Fox News may have found the perfect replacement to fill the void left by Tucker Carlson. The network has been rotating hosts week after week in search of the perfect host to replace the anchor. Now it is Kayleigh McEnany's turn to try her luck. She announced the news on her social media accounts:
I am honored to share that I will be hosting Fox News Tonight on @FoxNews at 8pm ET all next week (5/8-5/12)! Set your DVR.
Please join me next week as we dig into the state of politics, media, culture, and faith in America!https://t.co/8JtJZwo9zf

Her extensive political background is certainly a plus. She served as White House press secretary during the Trump administration. Once her time in Washington was over, Fox hired her to co-host the daytime show Outnumbered, where she is one of the regular female hosts. The program has a different male guest on every episode.
Now it's her turn to try her luck in the time slot formerly occupied by Tucker Carlson. Before her, the television network tried to replace the legendary host with Brian Kilmeade and Lawrence Jones. Neither were able to come close to Carlson's ratings which dropped a few weeks ago when the network announced that he had been fired.
Since then, the network has been trying to recover from this blow, not only by trying to maintain its ratings but, at the same time, looking for the perfect replacement for Carlson. Could it be Kayleigh McEnany? Next week's ratings will reveal whether she is the one or if Fox will have to continue its search.
