About Angie Larsen

Angie Larsen was born and raised in Salt Lake City, the oldest of five children. She attended Utah State University on a Theater/Academic scholarship then transferred to the University of Utah where she graduated with honors in broadcast journalism.

After interning with KTVX in 1997, Angie was hired as an associate producer. She was promoted to field producer, assignment editor, traffic reporter, and currently Host of the Emmy Award winning Good Things Utah and news reporter.

Angie loves what she does! What a joy it is to get paid to ski jump, ride in stunt planes, be a Jazz Dancer for a day, drive race cars, and tell the amazing stories of Utah’s finest.

Angie currently lives in Herriman with her energetic 4-year-old Luke and curious 18-month-old toddler Parker. Angie served five years as the publicity chairman for the Days of ‘47 Parade Committee and currently volunteers her time to many other community projects.

Spending time with family, movies, theater, thrill rides, baking, reading, and volleyball are on Angie’s list of treasured things to do. Food favorites include: steak, shrimp, pizza and anything sweet, especially homemade chocolate chip cookies. Angie is also just a tiny bit competitive. In fact her mom won’t challenge her to Scrabble anymore because she always draws the Z, J, and Q. (Honestly though, do you know how hard it is to not get stuck with the Q?)
