What Happened to Kennedy on Fox News?
Fox Business has decided to cancel the nightly program "Kennedy," hosted by Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, in the 7 p.m. time slot. The show will be replaced by reruns of Larry Kudlow's eponymous show. The final episode of "Kennedy" will air on Thursday. The program had a hiatus of seven months in 2020 due to the network's focus on pandemic crisis coverage.
Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, who has been a host on the show since 2015, will remain with Fox, as confirmed by a spokesperson. Known for her political libertarian views and background in pop culture as an MTV VJ, Montgomery is a frequent panelist on Fox News' "Outnumbered," a guest on "The Five," and hosts a podcast called "Kennedy Saves the World." Currently, she is on a comedy tour alongside Jimmy Failla from Fox News Radio.
On Fridays, the time slot will be filled by "Maria Bartiromo's Wall Street," and Broadcasting & Cable reported that "Barron's Roundtable" will replace "Wall Street Journal at Large with Gerry Baker" at 7:30 p.m. "Barron's Roundtable" currently airs on Saturdays at 10 a.m., while Gerry Baker will continue to contribute to Fox News Media.
Larry Kudlow, who previously served as an economic policy advisor and director of the National Economic Council under President Donald Trump, joined Fox in 2021 after his time at the White House. Kudlow faced controversy in his debut show when he was caught on a hot mic using inappropriate language while a clip of an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris aired, leading to an on-air apology.
Before his media career, Kudlow had a long history in politics, starting as a Democrat and later switching parties. He worked in the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan and was a senior contributor for CNBC, where he hosted "The Larry Kudlow Show" and a talk radio show on politics and economics on WABC.
