Charlie Kirk to Guest Host ‘FOX & Friends Weekend’ on Fox News

FOX & Friends Weekend — the Fox News weekend morning show — will have a familiar face guest hosting the program this weekend: Charlie Kirk.

The Turning Point USA founder will appear as a guest host on the Saturday and Sunday editions of the program this weekend.

Charlie Kirk will join Rachel Campos-Duffy and Charlie Hurt on the Fox News program this weekend. That news was first reported by Axios.

Kirk has grown his podcast to become one of the most-listened-to programs in the genre. According to data from Triton Digital, Kirk’s podcast rose into the top five of the Top Podcasts By Weekly Average Downloads category during June. In addition to his podcast and operating the Turning Point USA group, Kirk also hosts a nationally syndicated radio show with the Salem Radio Network.

The news that Kirk will guest host FOX & Friends Weekend comes a week after Kirk’s organization hosted a large conference in Florida, which featured several high-profile speakers — namely Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly — lambasting the Trump administration and Attorney General Pam Bondi for the handling of the Epstein Files. Kirk later said that he was “done talking about” the situation, and that he “trusted his friends in the administration” and in the government to do the right thing regarding the situation.

Charlie Kirk has had, at times, a tumultuous relationship with Fox News. After the network ousted primetime host Tucker Carlson in 2023, a report surfaced that it was attempting to distance itself from Kirk and his Turning Point USA organization. That came after Kirk accused the network of leaking videos that went viral in an attempt to make the host look bad.

In December of that year, Kirk stated that he hoped that the relationship could be repaired. “I love Fox (News). They’ve been very good to me,” he said at the time. “I hope we can heal our relationship because — for whatever reason — it’s gone off the reservation.”

FOX & Friends Weekend is seen from 6-10 AM ET.
