BREAKING: Ben Shapiro just got his own Fox News TV show!

Fox News just announced that they’ve hired Ben Shapiro to host his own TV show on Sundays in the run-up to the midterm elections.

Here’s the lowdown:

THE WRAP – Fox News has hired conservative media publisher Ben Shapiro to host a four-episode series focusing on the 2018 midterm election, the network announced Monday.

“The Ben Shapiro Election Special” is slated to run on Sunday evenings at 8 pm beginning on Sept. 23.

“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,” John Finley, Fox’s senior vice president of development and production, said in a statement.

In a statement to TheWrap, Shapiro said he was looking forward to bringing his own signature brand of liberal-baiting commentary to the country’s most watched news network.

“This election is critical for the country, and it will be hotly-debated and contested from every angle,” he said via email. “I’m incredibly excited to bring facts, not feelings to the airwaves, and I’m excited that Fox News is partnering with us to do that!”

This is Shapiro’s first official affiliation with the network, though he frequently appears on the channel as a guest.

That’s pretty amazing news. I know it’s a short-term show but it’s probably just a test-run to see how Shapiro will do for the network. My guess is he will be a big draw and this will lead to even greater things for him in the future.

Also since it airs at 8pm, you don’t have to miss too much of Sunday Night Football by watching it.

Congrats Ben!
