Fox News announced several new co-hosts for its popular shows, such as Fox & Friends Weekend.
The network also announced that it would cancel its long-running program, Media Buzz, which Howard Kurtz hosts.
Media Buzz first aired in 2013 and has since had 13 seasons.
The company also announced the launch of two new shows, titled Saturday in America and The Sunday Morning Briefing.
KAYLEIGH MCENANY
McEnany, 37, will now star in her own two-hour show, “Saturday in America.”
She previously worked in the Trump administration as a press secretary between 2020 and 2021
The former Trump staffer’s show will run on Saturdays from 10 am to 12 pm.
During the week, McEnany could be found as a co-host on Outnumbered, which airs weekdays at 12 pm.
McEnany graduated from Harvard Law School in 2016 and now guest hosts various Fox shows, including The Ingraham Angle, Jesse Watters Primetime, Hannity, The Five, and Fox & Friends.
Fans of McEnany’s were quick to congratulate her on her new show.
“Great news. Good to have something else worth watching on the Fox weekend at that time slot,” one fan wrote on X.

PETER DOOCY
Peter Doocy, 38, and Jacqui Henrich, 36, will anchor Fox News’ new show, The Sunday Briefing.
The show will analyze all activity in Washington DC, and go in depth on key issues impacting the current administration.
Both hosts have covered the White House since 2021.
Doocy began covering the White House in 2009 and was named senior White House correspondent in 2024.
He has covered every major election during his tenure at the channel.
“White House briefings have become must-see TV over the last few years and now, so is The Sunday Briefing,” he shared on X.
“See you a week from Sunday at 11am!”
This year has been a big one for Doocy as he announced the birth of his second child with fellow Fox News correspondent Hillary Vaughn in April.
“It has been such a blessing to welcome our son to this world and it is just as special to see Bridget welcome her baby brother George,” Vaughn said after the birth.
“Growing our family means giving our kids lifelong best friends and as a new heartbeat fills our home, our hearts are filled with more love than ever before.”
JACQUI HENRICH
Henrich joined the network in 2018 and covered her first campaign with Fox in 2020.
She was named a Congressional correspondent in 2021 and has since been promoted to a senior White House correspondent in 2024.
She holds degrees from The George Washington University, and Duke University.
The anchor is engaged to Pennsylvania congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, which she announced following the proposal in France.
“I love his brain,” she said.
“I love the way he approaches problem-solving and solving complex issues. He’s strong and a man of faith, who brings me closer to God.
“He’s sweet and gentle and kind — all of the easy qualities in a person that just make him a joy to be around and life brighter.”
JOHNNY JOEY JONES
Johnny Joey Jones and Tomi Lahren will join as two new co-hosts on The Big Weekend.
The show will extend its run by one hour, now premiering from five to eight pm.
