The 2024 Fox upfront presentation featured an appearance by Jamie Foxx in one of his first public appearances since his health crisis last year.
Foxx took to the stage and did his best to crack up the crowd of advertisers, a tall order considering the bar had yet to open. He gave it his all though, showcasing his trademark wit and charisma, reminding the attendees “You got free alcohol after this. Let’s get f—ed up!”
The host of the Fox competition series “Beat Shazam,” Foxx not only took the chance to plug his own series but also Fox shows like “The Masked Singer,” “Animal Control,” and the MLB’s upcoming Negro Leagues tribute game at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, for Fox Sports. Failing to get a satisfactory reaction from the crowd for that last programming note, Foxx asked the crowd, “Y’all won’t clap for the Negroes?...

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem embarked this week on one of the more tumultuous book tours in recent memory, as she was peppered with questions about an anecdote about killing her dog Cricket, and another story about meeting North Korean leader Kim Jung Un. Major doubts were raised that the latter story was true.
As she sought to promote No Going Back, she was peppered with questions in interviews with mainstream outlets like Face the Nation and NewsNation, but some of the most contentious Q&a have been with those on the right, like Fox Business’ Stuart Varney and Newsmax. The book was an obvious was of getting attention as Donald Trump considers potential running mates, but Rob Finnerty of Newsmax went so far as to tell her, directly, “I don’t even think you’re on the list.”
Now Noem has started to cancel media appearances.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley received over 156,000 votes in the Pennsylvania GOP primary election despite dropping out of the race in March, suggesting a significant protest vote among Republicans.
Haley won 16.5% of Pennsylvania’s primary vote on April 23.
She secured twice the number of votes by which Joe Biden beat Donald Trump in 2020.
Both parties are focusing on Pennsylvania since its 19 electoral votes make it a critical battleground state.
Tens of thousands of Republicans refused to vote for Trump even though he is the likely GOP nominee.
He won the primary race in the critical swing state with 83.5% of the vote, amounting to more than 786,000 votes.
Biden gained 90% of the Democratic vote in this primary election.
If the former South Carolina governor’s GOP supporters decide not to back the former president in November, it could swing Pennsylvania in Biden’s favor. This week, the Biden campaign increased outreach...

Jon Stewart called out Fox News on The Daily Show for their eclipse coverage with an immigration angle.
As North America prepared to witness the solar eclipse, Fox News warned viewers of the threat to the southern border that this represented.
“We are told that officials are bracing for higher traffic than usual and that means a real opportunity for smugglers and cartels and migrants to come right in,” Bill Hemmer said on the cable network after co-host Dana Perino said the eclipse would last about four minutes.
Stewart quipped, “Or they could just wait til nighttime.”
The Comedy Central host then questioned if there was anything Fox News couldn’t tie to immigration, mocking the anchors and saying, “This year’s cicada infestation provides perfect cover for Venezuelans.”
Later on in the show, Stewart had Christiane Amanpour as a guest who called the eclipse “beautiful.”

It’s eclipse day in America, and if you thought Fox News was going to act normal about it, you were wrong.
The right-wing news network wasted no time on Monday attempting to link the moon’s brief blotting out of the sun to migrant crossings at the Mexico border.
“Fox News alert! A rare celestial event collides with a policy failure on the ground. The southern border is directly in the path of totality today when the moon covers the sun,” host Dana Perino said during Monday’s broadcast of America’s Newsroom.

Greg Gutfeld isn’t your typical Fox News personality. But he is turning in to something that is more traditional at the Fox Corp.-backed cable outlet.
Fox News is expected to announce that it recently closed a deal with Gutfeld to extend his contract, a move that spotlights the host’s importance to the network’s operations even if he isn’t in the mold of a Sean Hannity or Laura Ingraham. Under the pact, Gutfeld will continue his co-hosting duties at the roundtable show “The Five” as well as his 10 p.m. program, “Gutfeld!,” a looser take on the issues of the day that marks a bid by Fox News to woo the younger TV viewers who might watch late-night programs such as “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on CBS or “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central. The third anniversary of the 10 p.m. program arrives Friday.

It was one year ago on Friday that The Wall Street Journal’s Evan Gershkovich was detained in Russia on espionage charges that the U.S. government has called “fiction.”
On Thursday, Gershkovich’s detention was extended by another three months, according to the Journal, as he awaits trial.
The Journal said in a statement, “It’s a ruling that ensures Evan will sit in a Russian prison well past one year. It was also Evan’s 12th court appearance, baseless proceedings that falsely portray him as something other than what he is—a journalist who was doing his job. He should never have been detained. Journalism is not a crime, and we continue to demand his immediate release.”
Gershkovich was detained on March 29, 2023 by Russia’s security service. It was the first time that Russia has charged an overseas reporter with spying since the end of the Cold War. The...

