Fox News has just pulled off a weekend overhaul that’s sending shockwaves through cable news. The network announced a revamped lineup featuring high-profile personalities, new shows, and a few surprises—proving once again that Fox is playing to win in the fiercely competitive world of weekend television.

A Power Play for the Weekend

The biggest headline is the formation of a brand-new “dream team” anchored by White House correspondents Peter Doocy and Jacqui Heinrich. Both have made their mark covering the Biden administration, and now they’ll bring their sharp reporting and insider access to a new Sunday morning show: The Sunday Briefing. Set to debut on September 20, the program promises in-depth analysis of Washington’s biggest stories, key policy debates, and exclusive interviews with newsmakers.

Doocy, 38, has been with Fox News since 2009, steadily rising through the ranks to become Senior White House Correspondent in 2024. He’s covered every major election and White House briefing over the last 15 years, earning a reputation for tough questions and breaking news scoops. Heinrich, 36, joined Fox in 2018, quickly establishing herself as a go-to voice on Capitol Hill and at the White House. Her recent promotion to Senior White House Correspondent cements her status as one of the network’s rising stars.

Both hosts have built loyal followings, and the network is betting big on their chemistry and expertise. “White House briefings have become must-see TV over the last few years and now, so is The Sunday Briefing,” Doocy wrote on X, promising viewers a fresh take on the week’s biggest stories.

Kayleigh McEnany Gets Her Own Show

Another major move: Kayleigh McEnany, former White House Press Secretary under President Trump, will headline her own two-hour program, Saturday in America, airing Saturdays from 10 am to noon. McEnany, 37, brings her experience from the briefing room and her sharp commentary as a co-host of Outnumbered. A Harvard Law graduate, McEnany has become a fixture on Fox’s opinion shows, guest-hosting everything from The Ingraham Angle to Hannity.

Fans were quick to celebrate the news, with one posting, “Great news. Good to have something else worth watching on the Fox weekend at that time slot.” McEnany’s show is expected to blend political analysis, interviews, and her signature take on current events.

Fox & Friends Weekend Adds Griff Jenkins

Fox & Friends Weekend, a staple of Saturday and Sunday mornings, will see a shake-up of its own. Longtime Fox correspondent Griff Jenkins joins Rachel Campos-Duffy and Charlie Hurt as a co-host. Jenkins, 54, started with Fox in 2003 and has covered everything from war zones to presidential elections. His enthusiasm for the new role is palpable—he posted a throwback clip of his first guest-hosting gig in 2008, calling it a “full circle moment.”

Fans are excited to see Jenkins join the team, with one writing, “Can’t wait to start my Saturday off with you. It was too long in coming.”

The Big Weekend Expands: Johnny Joey Jones and Tomi Lahren Join

The popular Big Weekend Show is expanding its run by an hour, now airing from 5 to 8 pm. Joining as co-hosts are Johnny Joey Jones, a decorated Marine veteran and bomb technician who lost both legs in Afghanistan, and Tomi Lahren, known for her outspoken conservative commentary. Jones has become a respected military analyst across Fox platforms, while Lahren’s fiery takes have built a massive following.

“I am beyond pumped for this new weekend role,” Lahren posted on X. “I’m also especially excited to be working with my longtime friend @Johnny_Joey as we steer the ‘Big Weekend Show’ ship every Saturday and Sunday.”

Media Buzz Canceled After 13 Seasons

Not all the changes are additions—Fox News is also canceling Media Buzz, the long-running show hosted by Howard Kurtz. After 13 seasons dissecting the media landscape, the program will end to make room for the new lineup.

A New Era for Fox News Weekends

With these bold moves, Fox News is sending a clear message: the network isn’t just tweaking its schedule—it’s reinventing weekend cable news. By pairing top White House correspondents, elevating star commentators, and expanding its most popular shows, Fox is betting that viewers want more analysis, more personality, and more must-see moments.

The spotlight is hotter, the stakes are higher, and Fox News just proved that when it comes to weekend TV, they’re playing for keeps.
