Fox News Media announced her addition as part of an expanding lineup of younger, right-leaning voices.
The company operates cable networks Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network, as well as streaming services like Fox Nation.
Though Cooper wasn’t hired solely to attract a new demographic, insiders believe her Gen Z following could help pull in younger viewers, The Daily Mail reported.
According to Nielsen data, the average Fox News viewer is 69 years old.
As per a Morning Consult poll, only about 30 percent of Gen Z regularly watch broadcast or cable news, according to polling.

She also earned a minor in business from UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business.
Her acting credits include small roles in television and film.
She is also starring as Snow White in The Daily Wire’s upcoming live-action film.
Fox said Cooper will bring her “grounded perspective, sharp wit and distinctive takes” to its platforms.
Her commentary will cover culture, politics, and social issues through a conservative lens.
“I watched the media landscape change, and young people are just hungry for independent voices who are authentic and honest with their audiences,” Cooper said while appearing on Fox’s Jesse Watters Primetime in January 2025.
“They don’t want to hear from traditional pundits 24/7,” she said.
Lawrence Jones, Trey Yingst and Bill Melugin are among other young voices already on Fox’s talent roster.
