EXCLUSIVE Fox News taps into Gen Z audience with glamorous young conservative star boasting 4.5 million followers
Fox News is getting a Gen Z glow up, bringing on rising online star Brett Cooper to provide her insights on the conservative network, the Daily Mail can exclusively report. The 23-year-old first came into right-wing prominence as the host of Daily Wire's podcast, The Comments Section, which she hosted from January 2022 until December 2024. She still hosts The Brett Cooper Show on her independent YouTube channel, which boasts 1.58 million followers. She discusses current events, pop culture, politics, generational shifts and relationships – all from a young, conservative perspective. Cooper, however, is now an exclusive contributor to Fox News, where the age of the average viewer is 69 years young, according to the most recent Nielsen data. The Gen Z conservative personality will make her debut in her new role on The Will Cain Show in the 4:00 p.m. hour on Fox News Channel on Wednesday. A person familiar with the industry told the Daily Mail that while Cooper wasn't hired to attract a different audience, it's very likely that she will help Fox reach a younger generation that doesn't usually tune-in to network television. Millennial and Generation Z audiences are much less likely to turn or even subscribe to cable television. A Morning Consult poll found that just 27 to 30 percent of Gen Z tune-in to broadcast or cable news sources weekly. Most – 63 percent – get their news from social media, which is where Cooper came to fame. Fellow conservative media personality Riley Gaines joins Cooper as part of the small group of Gen Z talent swept up by Fox. Gaines is a former collegiate swimmer known for her activism campaigning against biological men competing in women's sports. She retired from swimming and since 2023 has hosted the Fox Nation podcast Gaines for Girls. Just last week, Gaines posted an image with Cooper to her Instagram with both boasting their pregnant bellies. 'Just two gals growing babies,' Gaines captioned the image with her now-fellow Fox star. Cooper is also joining a roster of other young conservatives on the right-leaning network, including Lawrence Jones, Trey Yingst and Bill Melugin, to name a few millennials signed with Fox. Cooper was born in Washington state, but was raised in her earlier years in Chattanooga, Tennessee. When she was just 10, Cooper relocated to Los Angeles, California to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. At 15 she hired a lawyer and got herself emancipated. She studied at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), from where she obtained her major in English literature. She also obtained a minor in business from UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business. Before and while growing in the conservative commentary world, Cooper had some minor roles in a few television shows and movies. She is starring as Snow White in The Daily Wire's version of the classic, which is still listed as in production. Cooper currently lives outside of Nashville, Tennessee with her husband, Alex Tombul, whom she married in April 2024. They have several farm animals. In a May post to her 1.3 million Instagram followers, Cooper announced she is pregnant with their first child.

Brett Cooper describes what the future of media looks like and dishes about her new show
Conservative commentator and internet star Brett Cooper is opening up about the changing media landscape as her new show is set to launch this week. Brett Cooper, who gained popularity hosting "The Comments Section" on The Daily Wire, is now branching out independently with "The Brett Cooper Show" that is slated to premiere January 30 at 1 p.m. ET. The media star has gained 9 million followers across her social media platforms and is well-known for bringing conservative thought to young Americans. "I'm starting my new show," Cooper told "Jesse Watters Primetime" on Tuesday. "I wanted to be independent. I watched the media landscape change over the last couple of years, but especially leading into this election, and young people are just hungry for independent voices who are authentic and honest with their audiences. They don't want to hear from traditional pundits 24/7." Trump White House Rolls Out Social Media Account To Hold 'Fake News Accountable' The 23-year-old star reflected on how the culture has shifted to where young Americans "on the right" are now considered "edgy," pointing out that young people changed history during the American Revolution. "We think about those guys, and they were pretty normal, and they were wanting freedom, and they were wanting the life that we have built now in this country. They were very young, which I think people often forget. These were 17-to 22-year-old men who are hungry and huge dreamers, and I feel like we're getting back to that actually, in a very cool way." Read On The Fox News App The media landscape has opened the door for everyday Americans to "have a voice" and "share their own opinions," whether through X or even Substack, Cooper reflected. "People have a voice in a way that they haven't had, ever," she said. Cooper says the goal of her work is to invite Americans to open up to another perspective. "If I can change your perspective on who we are and what we believe and what we stand for, even if it's not to change your mind or change your vote, but to make you have more respect for your friends who think differently than you, then I've done what I want to do," she said. "It's just trying to reach across the aisle with nuance and empathy, because I think that … things are changing," she continued. "We saw that in 2024, and so, I think there's a lot more progress to be made."Original article source: Brett Cooper describes what the future of media looks like and dishes about her new show
