Fox News announced on Wednesday that Jimmy Failla will host FOX News Saturday Night with Jimmy Failla. The show is set to premiere on Saturday, January 13th, and will air weekly from 10 to 11 PM ET.
“As a former New York City cab driver, Jimmy is a classic American success story and a perfect fit for this role,” said Meade Cooper, Executive Vice President of Primetime Programming. “We look forward to watching him make America laugh on Saturday nights.”
Upon his debut as host, Failla plans to deliver a breather from the week’s serious news stories on Fox News, offering a blend of humor with different network personalities and diverse guests.
The show will present witty commentary on cultural, political, and lifestyle subjects that resonate with a global audience. Having premiered earlier this year, FOX News Saturday Night initially featured various hosts on a rotating basis, with Failla among them.
“FOX News Saturday Night is a show for everyone who realizes that our country doesn’t need more Republicans or more Democrats; it needs more comedy,” Failla said.