Nikki Haley cleaned Donald Trump’s clock in this hamlet — 6 votes to none.
As the day goes on, network correspondents are fanning out across the state at precincts to talk to actual voters, after months in which the first-in-the-nation primary was judged and assessed by polls. Commentary and analysis is focusing on whether
Haley and her top surrogate, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, blitzed the airwaves on Monday, while Trump held a final rally in Laconia, Nh, where he predicted that Haley would be out of the race after tonight. He was interrupted by climate protesters, who have been a frequent presence at events in recent days.

Media-wise, the 2024 presidential election crosses the official starting line with debate season, and this cycle the contenders on the Republican side, including a multiple-indicted former Potus, are looking to beat Democrat Joe Biden and take over the White House. But first they have to take on one another.
For the candidates, debates are a way to score points against a rival, stand out from the field or define a campaign that’s heretofore been rudderless.

Front-runner Trump has opted out of all the debates so far. In August, he instead decided to hold forth with Tucker Carlson in a more friendly pre-taped interview. That debate drew 12.8 million viewers on Fox News.

Have you heard it’s cold in Des Moines? The subzero temperatures are making Monday’s caucuses in Iowa the coldest on record, a running theme of coverage throughout the day and into this evening. It’s not trivial, as the frigid weather may very well impact turnout.
As Iowa’s first votes of the 2024 presidential race come in, expect a lot of analysis, punditry and prediction, even if the results represent just a sliver of the primary electorate. The Hawkeye state’s primacy as the first-in-the-nation often obscures the peculiarities of the caucus system, unless there is some kind of glitch, which is what happened four years ago with the Democrats.
That said, networks see the caucuses as the kickoff of what is hoped a spike in viewer interest in the presidential contest, as was seen in 2020 and 2016. All of the broadcast networks are planning for ongoing coverage of...

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said that he had an uneasy feeling about George Santos, facing an expulsion vote this week, before the 2022 election and even predicted to two Fox News anchors that “something is going to come out on this guy.”
In a Q&a at The New York Times’ DeadBook Summit, McCarthy said that he tried to get someone else to run in Santos’ New York district, but “he had already kind of locked down and you couldn’t beat him.” So as the House Republican leader, McCarthy did a fundraiser for him “and I’m doing it for everybody.”
“And I listened to him and I walked back and just say, ‘We shouldn’t fund this race. I don’t know what it is. But we shouldn’t fund this race.” He noted that the House GOP superPAC did not.

The one major political figure who spent more time than any other in the GOP debate Spin Room wasn’t even a Republican: California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Speaking for Joe Biden’s re-election campaign, Newsom sparred with Sean Hannity on Fox News’ Hannity, spoke with CNN’s Dana Bash and chatted with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. He answered questions about his own presidential ambitions, defended the state of California, praised the recent WGA-amptp agreement and even weighed in the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift situation. “It was the XFL, the Jv team,” Newsom said of the seven candidates who participated in the event.
Some of the actual candidates who appeared onstage did venture into the spin room for lengthy periods, including Vivek Ramaswamy, Tim Scott, Mike Pence and Doug Burghum, but Newsom also did a pre-debate round of Spin Room interviews to a swarm of reporters and camera crews.

The tone of the second Republican primary debate can best be summed up with a slip of the tongue from Vivek Ramaswamy: “Thank you for speaking while I’m interrupting.”
Over two chaotic, loud, and often unintelligible hours, seven candidates appeared onstage for a second round of jabs between presidential hopefuls — who at this point are all still fighting for second place. Fox News once again hosted the debate, tapping Stuart Varney, Dana Perino, and Univision’s Ilia Calderón as moderators. The trio struggled to maintain any semblance of control over the proceedings.

Update: Moderator Dana Perino tried to finish off the debate with a Survivor-style question: Write down their choice on who should drop out of the race, given that none of them would get the nomination over Donald Trump unless the field was thinned.
“Which one of you, tonight, should be voted off the island?” Perino asked.
Ron DeSantis, however, put a stop to it. “I think that is disrespectful to my fellow contenders.”
Chris Christie, however, seized on the question to argue that Donald Trump should be voted off the island.
“This guy has not only divided our party, he has divided families all over the country,” Christie said.
Previously: Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment — thou shall not speak ill of another Republican — has been cited during the debate but surely not followed.
As if realizing time was running out to make a mark, candidates came prepared to attack the others.

