Lisa Ling Biography
Lisa Ling is the Executive Producer and host of "This is Life" on CNN, now its eighth season. For the show, Ling has embedded with a notorious biker club and explored the medicinal use of psychedelics in psychotherapy.
For five seasons prior, Ling EP’d and hosted "Our America" on OWN. She was also a field correspondent for "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and contributor to ABC News' "Nightline." For these shows she reported from dozens of countries; covering stories about gang rape in the Congo, bride burning in India and the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda, among other issues that are too often ignored.
Ling was the first female host of National Geographic’s flagship show "Explorer" which sent her to cover the phenomenon of female suicide bombing, the spread of the MS-13 gang—considered the world’s most dangerous gang, and the humanitarian crisis inside North Korea.
She got her start in journalism as a correspondent for Channel One News where she covered the civil war in Afghanistan at 21 years of age. She later went to become a co-host of ABC Daytime's hit show "The View," which won its first daytime Emmy during her time at the show.
Ling is the co-author of "Mother, Sister. Daughter, Bride: Rituals of Womanhood," and "Somewhere Inside: One Sister’s Captivity in North Korea and The Other’s Fight to Bring Her Home" that she penned with her sister Laura.
In 2014, President Obama appointed Ling to the Commission on White House Fellows. She is an advisory board member for Fostering Media Connections, The Amani Project, and a Baby2Baby angel.
Ling lives in Santa Monica with her husband Paul Song and daughters Jett and Ray.
