Williams, plus two rotating guests, who are called specialists, who discuss current events and political issues.[1] It was created to replace The Five, that Bolling used to be a co-host for, due to that show moving to 9pm ET,[2] in the wake of Bill O'Reilly being forced out at Fox News.[3] The first two guest co-hosts for the first episode were Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and television producer Mark McKinnon. The first episode also featured an interview, conducted by Bolling, with President Donald Trump.

Upon Bolling's ultimate departure from FNC in September, the network canceled Fox News Specialists.[6][7] In its place, The Five returned to its initial 5 p.m. time slot.
