As pressure mounts for the House Ethics Committee to release their report into allegations former Rep. Matt Gaetz had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl, new claims surfaced on Monday that Donald Trump’s Attorney General nominee paid two women in 2019 to travel to New York to have sex.

Former President Donald Trump has agreed to appear on the Fox News Channel’s late night talk program “Gutfeld!” on Wednesday, the network announced this week.

The program, hosted by Greg Gutfeld, will feature an in-studio appearance from the Republican presidential nominee for the White House, a spokesperson said in a statement.

Harris Faulkner is Mia on Fox and fans want to know why. After being such a prominent figure on the network for many years, fans are missing her. They have expressed hope that she is just on vacation or working on other projects and will be back soon.

Who is Harris Faulkner?

After not appearing on shows like Outnumbered, it became probable that it was more than just missing an episode or two. Harris Faulkner is a newscaster and television host appearing on Fox since 2005. Faulkner began as a correspondent and primetime newsbreaker at Fox before becoming an anchor for Fox Report Weekend from 2011 to 2017.

Donald Trump is set to take part in a Q&a with Black political journalists as part of the 2024 National Association of Black Journalists Convention and Career Fair in Chicago. The news has created a furious backlash on social media, with a number of prominent Black journalists decrying the move.

The talk will be moderated by Rachel Scott, senior congressional correspondent for ABC News; Harris Faulkner, anchor of The Faulkner Focus and co-host of Outnumbered on Fox News; and Kadia Goba, politics reporter at Semafor.

The event will not be open to the public but will be live-streamed on the Nabj’s YouTube and Facebook channels.

“Outnumbered” Returns to BBC One for a Christmas Reunion...

BBC’s hit comedy Outnumbered is making a comeback after eight years with a brand-new Christmas Special. More on it below.

BBC has announced today that Outnumbered, their hit comedy, is coming back for a Christmas Special this year. The news come to us from BBC Comedy Festival which is being held at Glasgow, where Deadline was present to catch the announcement live.

Created by Guy Jenkin and Andy Hamilton, Outnumbered ran from 2007 to 2014 and returned for a one-off Christmas Special in 2016. The semi-improv comedy followed the Brockman family, consisting of dad Pete, mum Sue and kids Jake, Ben and Karen. The series was produced by Hat Trick Productions.

The Christmas Special will see the kids all grown up and Pete and Sue coming to terms with an empty nest. According to Deadline, the special will focus on the challenges of parenting your kids after they’ve grown up in a downsized home.

Iconic BBC comedy Outnumbered is returning for a Christmas special after eight years.

Guy Jenkin and Andy Hamilton’s semi-improv comedy about a family perennially in crisis starring Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner joins the final Gavin & Stacey in what could be one of the BBC’s most-anticipated Christmas comedy lineups for years.

The news has been unveiled at the BBC Comedy Festival in Glasgow in the past few minutes by comedy boss Jon Petrie, who also announced second seasons of The Power of Parker and Mammoth, along with new shows Smoggie Queens and Funboys.

The stars of the original Outnumbered will return for the special including Dennis as dad Pete, Skinner as mum Sue, Tyger Drew-Honey as eldest son Jake, Daniel Roche as the middle child Ben, and Ramona Marquez as daughter Karen.

The kids have now grown up, and the Christmas ep will focus on the chaos of...

Donald Trump became the 45th president of the United States on a promise to “Make America Great Again.” But a preeminent group of political scientists that Trump would no doubt characterize as “haters and losers” has once again ranked him as the worst commander-in-chief in the nation’s history.

The 2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey was conducted at the end of 2023 among members of the Presidents & Executive Politics Section of the American Political Science Association — a group that publishes multiple academic journals — and scholars who have lately published peer-reviewed papers related to presidential politics.

From the co-creator of Outnumbered comes a historical comedy called Fools, with Karen Gillan leading the cast. More here.

Karen Gillan’s just gone and signed up a new lead screen role, as she’s set to head the ensemble of the upcoming historical comedy, Fools.

The movie has been written and directed by Guy Jenkin, whose credits include Outnumbered and its sort of spin-off film, What We Did On Our Holiday. He’s attracted quite a cast too, on top of Karen Gillan’s headline act.

Alongside her are award-winner Pasty Ferran, the mighty Brenda Blethyn, and the peerless Jim Broadbent.

Karen Gillan – famous of course for Doctor Who, her Marvel work, Jumanji, and appearing on the cover of Film Stories magazine – will be playing Queen Mary I, in a story set just after the death of Henry VIII. Broadbent is Cardinal Pole (begging your pardon), whilst Patsy Ferran...

