FOX News Media has officially signed conservative Gen Z influencer and podcaster Brett Cooper as a contributor, the network announced Wednesday. Cooper will offer commentary on cultural, social, and political issues across all FOX News Media platforms.
Known for her sharp delivery and relatable tone, Cooper has quickly risen in prominence, especially among younger audiences.
She launched The Brett Cooper Show in January, and since then, she has built a digital following of over nine million across various social media platforms.
“Her grounded perspective, sharp wit, and distinctive takes” are what FOX highlighted in their announcement, signaling a push to broaden the network’s generational appeal without compromising its conservative identity.
Before her latest show, Cooper hosted The Comments Section, a video podcast that mixed politics with pop culture and generational commentary—often covering trending topics, online discourse, and cultural flashpoints with a blend of sarcasm and insight.
Cooper, who is based in Tennessee and holds a degree from UCLA, is already familiar to FOX audiences.
In January, she appeared on Jesse Watters Primetime to discuss how the media environment is shifting, particularly for younger Americans. “Young people are just hungry for independent voices who are authentic and honest,” she said. “They don’t want to hear from traditional pundits 24/7.”
Her appointment marks FOX News Media’s continued investment in cross-platform voices who can engage with digital-first audiences while still anchoring to the network’s broader ideological foundation.