Former President Donald Trump again is bashing the prospect of another Republican presidential debate, falsely claiming that his absence has translated into low viewership.
In fact, when his rivals gather at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library for the second debate on Wednesday, the question will be whether the event on Fox Business and Univision can match last month’s figures for the first gathering: a higher-than-expected 12.8 million viewers.
Fox News’s Dana Perino, who will moderate the debate with Stuart Varney and Univision’s Ilia Calderón, suggested that the viewership reflected a willingness among voters to look at alternatives.
“I think there’s people who are open minded and they’re paying a lot of attention, and they care about the direction of this country and they’re worried about it,” Perino told Deadline.
“I think that the national level of anxiety is very high, in particular on a couple of issues,...

At Fox Business Network — for one night, at least — it’s all a lot more than the economy.
When the cable outlet televises a Republican primary debate on September 27, many of the strategies it used the last time it did so are going out the window. Gone are moderators Neil Cavuto and Maria Bartiromo, who have experience with such events. In their place: First-timers Stuart Varney and Dana Perino, alongside Univision’s Ilia Calderón. The network will also move away from its efforts to focus largely on business and economic topics, as it has in the past.

The first two guests will be Colin Reed, communications strategist and co-founder of South Hill Strategies, and Jim Geraghty, senior political correspondent for National Review.

Dana Perino has long relied on a panel of experts and trusted sources to help guide her sense of the political landscape. Now she’s going to let some followers listen to her conversations with them.
Fox News Audio will launch “Perino on Politics,” a new weekly podcast hosted by the co-host of Fox News Channel’s “The Five” and the co-anchor of its “America’s Newsroom.” The program, which will launch on August 21 — the week of the first debate among Republican presidential candidates — will last throughout the 2024 election cycle, Perino says.
“I would be making these calls anyway,” she says in a brief interview. “It’s like how I used to when I was White House Press Secretary. I would have my team come in and brief me on topics. I still do that today, just with a lot fewer consequences.”
Perino will each week talk to columnists, advisors, pollsters and political strategists.

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld had a bright idea Thursday on how U.S. cities could provide sanctuary to more than just migrants trying to escape the Gestapo-like Trump-era tactics of the immigration enforcement agency known simply as Ice.
Gutfeld, cool as ice as always on the roundtable show “The Five,” suggested the idea of sanctuary cities should be expanded to include other things — like protection for people with guns.
“This is why the United States is great, though. It’s federalism, Dana,” Gutfeld said, drawing in cohost Dana Perino while bringing into the conversation a centuries-old constitutional principle that was widely used to justify slavery. “It’s a terrain for beta testing, right? Every state can try out stuff.
“They should be trying out more stuff,” Gutfeld continued. “There should be sanctuary cities for people who want to have guns, right? ‘You come here with your gun!’ We’ll take — like,...

Cable news was again a study in contrasts on Thursday: Fox News carried a big portion of Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s testimony before a House committee, while CNN and MSNBC did not.
Kennedy’s candidacy — which seems to be embraced much more by the right than the left — also was highlighted with an interview later in the day on Fox News’ The Story with Martha MacCallum, while the political scion next week will sit for a town hall with Sean Hannity.
As a star witness before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Kennedy’s appearance was contentious from the start. After Republicans and Democrats sparred over his testimony and he gave his opening statement, Fox News anchors then gave him high marks for his debut before the panel.
“He dispensed with his written statement. He gave it passionately from the heart.

Geraldo Rivera is opening up about his recent departure from Fox News and how a “toxic relationship” with another host on The Five played a role in his firing.
Last month, it was announced that Rivera would be leaving the afternoon panel show. But the following week, he took to Twitter to reveal that he actually quit his job at Fox News after being “fired” from The Five.
During Thursday’s appearance on The View, Rivera didn’t identify who he “had a toxic relationship” with, but when asked if he felt that it was unfair that personal issues with a colleague on the show led to his exit, he responded, “Sure.”
“I also thought it was very unfair that I was not judged objectively in our disputes, but rather that he was always favored,” he explained. “I was the one…suspended three times. My appearances, I had two, three appearances scheduled weekly,...

“The Five” got all churned up over Ben & Jerrys’ holiday weekend tweet calling for the return of indigenous land, suggesting the Vermont company start with its own ice cream plants and noting that its product can also kill people – eventually.
Jeanine Pirro led the five-person primetime panel into the discussion Wednesday, quoting the company’s 4th of July tweet saying “This 4th of July, it’s high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it.” The tweet includes a link to sign a petition.
“They have factories where Native Americans, like the Abenakis, live in South Burlington, Vermont,” Pirro said. “Should they give that land back?”
For answers, she turned first to “Gutfeld!” host and “The Five” cohost Greg Gutfeld.
“Put their money where their mouth is, that’s what I say,” Gutfeld said. “You know, that’s funny, the entire world is based on conquest,...

