Sean Hannity Remains Cornerstone of Fox News Primetime


Sean Hannity, who has been with Fox News Channel since it launched in 1996, will stay put at 9 p.m. ET when the network’s revamped lineup launches on tonight, providing viewers with a bedrock in the middle of primetime. 

"The Ingraham Angle" with Laura Ingraham will kick things off at 7 p.m. ET, followed by "Jesse Watters Primetime" shifting to 8 p.m. ET. "Hannity" will remain at 9 p.m. ET, "Gutfeld!" will begin at 10 p.m. ET and Trace Gallagher will close out the network’s primetime coverage at 11 p.m. ET with "FOX News @ Night."

"I think each host will put their own special fingerprint on the network and on their shows that will offer, you know, great programing," Hannity said. "They’re all phenomenal."

Last year, Hannity broke a longstanding record previously held by famed talk show host Larry King to become the longest-running primetime cable news host in televion history. At the time, Hannity hosted a primetime program on Fox News for 25 consecutive years, six months and 15 days. He hasn’t slowed down, and the streak seems insurmountable in the modern cable news era.


 Hannity, who feels his success has been a result of hard work and determination, laughed when asked if his record is simply unbreakable.

"I really don’t think about it. If you would've made this bet in October 1996, it would have been the worst bet of your life that I would be in this position," he joked before taking a series turn. 

"Honestly, I'm grateful. I'm doing what I love. I'm in the best shape of my life. I train like a lunatic every day," Hannity said. "The way I live my life is very, very disciplined." 

Also, it was announced that Hannity will present a town hall with former President Donald Trump on Tuesday, July 18th from 9-10PM/ET in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. During the event, which will pre-tape earlier in the day at the Alliant Energy Powerhouse Arena, host Sean Hannity will take questions from the audience while discussing the 2024 presidential race, immigration, the economy and the overall state of the country with the former president.
