Chris Wallace is currently the host of Fox News Sunday, a one-hour live broadcast airing Sunday mornings across the nation on FOX Broadcasting Company and on Fox News Channel. Throughout the current election cycle, Wallace has interviewed every presidential candidate from both parties including Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump. Additionally, Wallace, alongside Bret Baier and Megyn Kelly, moderated three presidential primary debates. The first one, which was presented on August 6, 2015, delivered a record breaking 24 million viewers and still stands as the most-watched non-sports cable telecast of all time. Wallace has received strong praise from both sides of the aisle for his moderating skills this cycle where he most notably was the first Sunday news anchor to not agree to telephone interviews with any of the presidential candidates. During his 13 years as host of FNS, Wallace has interviewed numerous political heavyweights and newsmakers, including President Obama, former Presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney, then-Vice President-elect Joe Biden, former U.S. Secretary of States Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell, and the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
