NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- FOX News Channel (FNC) will present a primetime special entitled Charlie Kirk: An American Original hosted by FOX News Channel's Jesse Watters on Saturday, September 13th from 7-8 PM/ET. The program will honor the life and legacy of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, following his tragic assassination at Utah Valley University. An encore presentation will air on Sunday, September 14th at 7 PM/ET, with the program also available for streaming on FOX Nation.
Throughout the special, Watters will reflect on Kirk's extraordinary impact as a conservative thought leader, gifted communicator, and a monumental force for the MAGA movement.