Fox News journalist Geraldo Rivera is leaving his post on “The Five,” he announced Wednesday. In an interview with the Associated Press and an earlier tweet first announcing his decision, the longtime figure at the conservative news network said he was exiting the talk show due to “a growing tension that goes beyond editorial differences.”
“It has been a rocky ride but it has also been an exhilarating adventure that spanned quite a few years,” Rivera said on Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press. “I hope it’s not my last adventure.” Rivera, who joined the program in 2022, says he will remain with the network as a “correspondent at large.” His last appearances on “The Five” will be June 29 and June 30.

Following a Wednesday morning tweet revealing he was leaving The Five, Geraldo Rivera has issued a subsequent statement revealing he has quit the Fox News political commentary series rather than being booted. The veteran TV personality said appearing on the series was no longer “worth it to me.” The Five is a late-afternoon panelist program on Fox News that features conservative panelists Jeanine Pirro, Jesse Watters, Dana Perino, and Greg Gutfeld and rotating “liberal” panelists Rivera, Jessica Tarlov, and Harold Ford Jr. The latter three have served as rotating hosts since Juan Williams left the series in 2021.

She also measures in at 5-feet-tall, a fact not lost on “The Five” co-host Greg Gutfeld when he took the reins from Perino on Thursday during a roundtable discussion on the homeless crisis in New York City and Los Angeles.
“I agree to everything the little lady says,” Gutfeld said, half-pointing with his thumb to Perino, sitting directly to his right. “And I’m sorry about the cart.”
Perino had been telling a story in which she was forced off a New York City sidewalk by an apparent homeless person pushing a cart.

She not only recently became “Fox News Sunday”‘s first-ever female anchor, but she’s riding high off her third consecutive New York Times bestseller titled, “Love Stories of the Bible,” published by Fox News Books, where she is a founding author.
Bream joined Fox News in 2007 as a Washington D.C-based correspondent covering the Supreme Court. In addition to her role as Sunday anchor, Bream is a Chief Legal Correspondent for the network and host of “Livin’ the Bream,” a podcast on Fox News Radio where she shares inspirational stories, personal anecdotes and an insider’s perspective on actions and rulings from the high court.

Fox News “The Five” co-host Dana Perino says her 2012 appearance on a charity episode of “Jeopardy!” was nerve-wracking and humiliating — despite that her fellow contestant Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had the biggest unintentionally funny moments.
Cohost Jeanine Pirro relayed a viewer question from Facebook on Monday’s show, asking the panelists what game show they would like to appear on. Turns out, some of them had some experience at this — and not all of it good:
“I did ‘Jeopardy!’ for charity, and it was one of the most humiliating, most nerve-wracking things of my life,” Perino said. Asked if she blamed the game’s plunger like everyone else, she shook it off: “Also my mind.”
Perino appeared on a charity version of the show alongside Lakers great Abdul-Jabbar and Cnbs journalist David Faber in May of 2012. There were in fact a couple of embarrassing moments, but they came from the mouth of Abdul-Jabbar.

Andrew Ross Sorkin is the co-creator of the Showtime series “Billions,” but he isn’t really known for drama in his professional life, just financial reporting.
So it came as something of a surprise on Monday, when the CNBC and New York Times journalist got up on stage at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall to tout some of the dramatic fare that NBCUniversal was able to cobble together for the advertisers and media buyers assembled in the audience. It was all part of the industry’s annual “upfront,” when U.S. media companies try to sell the bulk of their advertising inventory before the release of their next cycle of programming.
In a typical year, audiences gathered for NBC might have expected to see Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon or a few cast members from “Saturday Night Live.” Perhaps an actor like Natasha Lyonne, starring in the Peacock series “Poker Face,...

In a year marked by unusual upfront presentations, Fox Corp.’s event on Monday afternoon might be the most unusual yet. Yes, the writers strike wreaked havoc on the fall schedule (and put a damper on the company’s scripted sizzle reels), but Fox also took the opportunity to look on the bright side, all while picketers circled outside.
“We all hope the writers strike will end soon, but we’re more than prepared to lean in to serve our audiences with a fantastic schedule of original unscripted content,” Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade told the assembled crowd.
And later on, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld referenced the strike by telling the crowd (via a live video feed) “I have the number one late night show. I also have the only late night show going right now. So you don’t have a choice,” he quipped. Gutfeld’s 11 p.m.

