Mike Huckabee's Fox News Show To Debut This Weekend With Guest Elisabeth Hasselbeck

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Heeeere's Huckabee.

Former Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee announced on his Web site that he has a new show debuting 8 p.m. EDT Saturday and Sunday on the Fox News Channel.

The show is simply titled "Huckabee," he said.

"I'm sure the name will make it easy for all of you to find it," Huckabee wrote on his political action committee's blog.

Fox News Channel spokesman Richard White said that Huckabee's new show would air on the channel but referred all questions about the show to Huckabee's agent.

Sarah Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor's daughter and head of his political action committee, said the same show will air both nights. She said his guest on the show will be Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the conservative co-host of ABC's "The View."

Huckabee, who dropped of the race for the Republican presidential nomination in March, joined Fox in June as a political commentator and has been working with the cable channel on a television show.

Huckabee left the presidential race after John McCain won enough delegates to secure the party's nomination. The ordained Baptist minister was a regular on late-night talk shows during his campaign.

Since exiting the race, Huckabee has started a political action committee to raise money for other Republicans and is writing a book about his failed presidential bid. That book is scheduled to be released in November.

Well, I enjoyed Mike Huckabee's show. It's the only one on the air where I heard others who share my opinions. If it weren't throwing a vote away, I'd write Gov. Huckabee's in for the Presidency. I voted for him in the California primary.

I watched the show. Why is it that on this show they were saying how Sara Palin can run the country AND be a mom? That fact should be beside the point since Mike (a southern Baptist) does not believe in allowing women to be pastors, some do not allow them to speak in a church business meeting.... A woman could run the free world, but not pastor a small southern baptist church of 200 or so people???

Southern White Baptists are the reason GW won twice, need I say more?

[LibRS]

"need i say more?"

please do because as of yet you haven't made a valid point.

yeah, you gotta watch those southern baptist. afterall, they are so loony they believe in actually working for a living, and that the government is here to protect us and not provide a a socialistic living for us. they promote being productive and making your own way and not depending on uncle sam to do it for you. yeah, those southern baptist are sneaky that way.

I watched the beginning, and when Hasselback came on, guess what the first topic was?
Rev Wright! With full video footage and all. Unbelievable! You debut a show, with your first guest and that's the most important subject right now??With all else that's going on?
I guess we can expect another Seannity style show. Never watching it again, that's for sure.
But kudos to Elizabeth, I must say, she was very civil and fair, maybe trying to make up for her hateful comment at that Cindy luncheon. She straightened out the stupid idea that the View was mean to McSame and nice to Obama, fairly explaining the time differences between the two appearances, and pointing out that they were softer on McSame too during the primaries. Huckabee asked her a really stupid question about what happens if Obama wins, she answered graciously and said she's an American first, and at that point would honor her President, whomever it turns out to be.
I must say, I was really impressed by Elizabeth, but Mike's show, if that was the indication of how they'll be, it's totally useless and moronic.

Barbara gave her a sit down the other day on the view. She could lose her job. Obviously she wants her job on the view, more that repeating word for word what she hears on Fake Noise.

I was annoyed with Huckabee's choice of Hasselbeck as a guest and equally disturbed of the clip of Rev. Wright. How about showing a clip of Palin and witch doctor, Moothy, laying hands on her in Alaska recently to rid her of demons as he had done in Africa?

Also, Ms. Hasselbeck was genuinely annoyed at Barack Obama's example of putting 5 things out there in the media that she may have stupidly said. She obviously doesn't recall the time she said on the View that she objected to portions of the children's classic, Babar, and crossed out sections in marker!

Mike Myers created Wayne's World not copy cat Huckabee.

[insanityfollows]

Lord, spare me.

[RobertAndropolis]

Huckabee's a clown who has no comedic timing. He will go down in history as making a joke to an NRA crowd about shooting Obama.

[mimisrose]

I just watched Huckabees new show. I think its great and he did a great job!! I liked the guests he had on too. Keep up the good work Gov. Huckabee!!!!!!!

[LibRS]

i liked it as well.

[LASteve]

But will there be "Altar Calls" at the end?

How about passing the plate for Pastor Huckaboob?

[yellowdogminnesotan]

Wow simply wow, Fox News is brining together the two most powerful minds in the Republican Party. Oh no wait, it's Hasseback and Huckabee not Hasseback and Palin. Sorry Two of the three greatest mind in the Republican Party.

[scornflakes]

They should have called it "J f'ing C".

[TN]

Those two have the same IQ, low. They like to picture themselves as the old worn out, dated, republican patriot's. They are better than everyone else, they are going to heaven, they can vote their way to heaven. All they have to do is be for guns, for war, wear a flag pin and be against gay marriage. Whalla, instant patriot.

[LibRS]

oh come on tn. tell us how your really feel.

Do we really need a show where one more conservative is interviewing another conservative?

[Lil-Vette]

Who cares about Huckabee or Hasselbeck? I think "The View" is losing ratiings when Hasselbeck speaks. I know that I change stations when her annoying, squeey, schreeching voice start spewing out stupid nonsense.

Obama/Biden '08

[RobertAndropolis]

I feel my brain cells dying when Hasselbeck talks.

[LibRS]

i feel my rights dying when i hear the other three m o r o n s talk.

[LibRS]

you could be right since it is overwhelmingly rabid liberal watch the show. too bad, liberals could learn a lot from liz.

[MyDogIsADemocrat]

Ahhh, nothing like the typical name calling to go with my morning coffee. I guess intelligent comments and or debates are not happening here today.
