Claman, 61, joined Fox Business Network in 2007 as an anchor. She’s known as “the CEO whisperer” for landing interviews with an endless list of top moguls and machers, including Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Jamie Dimon, John Paulson, Woody Johnson and more.
She was previously a CNBC anchor.

Kepnes was a senior producer at CNN from 2003 to 2017, and he headed special events at the news network.
Before joining CNN, he’d spent almost seven years at MSNBC before he returned again to the NBC News fold.
The news vet was also briefly a producer at Fox News circa 2003, according to his LinkedIn profile.

They married at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 1999 when Kepnes was a line producer for ”The News With Brian Williams” and Claman starred on business channel CNBC.
Left-leaning MSNBC is being spun off from parent company NBCUniversal, and is being overhauled by new president Rebecca Kutler, including rearranging the network’s anchor chairs.
In the ratings wars, The Post previously reported how “Fox & Friends” has been drawing more than twice the viewership of rival MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” which has lost nearly half its audience, according to Nielsen figures, since Donald Tr::mp was elected.
Fox News also recently launched a weekend show, “My View with Lara Tr::mp,” which has been beating programs including Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” “Married to Medicine” and “The White Lotus” on HBO Prime, plus college basketball and the NBA on ESPN.
