Alan Colmes joined FOX News Channel in 1996, where he serves as the liberal counterpart to conservative Sean Hannity in Hannity & Colmes, a one-hour debate-driven talk show focusing on the day's most controversial newsmakers and stories.
As America's most prominent radio and now, television, liberal amidst a sea of right-wing conservative talk show hosts, Alan Colmes might be described as a professional dragon slayer. Unlike many talkfests, filled with harmonious voices soothing the ego of the host, "The Alan Colmes Program" and "Hannity and Colmes", are cacophonies of discordant voices, many of whom regard Colmes as the guy they love to hate.
Everything Colmes does seems to generate strong responses from whomever is paying attention. This includes everything from his political views, to his personal life, to his hair. The Colmes program also makes the best use of its staff's creative abilities. Through an innovative use of parody, music, and humorous bits, the Alan Colmes show doesn't just inform, it entertains.
Colmes has interviewed many key political figures, including former President Bill Clinton, former Vice President Al Gore, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Steve Forbes, former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, Ralph Nader and former Independent Counsel Ken Starr.
