Former MTV Host Kennedy Joins FBN to Host The Independents
Fox Business Network has announced that former MTV VJ Kennedy (full name Lisa Kennedy Montgomery) will host a new primetime show beginning next Monday, Dec. 9th.
The show, called The Independents, will air Monday through Wednesday and Friday nights at 9 p.m. ET, featuring a roundtable discussion on news-of-the-day with an emphasis on economic and civil liberties, in keeping with the host’s libertarian beliefs.
Kennedy will be joined by two co-hosts: Reason magazine editor-in-chief Matt Welch and America’s Future Foundation’s Kmele Foster. The show will also feature a rotating panel of experts.
The show will not air on Thursday nights at 9 p.m., as that weekly slot is occupied by John Stossel‘s eponymous program.
In addition to hosting a morning music radio show in Los Angeles, Kennedy has also recently served as a contributor to ReasonTV (in which she interviewed this Mediaite author and his conservative colleague) and a “special correspondent” to Stossel.
She has also recently authored a tell-all book chronicling her time as an MTV VJ, which we featured here.
