TPUSA Founder Charlie Kirk Just Landed A New Gig


Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk just landed a new gig.

Kirk is set to be a guest co-host for “Fox & Friends Weekend.”

The move by Fox comes as the network is seeking to appeal to a younger audience.

Kirk announced the news in an Instagram post, sharing that he would be on air at 6 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.

MSN had more details to report on Kirk’s latest move:

Fox News has tapped MAGA activist Charlie Kirk to guest host the right-wing network’s weekend version of its flagship morning program, a network spokesperson confirmed to The Independent.

This will be the Turning Point USA founder’s first time hosting a show on Fox News. As Axios first reported, Kirk is set to join regular Fox & Friends Weekend co-hosts Rachel Campos-Duffy and Charlie Hurt on the curvy couch this coming Saturday and Sunday.

With the dog days of summer upon us, cable news networks are reaching deep into their benches to fill out hosting slots, as this is prime vacation time for anchors and reporters. Therefore, it isn’t surprising to see Fox News turn to outside personalities for one-off hosting gigs during this time of year, especially someone with a well-established audience like Kirk, who hosts a radio show and a top-rated podcast.

What does make this stand out, though, is that Kirk was one of the MAGA influencers who was highly critical of the Wall Street Journal’s bombshell story on the “bawdy” birthday card Donald Trump allegedly sent deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. According to the WSJ, the card included a hand-drawn outline of a naked woman, with Trump’s signature mimicking pubic hair.

The report, which Trump immediately described as “fake,” led to the president suing the Wall Street Journal and its owner Rupert Murdoch, who also owns Fox News. Meanwhile, the story appeared to dissipate the MAGA uproar over the Epstein files, as prominent conservatives who had grown increasingly frustrated with the administration’s handling of the saga quickly rallied around the president over their shared disdain of the mainstream media.

Tucker Carlson recently invited Kirk on his show, too.
