Per Fox, The Will Cain Show will debut on Tuesday, Jan. 21—the day after President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Cain plans to bring his podcast style to analysis of big news events and interviews with notable figures from the worlds of politics, business, culture, and sports.
“Will Cain brings years of experience to the 4 p.m. hour as an accomplished broadcaster and a lawyer,” Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said in a statement. “We look forward to adding his insights to what will no doubt be another historic news cycle ahead this year.”
In his own statement, Cain said: “It has been an honor to wake up with America these past four years, and I am thrilled to apply my background in news, law, entertainment, and business to help our viewers better understand the headlines through thought-provoking content and analysis every weekday afternoon.”
