Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity will interview President Trump during the Super Bowl LIV pregame show on FOX, and the highest-rated host on cable news plans to let the commander-in-chief do most of the talking.
“My job is to let people hear from the president, not from me,” Hannity said. “And it’s the Super Bowl, so it’s also about the big game!”

The Fox News host has interviewed essentially every newsmaker and key political figure during his storied career but is well aware of the significance of the traditional Super Bowl interview with the sitting president.
“After 31 years in radio and 24 years at FNC, it’s just an honor to do this interview,” Hannity said.
