Tracy G. Gallagher is an American journalist and the anchor of Fox News @ Night, Fox News' late-night news program.
Background
Gallagher grew up in the ski resort town of Mammoth Lakes, California where he was a quarterback for the Mammoth Huskies high school football team. He graduated from high school in 1979. Gallagher studied at the University of San Diego and he majored in business[1] playing quarterback for the Torero football team.[2]
Fox News
Based in Los Angeles, Gallagher served as a co-anchor (with Martha MacCallum) of The Live Desk and as a substitute anchor for Studio B with Shepard Smith and Fox Report. During his time at Fox, Gallagher has reported on the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster and the 2004 Southeast Asian tsunami.[1] Gallagher has also served as a general assignment correspondent.
He has worked at Fox's Chicago, San Francisco, and New York City news bureaus. Previously Gallagher worked at WCPX (now WKMG) in Orlando, KVBC (now KSNV) in Las Vegas, and KTVB in Boise.
On February 1, 2010, The Live Desk was replaced with America Live with Megyn Kelly. Gallagher continues to anchor and report on Fox programs.[3]
Gallagher has been publicly cited by journalists for making numerous dubious statements on air, including saying in July of 2022 that the COVID-19 misinformation banned on social media “all turned out to be accurate" - a major mischaracterization of the truth.[4] In 2020, while discussing defund the police policy, Gallagher referred to recent comments by James Clyburn who claimed that the movement had hurt his fellow Democrats in elections. When asked, Gallagher was unable to name a single member of Congress who had actually advanced the policy.[5]
On September 21, 2022, he was named permanent host of Fox News @ Night, replacing founding host Shannon Bream after she was named host of Fox News Sunday. He has been hosting the program since October 3, 2022 and is based in the Fox Los Angeles studios.[6][7]
