Alan Colmes
Host

Alan Colmes joined FOX News Channel (FNC) in 1996. He serves as the liberal counterpart and co-host of Hannity & Colmes (Monday-Friday 9-10PM ET), a one-hour debate-driven talk show focusing on controversial newsmakers and issues of the day.


After a string of successful radio shows on WNBC, WABC and WMCA in New York, Colmes gained a reputation as a hard-hitting liberal known for his electric commentary on the American agenda. He has interviewed many key political and pop culture figures, including Former President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Lynn Cheney, former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, Senators  Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama and John McCain, Newt Gingrich, Deepak Chopra, and Carole King.


After penetrating the Boston and New York markets with hit local radio shows, Colmes went from major market success to national talk radio prominence in 1990 with his fast-paced and informative afternoon news-driven show, which aired daily on hundreds of affiliates nationwide. He now hosts The Alan Colmes Show, a news-driven late-night presentation, which is syndicated by the FOX News and heard on terrestrial radio stations across America, XM and Sirius Satellite Radio, and the American Forces Radio Network.


Joel Morton
Senior Producer
Originally from the Seattle area, Joel moved east to attend NYU Film School, which somehow led to work in TV, radio and the Internet. As the very first intern on Hannity & Colmes, Joel began working with Alan shortly after the launch of Fox News Channel. Alan never bothered to complain about Joel to Fox executives, who eventually gave him a paying job at the network. This led to work on several early FNC programs such as Fox In Depth and Fox On Health, and on the Fox News Guest Booking Unit. He left Fox for a few years, during which he worked at MSNBC and on a political website called Vote.com. After Alan returned to the radio airwaves in 2003, Joel joined him on the Colmes show staff, where he’s now Alan’s Senior Producer. In his spare time, Joel enjoys traveling to Pearl Jam concerts, supporting the Seahawks, and being a couch potato.


Aimee De Benigno
Studio Producer

A native of Danbury, Connecticut, Aimee DeBenigno has been working with Alan since 2006. After attending Marymount Manhattan College in New York to pursue a career in media, Aimee interned at WABC Radio where she found her niche in broadcasting. She was hired full-time after college and worked with several hosts including Monica Crowley and Alan’s TV partner, Sean Hannity. Aimee left the business for a brief period to explore an opportunity in the medical field but was pulled right back to her calling and happily landed on Alan’s show.


Christine Donnelly
Booker

Christine Donnelly, booker for Alan’s radio show, is originally from Garden City, NY and now lives in Manhattan. She’s worked at FOX News since she was 18, from internships to TV and now radio. She graduated from Lehigh University in Pennsylvania with no clue of what to do… but knew that whatever it was, she wanted to do it at FOX. Before joining Alan’s radio show, she was the FOX News Radio Coordinator and concentrated mainly on marketing and sales. More than simply touting Alan’s great ratings in ads, she wanted to contribute to them herself! She pitches stories and books and researches guests to appear on the show.


Mike Boyle
Technical Producer

A former sanitation worker and graduate of Syracuse University, Mike Boyle is the technical producer for Alan’s radio show. Mike has been fascinated with radio for as long as he can remember and knew it was what he wanted to do at an early age after begging his parents to bring him to meet New York radio legend Cousin Bruce Morrow at an appearance in his native Westchester County, NY. After being part of a morning show on college radio Mike went on to work as a jock on Long Island before coming to Fox in 2005. Mike enjoys sleeping in and pursues this enthusiastically given the late hours of Alan’s radio show.


Robin Carson
Assistant to Alan Colmes

Robin got her first taste of television news at WBFF Fox 45 in Baltimore. After that she headed further south to Washington DC, where she interned for a Sunday show on another “Cable News Network” and fell in love with TV and production. She now assists Alan on both Hannity & Colmes and on the radio show, making sure Alan stays informed and up to date. When not at work, Robin likes spending time with her friends and going to the beach in her home state of New Jersey.
