John Stossel's First Day with FOX

By Chris Ariens on Oct 19, 2009 01:39 PM

John Stossel made his first appearance as a FOX News employee today on The Live Desk with Martha MacCallum and Trace Gallagher.

Gallagher asked Stossel why he joined the FOX family: "The health care story is one of the reasons," Stossel said. While still with ABC News Stossel said he'd produced an hour-long healthcare special, but, "I could not get it on the air at ABC. They were doing Michael Jackson stories. Fox covers the news, so finally, the freedom to talk about a few things I know about."

Stossel will host a program on Fox Business Network and make appearances on Fox News Channel. As for the timing of the premiere of his FBN show, Gallagher said, "We're not exactly sure when."

"It's my first day, cut me some slack," responded Stossel.
