Info

Hannity & Colmes was a live television show on Fox News Channel in the United States, hosted by Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes, who respectively presented a conservative and liberal perspective. The series premiered on October 7, 1996, and the final episode aired on January 9, 2009. It was the precursor to the Hannity program, which airs in the same time slot. The show offered Hannity's conservative views and Colmes's liberal views incorporated into a current news story, or in conjunction with a featured guest. In addition to politics, the show featured debate about soft news stories, such as the 2006 Duke University lacrosse team scandal or the death of Anna Nicole Smith, or one-on-one interviews with politicians, commonly with the host who most closely shared the guest's political ideology. The show's format resembled a former CNN show called Crossfire, which similarly had co-hosts on both the left and right. Fox announced on November 24, 2008 that Alan Colmes would leave the show at the end of the year, but he remains a commentator on Fox News, runs Liberaland, and makes occasional appearances on other programs like The O'Reilly Factor, and Shovio.com's TalkBackTV. On December 11, it was announced that Hannity would take over the time slot alone with a new show simply titled Hannity, which would have a format closer to his weekend program Hannity's America. January 9, 2009 was the last airing of Hannity & Colmes, with January 12 marking the beginning of the new Hannity program.

Hannity & Colmes Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
jdemarre3000 Reading the comments here is rather funny. They seem to be commenting on whether they love or hate Sean Hannity's views or whether or not they think that Fox News is run by a bunch of neocon hacks trying to take over the world. I don't think this is the place that should be discussed. So, I think I'll go out on a limb and actually comment on the show itself.This show is alright, most of the time. It gets old quick sometimes though, as there's Sean and Alan and then the respective conservative and liberal guests all going off at once yelling at each other like a bunch of third graders. That's really annoying and not very conducive to an intelligent discussion.On the right side, Sean Hannity tends to nitpick about whether or not guests literally answer his question in a "yes or no" when he could be talking about the actual issues. He comes across as a blow-hard sometimes and usually will unfailingly stand by the "mainstream" Republican side of an issue.On the left side, Alan Colmes tends to go off topic with his questions. Particularly when conservatives are alleging Democrats are wrong on an issue, Alan seems to go off and talk about how some Republican also supports whatever the issue is.All in all though, the debate can be quite interesting sometimes as they often have relevant guests discussing relevant issues, but all too often they end up in shouting matches that aren't exactly conducive to an intelligent discussion. Sort of like the comments here, a bunch of irrational ideologues missing the point and barking their respective at each other.
M0KUJIN Let me ask:What scares extremist radio talk show host & FOX News star Sean Hannity to the bone? Freedom? Free speech? Free thought? Free people? He feels insecure in an uncertain universe. Extreme right wingers such as sh*t-eater Sean Hannity crave order and simplicity, and will impose these things where they are not and should never be.Extreme right wingers such as Sean Hannity care about their feelings, not facts. Facts must either support rigid extremist right wing beliefs, or else the facts must be wrong. Those who present facts which contradict right wing dogma must be evil.Extreme right wingers such as Sean Hannity support idiotic, even fatal policies because they place utter nonsense over knowledge. They believe using condoms increases the chance of pregnancy and STDs. They think racism is OK, but pointing out racism is "playing the race card."They want to punish anyone who strays from the fold. They brutally suppress anyone who questions authority, and they always obey abusive controllers. What scares extreme right wingers to the bone? Essays like this, people like me who write them, and people like you who read them and pass them on. They are afraid of their own freedom. They are even more afraid of yours.Avoid Hannity's mockery of a "debate show" as you would an oncoming speeding vehicle.
Achtung_Baby007 Although I usually enjoy debate shows, this one is very average. Even though I usually side with Hannity, there's no denying that he's just not all that intelligent. He just says whatever all the other conservatives are saying. The liberal Colmes isn't much better. They do have good guests and war coverage, though.
lwf31407_2k1 And that only scratches the surface. Mindlessly distortionistic of fact and truth. as is FOX TV News in it's entirety. None the less this excuse fo a show is given worldwide acclaim. Just goes to show you how some people cannot think for themselves. Anybody watching this show, do yourself a favor and stop it.
