The “Godfather of the Conservative Internet” now has a network television program. Benny Johnson debuted on Newsmax TV last week with his show called The Benny Report.
The 34-year-old got his start as an editor at BuzzFeed. He was fired following a plagiarism investigation. Shortly after that, he was hired by the National Review.
“If you’ve never experienced the world according to Benny, you’re in for a treat as this funny, quick-witted, viral storyteller shares his creative insights on the political world,” the network said in a statement.
Johnson serves as the chief creative officer for Turning Point USA, an organization that identifies, educates, trains, and organizes students to promote Conservative values.
“Here at the Benny Report, our mission is to keep our ruling class humble,” Johnson tweeted. “America is worth fighting for. We’re fighting with you.”
Newsmax TV launched in 2014 to 35 million subscribers. The network was created by reporter and businessman Christopher Ruddy.
The Benny Report airs Saturdays at 6:30 p.m. ET.