Karen Gillan (Avengers Endgame) will play Mary Tudor in Fools, an upcoming period comedy about the monarch’s friendship with her female court jester. Patsy Ferran (Hot Milk) is the jester in the little-known historical tale. BAFTA- and Emmy-winning Guy Jenkin (Outnumbered) will direct from his own script.

Brenda Blethyn (Secrets & Lies) will also star, as will Jim Broadent (Moulin Rouge), who plays a scheming Cardinal.

The film is set in 1553. England’s first Queen, Mary I, takes the throne. The country is on the brink of chaos, and the ambitious Cardinal Pole plots to secure control. He has overlooked, however, a humble court jester. The pious, and apparently humorless queen finds relief in her brilliant slapstick routines and they strike up an unlikely friendship.

Cameras are set to roll later this year. Ryan Bennett of PaperEpic Productions will produce. Altitude Film Sales will handle international sales, starting at the European Film Market.

Karen Gillan, Patsy Ferran, Brenda Blethyn and Jim Broadbent have joined the cast of Fools, a comedy drama that explores the little-known story of Mary Tudor and her friendship with her female court jester.

UK outfit Altitude Film Sales will handle international sales, with UTA co-repping North America.

Guy Jenkin, known for his work on UK sitcoms including Outnumbered and Drop The Dead Donkey, will direct from his own script. “Fools will turn the conventions of a historical film inside-out, and promises to be subversive, striking and very funny,” said the filmmaker.

The feature is set in 1553, as the aftermath...

Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany took an obtuse approach Wednesday to covering Donald Trump’s win in the New Hampshire primary — and the lies he told in his victory speech — focusing instead on how other news networks covered the comments.

McEnany, in the opening segment of her “Outnumbered” news talk show, attempted to shame MSNBC and CNN for not similarly covering President Joe Biden’s speeches.

“The media, they had a rather interesting decision to double down on not showing President Trump’s victory speech in full,” McEnany said before greeting her viewers and introducing fellow “Outnumbered” panelists Emily Compagno and Harris Faulkner. They were also joined by guests: former Michigan gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon and Democratic campaign strategist Kevin Walling.

Trump’s former press secretary then opened the segment in earnest with a brief clip of Trump’s blustering speech Tuesday night after he was declared the winner of...

It’s here, the newest Netflix thriller adapted from one of Harlan Coben’s ludicrously twist-packed, secret-filled crime mystery novels. This one comes adapted by Danny Brocklehurst with the same UK team that made The Five, Safe, The Stranger and Stay Close, and once again stars Richard Armitage in a central role.

Fool Me Once is the story of military helicopter pilot Maya Stern, a captain who loses her career in a scandal and suffers two bereavements in short succession. It’s fast-paced, kind of ridiculous viewing that takes you down an extremely twisty path before tying everything up in a big not-exactly-watertight-but-it’ll-do-fine knot – which makes it pretty perfect viewing for a brain-fogged New Year’s Day after all of December’s indulgences.

Find out more about the cast of this one below, and happy binge-watching!

Kelly Johnson, the wife of new House Speaker, Mike Johnson believes her husband’s new role is religiously connected.

In Kayleigh McEnany’s latest Fox News segment “Outnumbered,” which you can watch above, the political commentator interviewed Mike and his wife after Republicans named him the new House speaker. They also opened up about how people’s opinions about their religious beliefs.

“I recently got the chance to sit down with new House Speaker Mike Johnson, and his wife Kelly. We discussed the changes in their lives since Johnson took the gabble, as well as the repeated attacks on their family and their Christian faith,” McEnany said to preface the upcoming clip of her interview.

McEnany started her first question to couple by mentioning that she personally felt she’d also been subjected to public scrutiny over her choice to express her religious faith, and inquired with Johnson how it...

The Kansas City Chiefs delivered a blowout win against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, but it wasn’t the score that left fans breathless. The internet broke over the all-but-confirmation that one Ms. Americana — Taylor Swift — and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce are starting their very own love story. Swift was spotted enthusiastically cheering on Kelce from a private box at Arrowhead Stadium, in the company of Kelce’s mother, Donna. The pair were later spotted together in the stadium and drove off to dinner in Kelce’s own getaway car.

Fox News executive John Finley, fired last week after more than two decades with the network, was pushed out after a woman alleged she was sexually harassed and stalked, according to a Friday report by Mediaite citing sources it did not name.

