FOX News viewers have been raving about Will Cain’s debut on The Will Cain Show, with many applauding his promise to “keep it real” as he steps into the weekday afternoon slot. Cain, known for his vast experience interviewing influential figures like Donald Trump and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, has quickly won the hearts of viewers.
The debut on January 21st secured an impressive 3.5 million viewers, marking the highest-rated daytime debut in FOX News history. Cain, who moved into the 4 pm timeslot previously occupied by Neil Cavuto, expressed his excitement for the new role and shared his vision for the show.
“I’m super-grateful to have this show, and incredibly grateful to be able to do it from America’s heartland,” Cain said during his debut. He emphasized the importance of authenticity and honesty, vowing to make The Will Cain Show a platform for truth-seeking and open dialogue. “I’m going to be real. I’m going to be authentic, and I’m going to seek the truth,” he told viewers, explaining that his approach is rooted in curiosity rather than authority.
Cain’s warm reception included positive feedback from social media, with many praising the new show. One viewer tweeted, “My new favorite show!” while another expressed pride for Cain’s Texas roots, commenting, “So proud of our northeast Texas talent.”
Despite the positive feedback, not all viewers were on board with every aspect of the show. Some fans expressed their dislike for a microphone visible on set. Greg Gutfeld, a fellow FOX News personality, joked about the microphone, saying, “I don’t like the microphone, I don’t understand it.” Several viewers echoed this sentiment on social media, asking for the mic to be removed. However, Cain took it in stride and responded to the comments, emphasizing that “nothing is fake” on the set.
Cain, who will turn 50 in March, transitioned from his role as a weekend host on Fox & Friends to his new weekday program. In his earlier career, Cain was known for his legal expertise and conservative opinions, having worked at ESPN and CNN before joining Fox in 2020. He’s also had notable media roles as an analyst and host at the Blaze.
As for his personal life, Cain is married to Kathleen Cain, and the couple has two sons. Reflecting on his career, he credits his father for instilling confidence in him, which has helped him tackle new challenges in his professional life. His new solo program will cover a wide range of topics, from politics and business to culture and sports.
With a strong debut and positive reactions from many fans, The Will Cain Show looks set to continue making waves in the world of afternoon television.
