Fox makes a practice of installing hosts who have (or had-Laura Ingraham) radio programs who can bring audience to TV and Fox also employs "contributors" with radio presence for the same reason.
Hannity and Ingraham have never really understood that TV is a different medium from radio. To this day radio personalities have adopted and sadly distorted Rush Limbaugh's frank admission that the purpose of the show was to make the host look good. Both are encumbered by an uncontrollable need to flex their own egos before the nation, too often resulting in an embarrassing or pathetic performance. Rush could carry it off, they can not.
Hannity is especially cringe worthy when he panders to African-American guests with a false bonhomie.
Hannity has an insufferable habit of making everything and everyone about himself which, when one looks at it from perspective, is typical of a pathetic needful soul.
