Early life and education
Ziegler was born in a U.S. Army post in Heidelberg, Germany, and grew up as the eldest son of a financial manager in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania. The Bucks County Courier Times named him High School Golfer of the Year. Ziegler graduated from the Catholic Holy Ghost Preparatory School in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, in 1985. He attended Georgetown University in 1989, receiving a degree in government and a minor in Theology and Philosophy. He lettered in golf for three years while attending Georgetown.
"I grew up in an incredibly tight Roman Catholic family on both directions, both my mother and father's side," Ziegler said. Several aunts have died in the convent, and there are several others who haven't. I went to Catholic high school, Catholic college, as did virtually all of my relatives, so I'm very steeped in Catholicism. Ziegler is, however, an agnostic, who describes himself as a "recovering Catholic."
Personal life
He is married to Alison Kallik, and the two children have two children.
Career
Ziegler went from college to become a sportscaster, eventually rising to a full-time job at WTOV in Ohio. Dynasty of the Crossroads, his father, left the position to write a book about high school football in Steubenville, Ohio. He began working as a sportscaster at WRAZ in Raleigh, North Carolina, but was fired in 1995 after making what he calls a "very tame" joke about his conviction that O. J. Simpson was guilty.
He worked at various stations before being fired at WWTN in Nashville, Tennessee, where he was banned for using the word "nigger" on the radio. Ziegler has recalled this case as he referred to boxer Mike Tyson at a press conference, where Tyson referred to himself using the term. He started writing columns for The Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News, as well as co-hosted a talk show on Comcast's CN8 Television Network, which culminated in him receiving a regional Emmy award.
Ziegler was recruited by Louisville, Kentucky, radio station WHAS, in 2002, hoping to return to radio. His time with Darcie Divita, a former LA Lakers cheerleader and WDRB morning television host with whom Ziegler had a friendship before Divita broke up with him was over.
As an undergraduate at the University of Louisville, he joined forces with Louisville Democrat and current 3rd district legislator John Yarmuth to discuss political topics on the weekly WAVE program Yarmuth & Ziegler, with Yarmuth taking the progressive side and Ziegler taking the conservative route. This gig lasted from November to November of this year. Ziegler endorsed the Yarmuth election campaign for Kentucky's 3rd congressional district in 2006, both financially and as a political advisor. Yarmuth gained the seat of Congress by defeating Anne Northup, his current Republican rival.
Ziegler began working at KFI on January 12, 2004, as a late evening host. As both WHAS and KFI are owned by Clear Channel, this puts him in an unusual situation of being fired and rehired by the same company within a short time frame. On February 21, 2005, he took the 7-10 p.m. slot. He left KFI in November 2007.
