NEW YORK – June 5, 2024 — FOX News Media has signed Mary Katharine Ham as a contributor, where she will provide analysis across the network’s platforms. She will make her debut on America’s Newsroom (9-11 AM/ET) this morning with co-anchors Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino.
In addition to her contributor role, she is also a columnist for OutKick and will continue to host her bi-weekly podcast alongside Vic Matus entitled “Getting Hammered”, where they break down what’s happening in the news, whether it’s politics, pop culture or parenting.
A prominent journalist, author and speaker, Ham co-moderated a Republican presidential primary debate in 2016 for ABC News alongside David Muir, Martha Raddatz and Josh McElveen.

She has also written for a number of publications including The Atlantic, USA Today and the New York Post.
Ham previously was a FOX News contributor from 2007-2015. She went on to serve as a CNN contributor, departing the network after being suspended in 2022 for speaking out against then-legal contributor Jeffrey Toobin and his Zoom scandal.
