From Fox News: Fox News Channel has announced the primetime special “Charlie Kirk: An American Original” will be hosted by Jesse Watters and air on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET.
The one-hour special will honor the life and legacy of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, following his tragic assassination at Utah Valley University this week. Watters will reflect on Kirk’s extraordinary impact as a conservative thought leader, gifted communicator, and monumental force for the MAGA movement.
Donald Trump Jr., “My View” host Lara Trump, Graham Allen, OutKick’s Riley Gaines and Pastor Jack Hibbs are among Kirk’s friends and colleagues who will join the program. Fox News personalities Will Cain, Laura Ingraham, Brian Kilmeade, Ainsley Earhardt and Lawrence Jones will also join to reflect on Kirk’s profound impact.
Fox News contributors Jason Chaffetz, who was on location in Utah during the horrific shooting, and Lisa Boothe will also join Watters.
Kirk, 31, was on a Utah college campus Wednesday speaking and debating when he was suddenly shot in the neck. He was rushed to the hospital and died later that day. He had been invited by the school’s Turning Point USA chapter—the conservative student group he founded, which grew into a major political force. Kirk was also a regular on Fox News. Kirk’s final TV appearance was on The Will Cain Show Tuesday, after previously guest co-hosting FOX & Friends Weekend in July.
An encore of Charlie Kirk: An American Original will air Sunday at 7 p.m. ET and stream on FOX Nation.
