Fox News is entering the daytime talk-show conversation with The Girls, a new all-female program featuring Kat Timpf, Harris Faulkner and Rachel Campos-Duffy.
The podcast premieres Thursday and is scheduled to release a new episode every week.
Rather than relying on a permanent panel, The Girls will bring together a rotating lineup of co-hosts. The debut episode features 37-year-old Timpf, a panelist on Gutfeld!; 60-year-old Fox News anchor Faulkner; and 54-year-old Campos-Duffy, host of Fox & Friends Weekend and the wife of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
Melissa DeRosa, 44, who previously served as secretary to former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Samantha Ponder, 40, a former ESPN sportscaster, are also set to appear in the opening episode.
Fox described the format in a social media announcement as an unscripted forum for candid discussions about politics, pop culture, money, marriage, parenting, relationships, careers and other topics.
“The Girls is a natural addition to our growing podcast portfolio,” Porter Berry, president of Fox News digital and new media, told The Hollywood Reporter. He said the network was pleased to expand its lineup with distinctive programs that give audiences new ways to engage with Fox content.
Megan Albano, Fox’s executive vice president of morning programming and program development, said the show would offer a “no-holds-barred” approach designed to showcase the voices and viewpoints of women across Fox News Media and beyond.
As she promoted the podcast on Instagram, Campos-Duffy also positioned it as an alternative to ABC’s long-running talk show The View.

“Everyone’s sick of The View,” Campos-Duffy said in a video posted Tuesday. “It’s the same ladies, and they have the exact same opinion.”
She said she wanted to create a program built around the kind of freewheeling exchanges viewers might have with their own friends. “Wouldn’t it be great if there was a show where you could watch a conversation a lot like the conversations that you have with your own girlfriends?” she asked. “That’s what we’re going to do here at Fox.”
Campos-Duffy added that a new group of women would be assembled each week to discuss the biggest subjects in the news and culture.
She urged audiences to tune in for what she called “real conversations,” contrasting the show with discussions about “what rich Manhattan ladies think.”
“Pop culture, news, faith, parenting—we’re going to have a real conversation, not just what rich Manhattan ladies think,” she said.
Lauren Sanchez, the wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, was among those who quickly liked Campos-Duffy’s post.
The official Instagram account for The Girls later posted a behind-the-scenes clip showing the hosts in the studio after recording the first episode Wednesday.
“So much fun. That conversation… yeah, it was interesting,” Faulkner teased in the video. “I think you’re really going to like it, and we’re having the best time.”

The weekly show will use rotating co-hosts. Its first episode features Gutfeld! panelist Kat Timpf, 37; Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner, 60; and Fox & Friends Weekend host Rachel Campos-Duffy, 54

Ex-ESPN sportscaster Samantha Ponder, 40, is also slated to be featured in the first episode
The new show announcement comes days after Timpf revealed that she’s pregnant with her second child.
She shared the news that she and her husband, Cameron Friscia, were expecting on stage during a stand-up comedy show last weekend.
‘Well actually, I have a secret,’ she told the crowd as she opened up her blazer to reveal her baby bump underneath.
The comedian donned a black crop top and low-cut jeans, leaving her growing stomach on full display.
‘Are you guys surprised? So was I. I shouldn’t have been though because I’m married to a veteran and the army always does seem to take a while to pull out of something,’ she joked.
‘What he said would be a quick little excursion looks like an 18-year commitment.’
She said she wanted her husband to get a vasectomy for her birthday next month, adding: ‘I’ve had enough surgeries. It’s someone else’s turn.’
While promoting the new podcast on Instagram, Campos-Duffy took aim at The View. ‘Everyone’s sick of The View,’ she said in a video shared on Tuesday. ‘It’s the same ladies, they have the exact same opinion’
The official The Girls Instagram shared a clip of the women in the studio after they filmed the first episode on Wednesday
She posted a clip of the moment to her Instagram days later, while thanking the audience members for keeping her secret until she was ready to share it online.
‘Huge thanks to the 1,500-ish besties at my shows this weekend for keeping my secret,’ she wrote.
‘So awesome to be the portal for a new little soul.’
Timpf and Friscia first met through the dating app Raya. They wed in May 2021 and they welcomed their first child together, a baby boy, in February 2025.
Timpf was diagnosed with stage zero breast cancer 15 hours before the birth of her first child and underwent a double mastectomy last year.
