Fox News Saturday Night airs at 10 p.m. ET, the same time slot that Greg Gutfeld filled until he transitioned to a weeknight show. Gutfeld’s show has been a ratings success for Fox, which moved him up an hour to 10 p.m. ET last year.

Failla also is the author of Cancel Culture Dictionary for Fox News Books, set to be published on Jan. 30, with a special released on Fox Nation two days earlier. Failla, a former cab driver, joined the network as a writer in 2016.
