Over the years, CBN viewers have come to recognize Gailon Totheroh as a valuable asset in reporting on a variety of issues, especially current health and science issues.

Among the more than 450 stories he’s written, severak have generated high viewer interest. Recent popular reports have covered the dangers of MSG, adult stem cell treatments, the otherwise unreported benefits of vitamin C, longevity research on special forms of resveratrol, and the relative merits and risks of different types of seafood. He has also produced several investigative reports on such controversial issues as the development of "designer" embryos and the intelligent design movement.

Gailon also takes a keen interest in the Church in Eastern Europe, periodically reporting on developments there for Christian World News, a 30-minute newscast that airs nationally in multiple markets.

Before joining CBN News in 1988, Totheroh completed his M.A. in Public Affairs Journalism at Regent University. He grew up in Arizona and graduated from Phoenix College, with an A.A. in Chemistry, and the University of Arizona with a B.A. in German.

Gailon has also worked in public relations, human resources, property management, and publication research. He started working the CBN News department as a field producer, and soon became a reporter. He has served as a senior reporter since 2002.

Gailon and his family have been members of conservative Presbyterian denominations for the last 15 years.  He gives credit for any success to the Christian influence of his family and scholarly mentors Clifford Kelly in journalism and Joseph Kickasola and John M. Frame in theology. His father, the late Percy Totheroh, a professor of English, heavily influenced his love for language. Sola Dei Gloria.
