At the beginning of the show, Shawn opens with his opening monologue detailing the political issues of the day. Shawn transitions to clips backing evidence or showing statements of opposition forces. When Shawn finishes is openning monologue, he goes to a political & legal panel analyzing the situations on hand. After the opening segments, the show has a more loose format. Hannity may go to another monologue, go to an interview, or continue with another panel. |

The show's format consists of Hannity interviewing guests and providing his own commentary. Among notable segments was "The Great American Panel", which ran near the end of the show, featuring Hannity and three guests (two of which were notable political or news commentators, one liberal and the other conservative, with the third member being a special guest who was notable outside the political or journalistic community but usually holding conservative political views) in a panel discussion on important topics of the day. The "Panel" was split into two parts; in between parts, Hannity (or sometimes the special panel guest) will toss a miniature [[American football ball|football]] towards the camera. |

Hannity, is an American television political talk program on Fox News Channel hosted by Shawn Hannity. Episodes air live at 9 pm on Monday through Thursday; . The show focuses on the development of the day's events with long monologues, political analysis, legal analysis and The show has been a part of the Fox News program lineup since February 12, 2009, and is the number one cable news broadcast in its time slot. the Friday edition is generally pre-recorded except in cases of heavy breaking news coverage. On nights when Sean Hannity is not available, Jeanine Pirro often will fill in as substitute host.
On the rationale for the new program, Fox News Senior Vice President Bill Shine has stated:
Sean is one of the top television and radio personalities in the business and we're excited to be working with him on this venture. When Alan Colmes left us with a void last month, we decided to build a new program utilizing Sean's signature talents rather than take on the monumental task of replacing someone as exceptional as Alan and attempting to rebuild a rare chemistry that is unlikely to ever be matched in cable television again.[1]
Format
At the beginning of the show, Shawn opens with his opening monologue detailing the political issues of the day. Shawn transitions to clips backing evidence or showing statements of opposition forces. When Shawn finishes is openning monologue, he goes to a political & legal panel analyzing the situations on hand. After the opening segments, the show has a more loose format. Hannity may go to another monologue, go to an interview, or continue with another panel.
The first guest on Hannity was former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. Hannity featured an exclusive interview with Don Imus during his premiere week. During the second week, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh appeared in an exclusive two-part interview about the future of the conservative movement and the newly inaugurated President Barack Obama.
At the end of the show, Hannity (or sometimes the special panel guest) would toss a miniature football towards the camera. Now, Hannity transitions to The Ingraham Angle by having a 30 second to 2 minute chat with Laura Ingraham about a random or political topic.
Controversies
Seth Rich Controversy
In 2017, Hannity was discussing conspiracy theories involving the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich, and on May 25, 2017, it was announced that some advertisers had cut ties to the show following the controversy and a sponsor boycott promoted by Media Matters, similar to previous sponsor boycotts targeting The Glenn Beck Program and The Rush Limbaugh Show.[2] It was also announced that Hannity might be given a leave of absence,[3][4][5] though Hannity vowed to return and did, [6] and Fox confirmed he would be returning.[7] Although it was reported two days later that Hannity was in fact mulling a departure from the network,[8] Hannity did indeed return to the network.[9] Furthermore, very few advertisers have pulled their advertisements in response to Media Matters' campaign, with some publicly announcing their refusal to remove ads for various reasons,[10] and with several companies reversing or failing to act on[11] previous decisions to remove their advertisements.[12]Fortunately for Hannity, many advertisers have silently put their advertisements back on the show.
Programming Announcements/Changes
Following the announcement on November 25, 2008, that Alan Colmes would leave the show,[13] it was decided that the show would simply be entitled Hannity.[1]
From October 7, 2013, to September 22, 2017, most Hannity episodes were pre-recorded to air in the 10:00 pm time-slot, occasionally airing live if a major breaking news story was being covered. Following the move to 10:00 pm, the 9:00 pm time-slot was filled by several programs, including The Kelly File, Tucker Carlson Tonight, and most recently The Five, which aired at 9:00 pm until September 25, 2017, when Hannity returned to its original time and got a graphics makeover.
Location
Hannity is broadcast from Studio J at 1211 Avenue of the Americas (also known as the News Corp. Building), New York City. On March 20, 2018, Hannity temporarily relocated to Studio F from its original location in Studio J for construction. The program went back to renovated Studio J on June 5, 2018.[14]
