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?
The show I did not like. Eric though, was one of my favorites. Missed him at the Five as well.
I miss Eric but I won’t miss “The Specialist.” I thought Kat was arrogant and very irritating. I really miss “The Five” in this time slot and hope it will come back in place of the Specialist.
I agree completely I loved watching “the Five’ every night. Now I never watch Fox during that hour. Bring the Five back and let Laura Ingham take the 9:00 slot
I won’t miss it, largely because I’m tired of programs where the key thing is everybody trying holler everybody else down. Eboni was the worst – she CONSTANTLY interrupted other speakers. Actually, Eric was about the only one who didn’t do that. Kat was a giggly airhead who got irritating in a hurry.
Should have kept the “Five”
Specialist SUCKED! Terrible show. and I stopped watching.
The Specialists was nothing without Eric Bowling. Please put, “The Five” back where it belongs, at 5pm.
Very Happy the show was cancelled. Never did like it and the females on the panel even when Eric was hosting.
Without Eric You had No show !!! He is innocent and you guys are horrible for treating the famiky man the way you did. I have been a viewer of the 5 for years and now done with you!
It was a terrible show……If I wanted a liberal one sided woman show I would watch the View or CNN……I want the FIVE back on at 5. Even with Eric gone it was /is a good show and it is Fair and Balanced. Ebony has gotten to the point that she is Above people and their thoughts and values. I cannot stand Kat. She does not have a logically good thought in her head. She is funny …Get her a comedy deal
what a great show get ebony or kat to host the thing.
The Fox News Specialists was a terrible show. Without Eric it was even worse. Kay, Eboni, and Shep Smith are better suited for CNN.
I totally agree. I really liked Eric, but now it’s difficult because of the allegations. I don’t know what to believe about him. Eboni, Kat, and Shep should work for MSNBC. THEY ARE JUDGMENTAL, to say the least, and so anti Trump, they need to go. Way too negatively opinionated
Mickie, all people are innocent until proven guilty. We have yet to see any evidence regarding these allegations about Eric. I think I will let it play out and see where it leads. At this point, in my heart of hearts, I am leaning toward believing Eric based on the leftist journalist who “broke” this piece of so called news. I do, however, respect your honest opinion. I also am in agreement about Eboni, Kat, and Shep. The do NOT belong on Fox.
No, I did not like the show. I liked Eric and Ebony but Kat is irritating at best. Eric was far too busy promoting his book (which I bought). I find the allegations against him unbelievable considering his persona.
As far as Kat, unless they can show credentials that show she has a clue about what she is talking about, she should stick to comedy.
Specialists didn’t have a chance without Eric. The Five needs to return to 5 o’clock! We don’t watch it at 9:00 as much anymore. (Listen to what your audience is all saying) Seems like competing networks are trumping up charges to everyone at Fox who is good & who commands ratings! Maybe to sabotage your network! Think about it!
This show was terrible. Also have no idea why Shepherd Smith still has a job. He is terrible
I agree with you about Shep Smith. That man has NO personality, is ALL drama, anti-Trump and should be in movies, not giving the news. I will switch from FOX to cartoons every day when his show comes on if he is the anchor. I am serious. I watch FOX from 8am until 5pm (I work from home) but will NOT watch a show with Shepherd Smith on it. Then I will switch it back to FOX when his show is over. FOX, he needs to GO!!!
I agree totally that Shep should not handle a show that is supposed to be news. Probbl
The show sucked, Kat Timpf was a twit and her “sarcasm” didn’t work. I tried to watch the show a couple times but it was terrible.
Same here.
I looked forward to viewing The Specialists and to the return of Eric Boling. Liked the format which was refreshing, stated facts and moved quickly. The guests were informative and allowed to speak without interruption. Opposing views were discussed respectfully. Eboni’s seriousness was counter-balanced by Kat’s dry wit…great team. (For the record: I am a grandmother.)