The network said Finley was fired for violating company standards, but did not clarify what those standards were. “Fox News Media and John Finley have parted ways after an independent investigation concluded that he had violated certain standards of business conduct,” a Fox News spokesperson told TheWrap.

A recent investigation conducted by an outside law firm resulted in Finley being placed on leave from his role as executive vice president of development. He was subsequently fired.

Mediaite reports that a woman who was not an employee of Fox but has worked on projects for Fox Nation, which was helmed by Finley, had reached an undisclosed settlement with the network.

A senior Fox News executive has exited the company following an investigation into violation of business conduct.

John Finley, who had been executive vice president of development, had been with the network for more than 20 years.

“Fox News Media and John Finley have parted ways after an independent investigation concluded that he had violated certain standards of business conduct,” said a Fox News spokesperson. The company did not elaborate, but The Washington Post, citing an unnamed source familiar with the investigation, reported that it had to do with the use of his position to benefit someone over whom he had influence. Finley did not respond to a request for comment.

Finley played a large role in the launch of Fox Nation, the network’s subscription streaming service, in 2018, and previously helped create some of Fox News’s signature shows, including its top rated series The Five, as well as Hannity,...

Jen Psaki will expand her show to Monday nights on MSNBC, when she will host the 8 p.m. Et hour currently occupied by All In with Chris Hayes.

Inside with Jen Psaki will appear on Mondays starting on September 25. She also will continue to host the show at noon on Sundays and write a regular column for the network’s morning newsletter MSNBC Daily.

Hayes will continue to host his show, which marked its 10-year anniversary in April, in the primetime slot from Tuesdays to Fridays. The network has filled Mondays on his show with a rotating series of hosts over the past year as Hayes embarks on other projects, including a podcast and live events.

Psaki’s show debuted March 19 and won its time slot among cable news shows last month. Among its recurring features is a segment called “Weekend Routine,” in which she shadows lawmakers and other notable figures throughout their usual routines.

Geraldo Rivera has called Fox News his home since leaving CNBC in 2001 to join the cable outlet as its ostensible war correspondent. He appears to have a lost a recent battle.

After being ousted from a rotation on “The Five,” Rivera said in a video post on Twitter Thursday, he is leaving Fox News. “I’ve been fired from ‘The Five,’ and as a result, I quit Fox,” the veteran TV personality said, while riding a boat. He said he might appear on “Fox & Friends” Friday to offer more comment, but would not be appearing on “The Five” one last time, as he had previously indicated he would.

“We reached an amicable conclusion with Geraldo over the past few weeks, and look forward to celebrating him tomorrow on ‘Fox & Friends,’ which will be his last appearance on the network,” Fox News said in a statement Thursday evening.

Warning: This contains spoilers for Not Going Out

Back in 2015, during a BBC Breakfast interview about series seven of Not Going Out, presenter Bill Turnbull asked Lee Mack: “Did you ever imagine when you first got that pilot that you’d get seven series?”

“I didn’t think we’d even get a series,” Mack answers incredulously, explaining that even going from script to a pilot episode felt like “the biggest hurdle”.

And yet, eight years later (17 since the show began in 2006), Not Going Out has now almost doubled its series from seven to 13, still regularly pulling in audiences of over four million, with the newest series arriving on BBC One on Friday 23rd June at 9pm. As ever, the show will focus on Lee Mack as a fictionalised version of himself, alongside his landlady-turned-wife and sparring partner Lucy, and their eventful and often farcical life together.

After a year and a half of sitting in with The Five, Fox News Correspondent Geraldo Rivera is officially leaving the program.

The co-host broke the news himself on Twitter Wednesday writing, “I’m off @TheFive. My last scheduled show appearances are Thursday and Friday, June 29th and 30th. It’s been a great run and I appreciate having had the opportunity. Being odd man out isn’t always easy.”

Loquacious Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera will soon have less to talk about.

The veteran will leave his slot as one of the “liberal” panelists on “The Five,” he announced via Twitter on Wednesday, ceding ground, presumably, to Jessica Tarlov and Harold Ford, Jr., the two other personalities who regularly occupy the seat on the show. “The Five” is Fox News Channel’s most-watched program, and executives are known to take a distinct interest in how the panelists mesh on screen.

“Morning, it’s official, I’m off @TheFive,” Rivera posted. “My last scheduled show appearances are Thursday and Friday June 29th and 30th. It’s been a great run and I appreciate having had the opportunity. Being odd man out isn’t always easy. For the time being, I’m still Correspondent at Large.”

