Kayleigh McEnany Might Be Fox News' Next Top Blonde With New Gig (Watch Out, Ainsley!)

One would think that Ainsley Earhardt's romance with Sean Hannity may give her a leg up on the competition when it comes to being Fox News royalty, but there's another blonde bombshell who's officially rising through the ranks. Former Donald Trump White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany just got a big promotion. And, we have a feeling Earhardt might be feeling a bit jealous of this one. 

McEnany is currently a cohost on the series "Outnumbered." Yet, she's no longer going to be working on a show where she's outnumbered by cohosts. Instead, McEnany is getting her own show. "Saturday in America" will air on Saturday mornings following "Fox & Friends Weekend." It seems as though Earhardt won't be moving from her spot as "Fox & Friends" cohost. While she may simply love her current role, it is entirely possible that she feels overlooked now that McEnany has been given her own show in what seems like a vital time slot. Earhardt has been in her role for over a decade, starting in 2013, and she has been with the network since 2007. McEnany, on the other hand, has a much shorter history with Fox. She was White House press secretary from April 2020 to January 2021 during Trump's first term, and she joined Fox just a few months later.

News of Kayleigh McEnany's brand new show isn't the only staff switch-up going on over at Fox News. The fact that many Fox News staffers joined Donald Trump's second administration means that some coveted spots have opened up at the network. One of those spots belonged to Pete Hegseth, who was on Fox News before becoming secretary of defense. Griff Jenkins will be taking over Hegseth's former gig as a "Fox & Friends Weekend" cohost. The network is also adding another new weekend series, "The Sunday Briefing," hosted by Jacqui Heinrich and Peter Doocy.

Fox News will be making some changes to its usual way of doing things, and these new shows are set to begin the week of September 20. When shakeups like this happen, it's easy to assume that there is likely jealousy or disappointment going on behind-the-scenes. Of course, it's hard to know if Ainsley Earhardt really wishes McEnany's new gig was actually her own. But, time will tell if this is a case of blondes growing green with envy or even the beginning of an all out battle of the blondes.
