FOX News Channel (FNC) will debut a four episode midterm
election series hosted by The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro, announced
John Finley, senior vice president of development and production.
Entitled The Ben Shapiro Election Special, the series will run for
four consecutive weeks on Sundays from 8-9 PM/ET beginning on
September 23rd.
In making the announcement, Finley said, “Ben is a rising star
in conservative political commentary and we are excited to add his
signature style and well thought out viewpoint to our pre-election
weekend lineup.”
Shapiro added, “I am honored to partner with FOX News where we
can provide in-depth analysis on the voting trends that will be
leading the polls this November.”
Each Sunday, Shapiro will be joined by a panel of experts along
with influential guests to discuss the major headlines of the week
and their impact on the upcoming 2018 midterm elections. The one
hour program will also feature Shapiro’s unique political
commentary and analysis on the major issues affecting the younger
voting demographic this election season.
As the editor-in-chief of The Daily Wire and host of the
nationally syndicated radio program and podcast, "The Ben Shapiro
Show," Shapiro is one of the top conservative commentators in the
nation. The New York Times has referred to him as “the cool kid’s
philosopher” while The Washington Post has described him as “a foe
of extraordinary polemical agility.” A highly sought out public
speaker, Shapiro has appeared at numerous events throughout college
campuses across the country, consistently defending free speech and
open debate.
Hired by Creators Syndicate at the age of 17 to become the
youngest nationally syndicated columnist in the country, Shapiro is
one of the leading conservative voices in the nation, with columns
appearing in major newspapers and websites across the country. He
is the author of seven nonfiction books, including the New York
Times bestseller “Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and
Intimidation Silences America.” Shapiro earned a B.A. in Political
Science from UCLA in 2004 and his Juris Doctorate from Harvard Law
School in 2007.
