupted by a special guest, longtime weather anchor Mark Kriski. Slow music overtook the studio and the double doors opened as Mark strolled through with the screen behind him reading “Coming back… wiser… than ever.”

“On Memorial Day weekend I had a stroke. Everything was pretty well and fine, but all of the sudden at one o’clock in the morning I had this massive, massive headache. I don’t get headaches, I don’t get migraines. It was from front to back,” he explained. “I stood up to go to the bathroom to get aspirin or something, I went down like a ton of bricks. I stood up holding the bed and I couldn’t stand, I was falling to the right.”

Kriski says the key to his recovery was eating right and exercise. “Move everyday,” Kriski said he learned it is critical to maintaining health. Kriski returns to his post at KTLA 5 tomorrow morning.
