McEnany tweeted, “I am honored to share that I will be hosting Fox News Tonight on @FoxNews at 8pm ET all next week (5/8-5/12)! Set your DVR. Please join me next week as we dig into the state of politics, media, culture, and faith in America!”McEnany is the third Fox News personality to fill in as a temporary replacement for Carlson, who was fired on April 24. First it was Brian Kilmeade, who stepped in the day Carlson got the axe.
He lasted until April 28, a week largely defined by a 50% drop in viewership in the time slot. This week, Fox contributor Lawrence Jones took over, and while ratings haven’t yet come out, presumably it was more of the same. There may be some continuity between McEnany and Carlson, however.
He was fired for numerous reasons but they all tie back to the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit. Dominion sued Fox for repeatedly broadcasting lies that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump, particularly from some of its top rated hosts. Since joining Fox News as a full time co-host of “Outnumbered” in March 2021, McEnany hasn’t personally repeated those false claims, but in 2020, when she was still working for Donald Trump, she did so repeatedly.
Whoever ends up as the permanent host of Fox News’ 8 p.m. time slot will have big shoes to fill. “Tucker Carlson Tonight” not only routinely saw ratings of more than 3 million viewers, it also had the dubious distinction, as the New York Times’ put it, of being “the most racist show in the history of cable news.”

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said CNN is rebuilding itself to be a news network that presents “both sides” of every issue rather than an “advocacy network” — comments coming as CNN continues to face a backlash over the town hall with Donald Trump last week. Zaslav, speaking at the MoffettNathanson Technology, Media and Telecom Conference in New York, said that previously the overall impression of CNN’s brand was “left-leaning.” That’s now changing, he said, citing a new YouGov poll finding an 11-point improvement in U.S. viewers’ trust in CNN. “Our view is, there’s advocacy networks on either side. We have the best journalists in the world. We need to show both sides of every issue,” he said.
Fox News said that it is considering changes to its primetime lineup following the exit of Tucker Carlson, but it suggested that a report that Sean Hannity would fill the slot was premature.
