His show will replace Greg Gutfeld’s weekend program, after the titular host’s new program “Gutfeld!” launched last month to record ratings in its weekday 11 p.m. timeslot.
In addition to his primetime role, Bongino will continue serving as host of Westwood One’s “The Dan Bongino Show.” FOX Nation will stream his daily radio program from 12-3 p.m. ET beginning May 25.
Gowdy, a former South Carolina Republican congressman and chairman of the House Oversight Committee, will break down legal and political news on his program, in addition to conducting interviews with decision-makers and Washington insiders.
Gowdy joined Fox News as a contributor in 2019 and hosts “The Trey Gowdy Podcast” on FOX News Audio.
Fox News will also present a pair of panel discussion shows, “The Big Saturday Show” and “The Big Sunday Show,” from 5-6 p.m. ET on weekends, featuring a rotating group of panelists discussing hot topics in news and culture.
