Huckabee is a TV political commentary program on Fox News hosted by former Republican Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. It premiered September 27, 2008, at 8 PM EDT.
It was announced on January 3, 2015 that Huckabee would step down from hosting Huckabee to make a possible run in the 2016 presidential election; however, he said he would not make a decision until Spring 2015.
Barring pre-emption, new episodes of Huckabee regularly aired on Saturdays at 8 PM ET. Repeats were shown on the following Sunday (the next day) at 3 AM, 8 PM and 11 PM ET.
The show was shot before a live studio audience. Huckabee starts with an opening monologue discussing issues of the day, then opens the floor to field several questions from the audience. The show also features one or more guests as well as a panel of commentators.
Huckabee maintains a genial style as host and speaker, "markedly less combative" than other commentators on the Fox network. Tonal differences aside, he believes the show's conservative political content is harmonious with other Fox hosts past and present such as Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly, saying "I'm certainly on the same ideological spectrum" as them.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck was the show's first guest. Huckabee has interviewed political figures such as Karl Rove, Laura Bush, Michelle Obama, Geraldine Ferraro, Chuck Colson, Tom Ridge, Rod Blagojevich, Ed Rendell, Mike Rounds, Chuck Grassley, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Tom DeLay, Franklin Graham, Tim LaHaye, Arianna Huffington, Ann Coulter, and Alina Fernández; former head of the FDNY and NYPD Howard Safir; U.N. Ambassador John R. Bolton; former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani; former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich; former Secretaries of State Lawrence Eagleburger and Madeleine Albright; former Vice President Dan Quayle; former British Prime Minister Tony Blair; and Israel President Shimon Peres.
