Fox News made a glittering appearance at New York\u2019s annual Al Smith Dinner on October 17, as several of the network\u2019s biggest personalities gathered for one of the most prestigious charity galas of the year. Among the guests were Emily Compagno, Ainsley Earhardt, Lawrence B. Jones, Carley Shimkus, Janice Dean, Kennedy, Nate Foy, and Brian Kilmeade \u2014 all dressed to the nines for a night of laughter, music, and fundraising inside the ballroom at the Hilton Midtown.<\/p>\n
Compagno, who shared a carousel of photos from the event, captioned her post, \u201cAll your Friends * at the Al Smith dinner \ud83d\udc96,\u201d showing the Fox crew posing together in their black-tie best. Dean echoed the sentiment on her own feed, posting, \u201cWe are family!\u201d \u2014 a fitting reflection of the camaraderie among the group that\u2019s long been known to share more than just a newsroom.<\/p>\n
But the highlight of the night wasn\u2019t the dinner, the speeches, or even the photo itself \u2014 it was Brian Kilmeade\u2019s unplanned absence from that photo. According to Compagno\u2019s playful retelling, the Fox & Friends co-host was \u201ctoo busy dancing\u201d to join his colleagues for the group picture. She recounted between laughs that Kilmeade had \u201cdisappeared the moment the band started playing,\u201d and when she waved him over, \u201che was already halfway into a swing move.\u201d<\/p>\n
By the time he returned to the table, the pictures were done \u2014 and the teasing began. Shimkus reportedly told him he\u2019d \u201cmissed the shot of the night,\u201d while Lawrence Jones joked that Kilmeade\u2019s tuxedo had \u201cseen more spins than a campaign rally.\u201d Even Janice Dean joined in, joking on X the next morning that Kilmeade \u201cdanced right out of the frame \u2014 classic Brian.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Al Smith Dinner, known for bringing together political, media, and religious leaders in a spirit of humor and charity, proved to be the perfect setting for the Fox team\u2019s lighter side. Between courses of filet mignon and dessert served beneath chandeliers, the network\u2019s stars mingled with fellow attendees and traded laughs between speeches. Foy, who joined the network in 2022, was seen chatting with Archbishop Timothy Dolan, while Earhardt and Compagno shared a toast during the live orchestra performance.<\/p>\n
For Fox\u2019s on-air personalities \u2014 who often appear together in high-stakes, high-pressure news environments \u2014 the event offered a rare chance to unwind. \u201cIt\u2019s so special to be together outside the studio,\u201d Compagno told one reporter during the evening. \u201cWe\u2019re like family, and nights like this remind us why we love what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n
The black-tie affair raised millions for the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation, which supports charities across New York. But for many in attendance, it was Kilmeade\u2019s dance-floor detour that stole the spotlight. When asked about it on his morning radio show, the veteran host laughed it off: \u201cThey got a great picture \u2014 just without me. I was busy keeping the party alive. Somebody had to.\u201d<\/p>\n
By the time the last glasses were cleared and the orchestra played its closing number, the Fox family had turned a formal night of charity into something much warmer \u2014 a celebration of friendship, laughter, and the kind of genuine chemistry viewers rarely get to see off-camera. As Dean summed it up best in her post: \u201cWe are family \u2014 even when one of us is on the dance floor.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
