Hosts Harris Faulkner, Emily Compagno, Kayleigh McEnany and a rotating female panelist with one guest male panelist (hence the show's gimmick, called "one lucky guy") discuss the news and issues of the day.[1]

Former co-hosts[edit]

  • Andrea Tantaros – a full-time co-host from early 2015 through April 2016. She says that she was forced off the show because of repeated complaints about sexual harassment by former Fox News head Roger Ailes, while Fox News lawyers say that she was suspended because they weren't given a chance to vet her book that was published on April 26, 2016.[4] Was replaced by Meghan McCain.
  • Stacey Dash – a semi-regular host early in the program's history, but was seen less frequently as time progressed, and eventually left Fox News after her contract lapsed.
  • Jedediah Bila — a prominent semi-regular co-host from the shows inception, left Fox News in 2016 to join The View. She returned to Fox two years later as a contributor and was named Fox & Friends Weekend co-host in 2019, but parted ways with the network again in May 2021.[5]
  • Julie Roginsky – former semi-regular host and Fox News contributor, Roginsky filed a lawsuit against the network in 2017. Like Tantaros, she alleged sexual harassment by Roger Ailes.[6]

She was a semi-regular host since she was hired by Fox News in July 2015.[7] The daughter of the late U.S. Senator John McCain, she took a break from the show following her father's cancer diagnosis before leaving the network. In October 2017, McCain joined ABC's The View. She was replaced by Melissa Francis. McCain now writes for The Daily Mail.
  • Sandra Smith – an original co-host of the program, she left the show in 2018 when she became a co-anchor of America's Newsroom and that show's subsequent expansion to three hours in June 2018. She is now the Co anchor of "America Reports" with John Roberts
  • Melissa Francis – Former Little House on the Prairie star (as Cassandra Cooper Ingalls), former co-host of CNBC's The Call, and co-anchor of After The Bell on Fox Business.

  • Marie Harf – a semi-regular liberal co-host and a Fox News contributor, stopped making appearances on the show after December 10, 2020 following an on air argument with host Harris Faulkner over COVID-19 deaths. She makes rare appearances on other shows throughout the Network.[10]