A spokesperson for Fox News could not be reached for immediate comment on Rivera’s status at the network.

Fox Business is shutting down “Kennedy,” the nightly program hosted by Lisa Kennedy Montgomery in the 7 p.m. time slot, and replacing it with reruns of Larry Kudlow’s namesake show.

“Kennedy” will air for the last time on Thursday. The show had a seven-month hiatus in 2020, with the network citing “the demands of the evolving pandemic crisis coverage” at the time.

Montgomery, a host since 2015, will remain with Fox, a spokesperson confirmed to TheWrap. The political libertarian has a background in pop culture that includes experience as an MTV VJ, is a frequent panelist on Fox News’ “Outnumbered” and guests on “The Five,” and also has a podcast, “Kennedy Saves the World.” She is currently on a comedy tour with Jimmy Failla of Fox News Radio.

“Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street” fills the time slot on Fridays, which will also see “Barron’s Roundtable” replace “Wall Street Journal at Large with Gerry Baker,...

The hosts continue to rotate in Tucker Carlson‘s former Fox News slot as the network looks for a permanent replacement for the controversial host, who exited last month. Former White House Press Secretary and Donald Trump 2020 spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany will take over the 8 pm Et time slot next week. McEnany, who began her media career as a producer for Huckabee on Fox News and now frequently co-hosts Outnumbered, is set to host for five days, starting May 8. “I am honored to share that I will be hosting Fox News Tonight on Fox News at 8pm Et all next week (5/8-5/12)! “Set your DVR,” McEnany tweeted on Thursday (May 4) afternoon. “Please join me next week as we dig into the state of politics, media, culture, and faith in America.” 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.

Fox News is still holding tryouts for the 8 p.m. time slot left vacant when it fired Tucker Carlson last month. And the latest conservative media star to get a shot at what used to be the network’s most valuable primetime real estate is former Trump press secretary, and current Fox News host, Kayleigh McEnany.

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.

Shortly after the news became public, 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!”

The on-air auditions to be Tucker Carlson’s replacement now are drawing from Donald Trump’s White House.

Former Press Secretary and Trump 2020 spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany will be taking over the fired Carlson’s 8 Pm Et slot next week. It’s the third such replacement for the Rupert Murdoch-owned cable newser’s most watched host in as many weeks. Fox News is trying to crawl out of the ratings crater its primetime has been in since the Tucker Carlson Tonight frontman was unceremoniously shown the door on April 24, soon after the channel settled a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million over false 2020 election claims.

Mediaite reported that Spicer decided to leave the network after negotiations on a new contract fell apart. Co-host Lyndsay Keith departed last month.

A spokesperson for Newsmax said, “In preparation for new programming, we decided to not continue Spicer & Co. with hosts Lyndsay Keith and Sean Spicer. The network wishes them both well in their new endeavors.”

The show was launched in March 2020. After his White House stint, Spicer had, among other things, served...

In a bright, wide-open studio at Fox News’ Manhattan headquarters, where cable-news programs often stick to tried-and-true formats, Dagen McDowell and Sean Duffy are trying something a little unexpected: an experiment.

Larry Kudlow just wrapped his after-market Fox Business program, and the duo are taking advantage of the empty facility to rehearse banter for their new show, “Bottom Line,” slated to debut Monday evening at 6 p.m. Sure, they strike familiar chords, with a segment that examines how President Joe Biden’s White House has grappled with continued revelations of classified documents being found in his offices that eventually segues into a discussion of his son, Hunter Biden. But McDowell, a longtime correspondent, and Duffy, the former Republican Congressman from Wisconsin. are also trying to create new music.

“We definitely think about the world in the same way,” says McDowell, during a recent interview.

Fox Business Network is adding two new shows to its daily lineup starting on Jan. 23.

The Big Money Show, slated for the 1 Pm Et hour, will feature breaking financial news and analysis, with Bloomberg TV’s Taylor Riggs joining the network to co-host with Brian Brenberg and Jackie DeAngelis. The show takes the place of the second hour of Cavuto Coast to Coast. Neil Cavuto will continue in the noon Et hour, as well as at 4 Pm Et on Fox News and on weekends.

Brenberg joined the network in 2020 as a contributor and is executive vice president and professor of business and economics at The King’s College. DeAngelis joined Fox Business as a correspondent in 2019 and, before that, was chief energy correspondent at CNBC as well as the anchor of an online commodities program. Riggs co-anchored a daily program on Bloomberg Television and covered equities, bonds, currencies and commodities.

