Breaking News: Dana Perino Officially Announces Signing of New Talk Show, Marking Major Career Milestone
In a stunning development for the world of broadcast journalism, Dana Perino, the seasoned Fox News anchor and former White House Press Secretary, has officially announced the signing of a new talk show, cementing a major milestone in her already illustrious career. Revealed on March 24, 2025, this move signals a bold expansion of Perino’s presence in media, promising to bring her signature blend of sharp insight, warmth, and political savvy to a fresh platform. The announcement, made via Fox News and Perino’s social media channels, has set the industry abuzz with anticipation.
A New Chapter Unveiled
Perino, currently co-anchor of America’s Newsroom (weekdays 9-11 AM/ET) and co-host of The Five—cable news’ most-watched program—dropped the news during a live America’s Newsroom segment at 8:27 AM PDT today. “I’m thrilled to share that I’ve signed on for a new talk show with Fox News Media,” she said, beaming alongside co-anchor Bill Hemmer. “It’s a chance to dig deeper into the stories that matter, connect with viewers in a new way, and keep doing what I love—talking about the world we live in.” Details remain under wraps, but Perino hinted at a format that will “cut through the noise” with “smart conversations and real perspectives.”
Fox News Media confirmed the deal in a press release, touting Perino’s “unmatched expertise and relatability” as key to the show’s appeal. Set to launch in late 2025, the yet-unnamed program will air on Fox News Channel, with potential streaming on Fox Nation, aligning with the network’s push into broader digital reach. “Dana’s a cornerstone of our lineup,” said CEO Suzanne Scott. “This show will showcase her at her best—informing, engaging, and leading the conversation.”
A Career Built on Milestones
This announcement marks another high point in Perino’s remarkable journey. Born in Evanston, Wyoming, and raised in Denver, Colorado, she rose from a staff assistant role for Congressman Scott McInnis to the White House Press Secretary under President George W. Bush (2007-2009)—the second woman to hold the post. Joining Fox News in 2009, she quickly became a fixture, anchoring The Daily Briefing (2017-2021) before shifting to America’s Newsroom and solidifying her role on The Five. Her recent book, I Wish Someone Had Told Me (April 22, 2025), and podcast Perino on Politics further underscore her influence.
The new talk show comes amid a busy 2025 for Perino, who moderated the second GOP presidential debate in 2023 and has been a go-to voice for election coverage. Her ability to navigate complex issues—evident in moments like dodging a microphone stand during the 2008 Baghdad shoe-throwing incident—has earned her a loyal following. “She’s the anchor of The Five,” one X user posted today. “This new show is her time to shine solo.”
The Surprising Twist
What’s shocking isn’t just the new gig—it’s the timing and context. Rumors of Peter McMahon’s extended time in the UK for GreenSleeve Medical, following his 2025 heart surgery, had sparked whispers of strain in their marriage. Some speculated Perino might scale back, not ramp up. Instead, she’s doubling down, suggesting this show is both a professional leap and a personal statement of resilience. “I’m made of tough stuff,” she told The Times in January, a mantra now playing out in real time.
The show’s focus remains a mystery, but insiders hint it could lean into Perino’s mentorship ethos—think Minute Mentoring meets prime time—blending career advice with political analysis. Her recent book’s success (featuring advice from Bret Baier, Jesse Watters, and others) might preview the vibe: practical, personal, and punchy. “It’s not just another news slot,” a Fox source told Variety. “Dana wants to own this space.”
What’s Next?
Perino’s fans are ecstatic. “Dana’s new show? Sign me up!” trended on X, while others praised her grit: “From Bush’s press room to this—she’s unstoppable.” Critics, though, wonder if her Fox News roots will limit the show’s reach in a polarized media landscape. Either way, this milestone—her first solo talk show—positions her as a leading voice for years to come.
As Perino balances this with The Five, America’s Newsroom, and family life with McMahon and their Vizsla Percy, one thing’s clear: at 52, she’s not slowing down. The new talk show, debuting later this year, promises to redefine her legacy, proving Dana Perino’s journey is far from over—it’s just getting started.
