Dana Perino’s Absence from FOX News Sparks Concern Among Fans
FOX News viewers have expressed concern over the unexpected absence of Dana Perino from her regular appearances on America’s Newsroom and The Five in recent weeks.
Perino, who previously served as White House Press Secretary under President George W. Bush, has been a staple on FOX News since joining the network in 2009. She has become a familiar face on multiple programs, earning a dedicated following among viewers.
Missing from the Screen
Since 2021, Perino has co-anchored America’s Newsroom alongside Bill Hemmer. Additionally, she plays a key role as one of the co-hosts of The Five, a popular panel discussion show on the network. However, her noticeable absence from both programs has led to speculation and concern among her fans.
FOX News confirmed that Perino last appeared on-air on July 28. However, no official explanation has been given for her absence. While it appears she has taken time off, possibly to spend with family, neither she nor the network has provided further details.
Social Media Updates
Although she has been off the air, Perino has remained active on social media, frequently sharing pictures of her beloved dog, Percy. Despite these updates, many fans have taken to social media to question why she has not been appearing on FOX News as regularly as before.
“Is anyone else missing @DanaPerino? I hope she’s not sick. It feels strange not having Dana on America’s Newsroom and The Five,” one concerned fan tweeted. “Dana, come back soon—you’re greatly missed. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.”
Another viewer echoed the sentiment, saying, “I was thinking the same thing. She’s been gone a lot in the last few months.”
Others also speculated about her well-being, with one person writing, “I hope you’re okay, Dana. You seem to be off a lot lately.”
Temporary Replacements
During Perino’s absence, FOX News anchor Julie Banderas has stepped in to co-host America’s Newsroom. Banderas confirmed the change on July 31 via Twitter, informing viewers that she would be filling in for Perino throughout the week.
While many fans welcomed Banderas, some continued to voice their concerns about Perino’s continued absence.
“Yay! Love watching. But people are concerned about Dana. Her absence is noticeable,” one viewer responded to Banderas’s announcement.
Another user asked, “Is Dana off AGAIN??? I enjoy Julie, but is everything okay with Dana?”
Awaiting Confirmation
As of now, there has been no official word from either Dana Perino or FOX News regarding her absence. The uncertainty has left many viewers eager for her return and hoping for an update on her status.
The Sun has reached out to both Perino and FOX News for comment but has yet to receive a response. Until then, fans continue to speculate and hope for her return to the network soon.