Fox Business plans to launch a new daytime roundtable program called “The Big Money Show,” a nod to the success the format has has across the holdings of Fox News Media.

Taylor Riggs, who has been with Bloomberg for more nine years as an editor, reporter and anchor, will join the Fox Corp.-backed cable-news outlet to co-host “The Big Money Show” alongside Brian Brenberg and Jackie DeAngelis between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Fox Business will also launch on the same date a new 6 p.m. program called “The Bottom Line” that will feature the duo of Dagen McDowell, a longtime Fox Business reporter, and Sean Duffy, the former Republican congressman from Wisconsin.

Most TV networks hope to inform voters about how their ballots affected the course of an election session. Fox News will do more with them. Faulkner will be stationed with as many as 25 to 30 voters from various walks of life and will be ready to quiz them on their reactions as the night proceeds.

The anchors of Fox Business Network have long delivered the latest business headlines. Now some may be getting ready to debate them, too.

Fox Business is preparing to launch a new discussion program that aims to emulate some of the biggest programing hits in recent years on its sibling, Fox News Channel, where so-called “roundtable” shows have fast become a staple of its schedule. The shows can serve to develop personalities who find themselves leading their own hours within a few years, as has been the case for Greg Gutfeld, who helped launch the late-afternoon program “The Five” and now also leads a late-night program at 11 p.m.

“We have had a ton of success on Fox News side with shows like ‘Outnumbered’ and ‘The Five,’” says Lauren Petterson, the president of Fox Business Network, in an interview, adding: “We want to try and take that format and replicate it on the Fox Business Network,...

Former Fox News and Fox Business Network commentator Melissa Francis learned she had been fired in October 2020 after reading “you’ve been canceled” on her Teleprompter moments before her show was to go live, she told Megyn Kelly on Friday.

Francis, who was working from a studio the network had set up at her house during the Covid lockdown, was preparing to do an upcoming newscast when she read on the Teleprompter that she wasn’t needed anymore, she said on the SiriusXM radio program, “The Megyn Kelly Show.”

At the time, she was a co-host of one of Fox’s biggest daytime shows, “Outnumbered,” and had been negotiating for a raise to match the salaries of her male counterparts.

Nominated by former President Ronald Reagan for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Washington, D.C., circuit, Starr was U.S. solicitor general under President George H.W. Bush. He received his greatest public attention – political opponents might say infamy – as independent counsel during the Clinton Administration. Starr had initially been appointed to investigate the suicide of deputy White House counsel Vince Foster and the Whitewater real estate investments of Clinton.

The investigation would grow to encompass much more than its initial mission: After Clinton denied having “sexual relations” with former intern Monica Lewinsky, allegations of perjury...

When President Joe Biden last week cited a report of a 10-year-old Ohio rape victim forced to travel out of state to Indiana to obtain an abortion, it quickly made national headlines in the heated environment following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe Vs. Wade.

In the days that followed, the story went viral, first as an example of the realities of new state abortion restrictions, then with doubts cast on the story by commentators on the right, such as Fox News’ Jesse Watters, who said Monday that if the story was not accurate, the mainstream media and Biden would be “seizing on another hoax.”

Hosts and pundits on Outnumbered joined in the doubting.

But on Wednesday, the Columbus Dispatch reported that 27-year-old Gershon Fuentes had been arrested in the case. Ohio’s Attorney General Dave Yost, who on Monday told Watters that his office had not heard “a whisper” of the case,...

Fox News has agreed to pay former host Melissa Francis a 15 million settlement after she accused the network of gender pay disparity and was ultimately taken off the air, the Washington Post reported Sunday.

The news comes six months into the New York State Department of Labor’s investigation into her complaint that Fox News retaliated against her for speaking up about the discriminatory practice.

In 2012, Francis left her post covering financial news for CNBC to become an anchor at Fox Business. About five years into her tenure, she was promoted to co-anchor of Fox News’ midday show “Outnumbered,” while continuing to co-host Fox Business’ “After The Bell” and making occasional appearances on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

If White House press secretary Jen Psaki joins MSNBC as expected, she will be the second Biden official to land at the NBCUniversal-owned network in the space of less than a year. She will join Symone Sanders, a former campaign adviser to President Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders, at MSNBC, where she is taking on a weekend show that will also have a streaming presence.

Psaki declined to discuss her negotiations with MSNBC Friday during a White House press briefing, but two people familiar with the matter say she has been weighing potential roles with both CNN and MSNBC and should surface at the latter by autumn.
