Former Trump Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany Picked to Tryout for Tucker Carlson’s Old Time Slot
Kayleigh McEnany Gets a Tryout for Tucker Carlson's Fox News Time Slot
Fox News host and former Trump Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany will anchor Tucker Carlson's "Fox News Tonight" time slot, at least for a week.
McEnany will anchor the 8-9 p.m. hour for at least a week, starting Monday, May 8. It could go longer, as she’s slated to host the time slot for at least a week, TheWrap has confirmed.
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.
