Billy Bush Joins Fox News Media as Contributor

Fox News Media has hired veteran entertainment broadcaster Billy Bush as a contributor, the company announced on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, with his debut scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern that same evening on Jesse Watters Primetime. Bush is expected to appear across Fox platforms and focus on culture and entertainment coverage, according to the announcement. In a statement released through Fox News Media, Bush said he is excited to join the network and its audience to share his perspective on the people, ideas and moments shaping today's culture as well as the ones trying to undo it. The role is structured as a contributor position rather than a new daily hosting assignment, and Fox has not announced that Bush will take over an existing program. He is expected to continue his independent ventures, including the digital program Hot Mics with Billy Bush, which covers sports, politics, entertainment, technology and popular culture. Bush, 54, is a nephew of the late President George H.W. Bush and a cousin of former President George W. Bush and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
