Larry O'Connor (born June 23, 1967) is an American talk radio host on the Cumulus-owned heritage radio station WMAL AM/FM in Washington DC and frequent television guest on Fox News Channel's early morning show Fox and Friends as well as FNC's Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld. In 2015 he married Meredith Dake.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, O'Connor grew up in the suburban township of Plymouth located between Detroit and Ann Arbor. In 1980 he moved to Newport Beach, Cal., and attended Corona del Mar High School along with actors Reg Rogers and Kellie Rutherford, Rock star and TV personality Mark McGrath, and film director/producer McG.
From 1986 to 1999, O'Connor worked for The Shubert Organization. During his tenure as general manager of the Shubert Theatre, Los Angeles (1991–99), O'Connor oversaw the renovation of the 2,100-seat theatre specifically to accommodate the American premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber's SUNSET BLVD. starring Glenn Close. He helped create the Ovation Awards, the competitive theatre awards in Los Angeles modeled after Broadway's Tony Awards. He served as executive producer of the awards show in 1994 and 1995, and he served as president of the governing body for the awards, Theatre LA, the league of Los Angeles Theatres.
After leaving Shubert in 1999, O'Connor served as general manager/producer for several major productions including Sweeney Todd, starring Kelsey Grammar; A Knight Out, starring Sir Ian McKellen; and 10 Commandments the Musical, Starring Val Kilmer and then-unknown Adam Lambert.
In January 2009 O'Connor began writing for Andrew Breitbart's Big Hollywood site under the pseudonym Stage Right. O'Connor focused on the theatre industry and wrote from the perspective of a conservative in the closet surrounded by political liberals on Broadway. He wrote many posts about the NEA Conference call scandal. His byline frequently appeared at Big Journalism, Breitbart's site focusing on critical assessments of the mainstream media. He spearheaded the defense of James O'Keefe during his arrest at Mary Landrieu's office in New Orleans, and he exposed major falsehoods in an article written by Max Blumenthal about O'Keefe that resulted in Salon issuing retractions.
