Newsmax will launch a new prime-time show hosted by Chris Plante beginning on Monday, May 8, at 9 p.m. ET.
"Chris Plante The Right Squad" will be an exciting panel show led by Plante and will include Newsmax veteran Jenn Pellegrino along with three other regular panelists.
The show marks a major new addition to the Newsmax lineup that begins each night with Greta Van Susteren's "The Record," followed by "Rob Schmitt Tonight," and "Eric Bolling The Balance."
A seasoned television journalist and syndicated radio host, Plante each weekday night will join with "The Right Squad" as his team features strong analysis with dynamic conversation and debates.
"The Right Squad" will talk about the major events that are affecting America — and no topic will be off-limits.
Plante is known to audiences for his quick wit, cutting analysis of social and political issues, and his ability to put current news events into context.
"Chris Plante is an award-winning journalist who delivers fact-based news and opinion while keeping the conversation fun and interesting," Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy said. "We are proud he is joining the Newsmax team after years of success at CNN and Cumulus/Westwood One."
Plante is currently the host of "The Chris Plante Show," heard on Washington, D.C.'s, WMAL and syndicated nationally by Westwood One to over 100 stations across the nation. Previously, Plante spent 17 years at CNN with a focus on the Pentagon and national security matters.
"I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the outstanding team at Newsmax and getting to work on a great show dedicated to carving through the fluff to get at the unfiltered truth," Plante said, adding, "And whoever it was that said you can't get the occasional laugh out of today's crazy news obviously did not know me."

Lol! I just want to pluck those eyebrows! I never noticed the lighting cause I can’t get past the eyebrows!!
I moved to Newsmax after the 2020 early call for AZ. I found Tucker on other sources I LOVE Newsmax SCREW Fox, WE ALL brung them to the dance and they gave us the middle finger!! I hope they DIE!!
sharpest political humorist around today, IMO.
his morning radio show is hard for me to catch, so can wait to see chris plante get a prime time tv slot on newsmax!
I highly recommend you try it
Rob Schmitt my favorite.
King of the one liners.
Cool!
Plante has a great podcast you can subscribe to.
I like him. I hope that he does well.
I catch his podcast a couple of times a week. (It’s his 3 hours of morning radio, but without the ad breaks, so it’s really about 2 hours.)
One thing I think is VERY interesting is that he has been really over the top with some of the things he’s said lately.
Example: Saying that M. 0vomit is a man.
He says things that many of suspect are true. They would be slanderous to say if they were false. So why doesn’t someone saying this on a widely distributed public broadcast get sued? I would certainly sue if he was telling lies about me. Perhaps it is because the things he says are true. And because a lawsuit would make the truth very public.
Things are getting interestinger and interestinger. ;-)
A problem I have with Newsmax is the website. They don’t seem to cover United States stories that are not political. Looking over it’s all about politics. There’s no mention of the two incidents this past weekend in Texas with a mall shooting and a car running over people. They don’t have basically any local stories or non-political news. It’s quite disappointing that I have to go back to Fox News’ site for other types of news. If not that then I use other websites. But you would think about Newsmax would be on top of that but the website sure is not.
