FNC Names Jimmy Failla Host Of ‘Fox News Saturday Night’ Beginning Jan. 13

Fox News Channel (FNC) has named Jimmy Failla the host of Fox News Saturday Night with Jimmy Failla, premiering on Saturday, Jan. 13, and airing weekly at 10-11 p.m. ET.

In addition, Fox Nation released a one-hour special today showcasing Failla’s recent stand-up comedy performance to a sold-out crowd on Long Island, titled Jimmy Failla: They’re Just Jokes. Failla will also take the helm as the next author for Fox News Books, launching Cancel Culture Dictionary, on Tues., Jan. 30. Failla will continue to host his nationally syndicated radio program Fox Across America (weekdays, noon-3 p.m.ET) on Fox News Audio.

In making the announcement, Meade Cooper, executive vice president of primetime programming, said: “As a former New York City cab driver, Jimmy is a classic American success story and a perfect fit for this role. We look forward to watching him make America laugh on Saturday nights.”

Failla added, “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.”

The network said: “Failla will aim to keep America laughing with a break from the hard news stories of the week, alongside FNC personalities and a wide range of guests. The program will deliver comedic commentary on cultural, political and lifestyle topics that people across the world are buzzing about. Fox News Saturday Night launched earlier this year and was previously helmed by a series of rotating hosts, including Failla.”

Failla’s Cancel Culture Dictionary, Fox News Books’ ninth tome, will make its debut on Jan. 30. The book is a collection of jokes and witty people whose stories guide readers to a world where they aren’t arguing about politics and can laugh with one another. A Fox Nation special to accompany the book will be released on Sunday, Jan. 28, as part of the streaming service’s comedy month.
