Fox News host Sean Hannity offered to let WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange guest host his radio show after Assange floated the idea of starting his own show or podcast.
Hannity was responding to a tweet from the WikiLeaks founder, who said on Twitter that several “U.S. networks” have suggested he start his own broadcast.
“Several U.S. networks suggest I start a weekly radio broadcast/podcast from within the embassy siege. A good idea? Ideas for format, title?” Assange tweeted.
Hannity said it was a “great idea” and offered a potential name for the series: the “JA Show.” The Fox News host, whose radio show airs for three hours in the afternoon, then suggested Assange could take over for him one day.
“@JulianAssange If you would like to fill in for me one day I am on over 550 stations and 14 plus million listeners,” Hannity said on Twitter.
Great idea. JA show. https://t.co/qXUQAup7Of
