Meanwhile, veteran Fox News anchor Jon Scott has big night ahead of him, as he has been selected to partake in the prestigious honor of pressing the button that lowers the Waterford Crystal ball and counting down the final 60 seconds of 2018 as the world watches.
Scott was chosen to be part of an esteemed group of journalists partaking in the event to put an emphasis on the importance of a free press.
“It's humbling to be chosen to participate in the ball drop in Times Square, not just because of the venue or the size of the viewing audience, but because we're representing journalists all over the world whose voices have been stifled or completely silenced,” Scott said of the honor. “2018 was one of the deadliest years ever for journalists worldwide. Those of us who'll be onstage in Times Square enjoy the protections of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, but thousands of our colleagues across the globe do not.”
