TV co-host Will Cain may be on network television at Fox News, but roots tie him back here in Texas, which is why he has returned to the Lone Star State.
“I’m back because I want my boys to be Texans,” he told MySA. He says his family moved back to Texas four months ago.
The co-host of “FOX & Friends Weekend” was born and raised in Sherman, Texas. He has moved to California, Montana and New York, but he says there’s nothing like Texas.
Cain graduated from California’s Pepperdine University. He returned back to Texas and attended law school at the University of Texas at Austin, where he graduated in 2000.
He said his career in media didn’t start right away. It was starting his own business that helped pave the way for him.
“It’s a long and winding road, but the bottom line is through entrepreneurship. I had only ever owned my own businesses. I started a newspaper business in North Texas and I started a quinceañera media company…so when I wanted to get into broadcasting I started my own television pilot,” he said. “That led to years of free work but I was never afraid to just do it and go to people with the power to say yes to breakthrough.”
In 2015, Cain joined ESPN, according to a Washington Post report. During his time there he was a commentator and host of his own radio show “The Will Cain Show.” He left about five years later to join Fox News.

“The state of the country led to the change. I was happy at ESPN, I was succeeding at ESPN and I love sports,” he said. “But the very foundational principles, set aside politics, the bedrocks of Western Civilization are being vilified. I was ready to talk about…and I’m ready to die on the hills of due process, individualism, and free thought.”
Aside from being the co-host of “FOX & Friends Weekend,” Cain most recently took on the hosting chair of the network’s new program “FOX News Primetime” last month. The show features a rotating host each week.

Cain also hosts “The Will Cain Podcast.”
“Twice a week I go deep on the three biggest stories in news and sports. It’s a chance for me to just hang out and talk with the audience,” he said. “We talk about my new dog, the Dallas Cowboys, college football powerhouses and I go deep for example on race relations or the insanity of our response to COVID. It’s a place to get to know each other and really lay out my thoughts.”
The network anchor says he is a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan and with his background in sports, I asked him to shed some light on the upcoming season.
“Hope springs eternal for me every year but I also feel like I’m being realistic,” he told MySA. “The Cowboys can and should win the NFC East. Dak Prescott is a championship level quarterback and the offense is going to put up a ton of points. The depth of their run will depend on the defense and that’s what is keeping me from putting them in the NFC Championship game.”
