Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery, the onetime MTV host who has recently been seen on Fox Business program “The Independents,” is getting a series built around her.

Montgomery will be the host of “Kennedy,” which will launch January 26 at 10 p.m., after the conclusion of an episode of the network’s new “Strange Inheritance” reality series that night.

“Kennedy” will feature an opening monologue from the host, followed by interviews and discussion segments. Fox Business is billing the program as focused on “big water-cooler discussion topics.”

The network is ending “The Independents,” which also featured Fox Business Network contributors Matt Welch and Kmele Foster.
