She’s set to debut during The Will Cain Show on Fox News Channel at 4 pm ET.
Fox confirmed it has signed the YouTube and podcast personality to provide commentary across all of its media platforms.
Cooper rose to fame as host of The Comments Section, a Daily Wire podcast she fronted from 2022 to 2024.
Now based in Tennessee, Cooper continues to host The Brett Cooper Show on YouTube, where she talks politics, pop culture, and generational trends.
She amassed millions of followers across her social media channels.
Fox News Media announced her addition as part of an expanding lineup of younger, right-leaning voices.
The company operates cable networks Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network, as well as streaming services like Fox Nation.
Though Cooper wasn’t hired solely to attract a new demographic, insiders believe her Gen Z following could help pull in younger viewers, The Daily Mail reported.
According to Nielsen data, the average Fox News viewer is 69 years old.
As per a Morning Consult poll, only about 30 percent of Gen Z regularly watch broadcast or cable news, according to polling.

Fox said Cooper will bring her “grounded perspective, sharp wit and distinctive takes” to its platforms.
Her commentary will cover culture, politics, and social issues through a conservative lens.
“I watched the media landscape change, and young people are just hungry for independent voices who are authentic and honest with their audiences,” Cooper said while appearing on Fox’s Jesse Watters Primetime in January 2025.
“They don’t want to hear from traditional pundits 24/7,” she said.
