Meade Cooper, Fox News’s Executive Vice President of Primetime Programming, hit the jackpot with this selection. Failla's lightning-fast wit and down-to-earth humor make him a seamless fit for the role, showcasing his commitment to entertaining the American audience.
Not only will Failla take the helm as the host of FOX News Saturday Night, but he'll also indulge viewers with his comedy special, "Jimmy Failla: They’re Just Jokes," airing on Fox Nation. A delightful treat for Fox News enthusiasts! It appears the network is recognizing the universal desire for laughter over incessant political banter.
In Failla’s own words, “FOX News Saturday Night is a show for everyone who realizes that our country doesn’t need more Republicans or more Democrats — it needs more comedy.” This sentiment encapsulates Failla’s essence and what he brings to the table: the ability to unite through laughter, a much-needed ingredient in the network's current landscape.
Since his start as a writer in 2016 and subsequent transition to radio hosting in March 2020, Failla has consistently delivered entertainment and a refreshing viewpoint. His relatable persona, rooted in an unconventional background, resonates with audiences in a way that sets him apart from typical media figures.
