“We’re going to talk about the things that matter to real people,” Kelly said. “Not the curated, sanitized conversations you see on other shows. We’re going to challenge the narratives, push back against the mainstream media, and give people a show that isn’t afraid to speak the truth.”
With Kelly and Owens at the helm, controversy seems all but guaranteed. Both women are no strangers to public backlash—Kelly for her comments about race and her controversial exit from NBC, and Owens for her divisive takes on issues like race, gender, and politics. But for CBS, that’s exactly the point. The network is banking on the pair’s ability to spark conversation, generate headlines, and attract a loyal—and likely passionate—viewership.
Of course, not everyone is thrilled about the new show. Critics of the duo have already taken to social media to voice their concerns, with some accusing CBS of pandering to far-right audiences. Others worry that the show will only deepen the political divide in America.
