Kudlow’s appointment marks a temporary expansion of his role within the network, where he has become a central figure since joining in 2021. His eponymous program, Kudlow, has maintained its status as the top-rated show in business television, often featuring high-profile interviews with figures such as Elon Musk, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Before transitioning to television, Kudlow held significant roles in federal policy, serving as the Director of the National Economic Council under President Donald Trump from 2018 to 2021. His background also includes a stint in the Reagan administration as an associate director at the Office of Management and Budget, alongside a career in finance as chief economist for Bear Stearns. Fox News plans to announce a permanent host for the Sunday morning slot at a later date.
