The Fox News Specialists has shut down. Deadline reports Fox News has cancelled the TV show and co-host Eric Bolling is leaving the network.
The talk show began in May 2017 and features a five-person panel discussing current events, specifically political news.
Bolling is parting ways with Fox News only a month after the network suspended him following sexual harassment allegations. His fellow Specialists co-hosts Eboni Williams and Kat Timpf will stay at Fox News as contributors.
From Fox News:
“Fox News Channel is canceling The Specialists, and Eric Bolling and Fox have agreed to part ways amicably. We thank Eric for his ten years of service to our loyal viewers and wish him the best of luck.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of The Fox News Specialists? Are you sad the show has ended?
I always thought (and still do) Eric is a classy guy. He was the foundation for the Fox News Specialists. Eboni is smart, but always seemed so stiff; never saw the girl authenticially smile. How can the audience get to know her if she never reveals herself….came across fake to me (with those fake smiles too when talking with guests). Smart though; I give her that. As far as Kat goes, I always thought she was just a Fox experiment on the show to attract a younger audience. To me, I thought she was too non-chalant about things, trying to… Read more »
I agree with you about Eric, and would like to see him back.
I agree with you about Eric and Kat. Eboni is smart, I will give her that, but very arrogant, NO personality and very closed minded about the Charlottesville incident. When all people come to realize that NO violence is acceptable, no matter WHERE it comes from or what form it comes in, we will be better off. I lost all respect for Miss Williams after that show and never watched again. I am however a strong supporter and viewer of Fox!!!
I am a very loyal “The Five” viewer, and I was sick that they moved it to prime time. In my opinion, the format is much more suited to afternoon viewers. In Houston, it aired at 4:00, which was perfect. I was afraid the new time slot would ruin the “karma” The Five share, which was what made it so enjoyable to watch in the afternoon (cooking dinner, answering e-mails, etc.). But I admit that they seem to have retained their individual wit, personality and perspective. Their unique communication skills coupled with the back and forth conversation is always amusing,… Read more »
The Specialists sucked. Ever since O’Reilly was let go FOX has been declining. I’m down to The Five now and than but Juan Williams has ruined that show. Sorry FOX but I am a real short timing viewer. GOOD LUCK.
I agree. Juan is so prejudiced against the right and the President is sickening.
I think im about done with fox, doing away with programs viewer like. You getting to be just like cnn and other fake news cable channel. If you want me back you better get Eric and the rest of the gang. Fox is becoming so fake.
Ron, Never liked the show from the start. Bolling and the little girls seemed so inexperienced about everything!
The Specialists was definitely the worst show on Fox. No one would give an inch as everyone talked over each other and as a result, I wouldn’t know what the hell was said. Glad it’s gone but Shep Smith? Bring back The Five at 5:00!
Please don’t give Shepherd Smith the time slot. If you do, I will cancel my subscription to FOX. That guy is the biggest dolt on the air. He is more suited to CNN than Fox.
Didn’t like the show that much. Ebony was the main reason I watched. Didn’t care for the blonde at all. You should have a show with Mark Stein. He is GREAT. We have moved to Fox Business for most of our news.
meh show bored me. Eric yelled over everyone No one let Kay, who can be super, talk. Eboni IMO acts self righteous so I won’t miss it. In fact, I usually changed the channel. There are other cable stations to turn to now. OANN, Newsmax, even FBN is better than the failing FoxNews
The Murdoch sons are ruining Fox
Didn’t like show without Eric. Really have soured on Fox News. Kat was awful and got tired of Eboni on her soap box all the time. Big fan of Eric. Don’t watch Fox nearly as much without Bill and now Eric. Yet y’all keep CNN Shep. Why? He’s awful. Show had no chance without Eric.
Miss the Five at Five. Put Eboni on it and return it to the five o’clock spot.
I would have appreciated Fox making an announcement at the five o’clock Specialists show the first day it was cancelled. Very cowardly way to just fill it with random stories by a variety of reporters without any on air professional announcement. Done with Fox.
I think Fox News has sunk to a new low, seems they’re intent on becoming more like those cable fake news channels that it’s once loyal base despises.
In short, I’m about done with fox and believe there will be many more like me……
Glad the show has been cancelled. Don’t know what FOX was thinking cause the show sucked especially after Eric left. Kat and Ebony are way too full of themselves for being 30 somethings.
Glad the Fox News Specialists was cancelled. Didn’t watch it after Eric Bolling left anyway and think Eric was treated horribly by Fox.