Fox News Media waved its banner during the Fox upfront Monday afternoon in New York, plugging a wide array of platforms but notably gliding past its main profit center in prime time.
Opinion shows like the one hosted by the recently ejected Tucker Carlson got only a glancing mention during the 7-minute segment. Carlson’s stunning exit earlier this spring has led to a steep and immediate drop in ratings for his former hour, though of course Fox News Channel makes a large share of its profits from distribution fees rather than relying as heavily on advertising as lower-rated rivals.
Jeff Collins, EVP of ad sales for the news division, brought onstage veteran hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino. After touching on the Fox News Channel, they took ad buyers on a briskly paced tour of divisions devoted to business, weather, audio and digital news.

Fox News host Jesse Watters is getting dragged online for claiming he could tell that a group of people he saw digging through bins looking for recyclables on his way to work was an “illegal immigration family.”
On the latest episode of Fox News’ roundtable talk series “The Five,” which features Watters, Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino, Jeanine Pirro and rotating hosts Jessica Tarlov, Geraldo Rivera and Harold Ford Jr., the group shared their thoughts on Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s reported migrant busing plan. According to reports, destinations include Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C. and Chicago — all run Black mayors, as NYC Mayor Eric Adams pointed out.
“The mayor here is complaining about a couple thousand, with more resources than any other city in the entire country? That’s ridiculous,” Watters said. “Now, I saw on the way into work an illegal immigration family digging through the trash looking for recyclables.

The greatest show Fox News has never put on is about to start.
Imagine a Fox News program that utilizes the talents of the no-nonsense news anchor Bret Baier along with those of the opinion host Tucker Carlson. One that also puts anchor “The Five” mainstays Dana Perino and Jeanine Pirro into the mix, along with business anchor and commentator Maria Bartiromo. One that features possible appearances by Fox News executives like Suzanne Scott, the CEO of the operation, and Jay Wallace, its top news executive. A program that tops it all off with a potential cameo by Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, two of the controlling shareholders of Fox News’ media-conglomerate parent, Fox Corporation.
If the most popular shows on Fox News Channel generate regular viewership of around 3 million, one has to wonder what a program with such an assemblage might capture.

A judge overseeing a much-scrutinized defamation trial brought by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News and its corporate parent has admonished attorneys for the media company several times this week in preliminary hearings and suggested Wednesday he may appoint an outside monitor to ensure Fox isn’t withholding evidence.
Judge Eric M. David of Delaware’s Superior Court suggested Wednesday that he might appoint a special master to probe whether Fox lied about withholding evidence after Dominion attorneys made a presentation about materials not given to them in the discovery process that they believe are warranted. Among those cited are recordings made by Abby Grossberg, a former Fox News producer who has been fired from the outlet in the wake of her filing a suit against Fox saying her testimony regarding Dominion had been coerced by the company’s attorneys. Grossberg recently said in a filing that she had recorded...

Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, Fox Corporation board member Paul Ryan and Fox Corp. executive Viet Dinh can be compelled to testify in Dominion’s upcoming defamation trial against Fox News, a judge said on Wednesday.
Delaware Judge Eric M. Davis said that Dominion would have to issue a trial subpoena to force such live testimony, but he would not quash it over issues of inconvenience or because they previously have sat for depositions. Davis cited court precedent that officers, directors and managing agents of a Delaware corporation can be compelled to appear.
“Both Fox and Dominion have made these four parties very relevant,” Davis said.
He added, “If Dominion wants to bring them live, they need to do a trial subpoena and I would not quash it and I would compel them to come.”
He also cited issues with Rupert Murdoch’s deposition and whether questions asked of him were clear or unfairly prejudicial.

Dominion Voting Systems’ whopping $1.6 billion defamation suit against Fox Corporation and Fox News is cleared to go to trial, despite the media company’s efforts.
Barring a settlement or other unforeseen circumstances, the voting technology company will get to have its attorneys grill Fox News anchors and Fox Corp. executives, Judge Eric M. Davis of Superior Court in State of Delaware ruled in a filing on Friday.
“The Court will allow this civil action to go to trial,” Davis said Friday.
At issue in the case are damages Dominion alleges it is owed after Fox News aired false claims about its actions and influence on the 2020 election. It is the second legal proceeding made against Fox News for its coverage of the aftermath of the 2020 race for the White House. Smartmatic, a separate voting technology company, has filed a massive $2.7 billion suit against Fox News. Both suits allege that Fox...
