Mike Rowe, Kelsey Grammer, Stuart Varney,
Danielle Trotta, Kacie McDonnell, Cheryl Casone and Ben Weiss to
Host All-New Episodes of Original and Returning “FBN Prime”
Programs
FOX Business Network (FBN) will kick off the second season of
its hit primetime programming slate, FBN Prime, on Monday, April
25th, announced Lauren Petterson, president of the network.
Following a successful inaugural season last fall, the network will
bring back FBN Prime favorites, including How America Works with
Mike Rowe, American Built hosted by Stuart Varney, Mansion
Global hosted by Kacie McDonnell and American Dream Home
hosted by Cheryl Casone. Additionally, new offerings including
My Dream Car hosted by Danielle Trotta, Billion Dollar
Idea with Ben Weiss, and Legends & Lies narrated by
Kelsey Grammer join the primetime lineup this season.
In making the announcement, Petterson said, “We’re thrilled to
debut an all-new season of FBN Prime, showcasing the many
inspirational stories behind some of America’s most successful
businesses and innovations.”
Starting Monday, April 25th at 8:00 PM/ET, Mike Rowe will once
again lead off the new FBN Prime season, this time on camera as
host, narrator, and executive producer of How America Works
(Mondays at 8:00 PM/ET). The hour-long program, which takes an
in-depth look at the skilled workforce across the country and the
complicated systems that keep our infrastructure operational, will
spotlight industries including law enforcement, beef, textiles, and
many others. Rowe, a seasoned primetime host and the founder of the
mikeroweWORKS foundation, brings years of professional and
philanthropic experience as he highlights the unsung heroes who
help make American life work so seamlessly. In addition to being
among the top five most-affluent shows in cable news, season one of
How America Works notched the highest-rated Monday in the time slot
for the year in the 25-54 demo.
At 9:00 PM/ET, My Dream Car! (Mondays at 9:00 PM/ET) will make
its FBN Prime debut. Hosted by former FOX Sports and NASCAR
reporter Danielle Trotta, the program follows the sentimental
journey of families finding, buying, restoring, and surprising
their parents with the car they once owned and loved. While each
episode captures the nostalgia associated with the car, it also
showcases the ingenuity involved in rebuilding and resurrecting
each car. A combination of American history coupled with heartfelt
family stories, this series is a touching tribute to the connection
Americans have with our cars. Trotta got her start in sports
journalism in Charlotte, North Carolina, later moving to FOX Sports
where she covered NASCAR and the NFL. She then worked at NBC Sports
Boston as a cast member of Boston Sports Tonight and currently
serves as co-host of SiriusXM program On Track providing insight
into the world of NASCAR racing.
On Tuesday, April 26th at 8:00 and 8:30 PM/ET, one of FBN’s
top-rated hosts Stuart Varney will dive back into the design and
creativity of iconic American landmarks with back-to-back episodes
of American Built (Tuesdays at 8:00 and 8:30PM/ET). Notably, the
show commanded the most affluent audience in 2021 with the 25-54
demo in median income and delivered FBN’s highest-rated Monday in
the timeslot for the year with total viewers. The series, which
first started on FOX Nation, features the architects, engineers and
historians who describe the sacrifice and work that went into the
creation of these U.S. attractions. This season, American Built
will visit landmarks including Mount Rushmore, Fenway Park, the
Guggenheim Museum and many more.
Following at 9:00 PM/ET, billionaire businessman Ben Weiss,
founder of beverage brands Bai and Crook & Marker, will debut
Billion Dollar Idea (Tuesdays at 9:00 PM/ET). Focused on the people
behind the next “billion-dollar idea,” the show will feature 15
elite entrepreneurs who will compete head-to-head, testing their
ideas with the hopes of being the winner of Weiss’ up to one
million dollar investment. Weiss, the creator of Bai, a
revolutionary beverage company that was sold for $1.7 Billion, has
seen firsthand the ingenuity and hard work that is necessary for
success, especially during difficult times as his own company was
started during the 2009 Great Recession.
On Wednesdays at 8:00 and 8:30 PM/ET, Kacie McDonnell helms
back-to-back episodes of the luxury real estate program Mansion
Global. Attracting one of the most affluent audiences in 2021 among
the 25-54 demo, the series partners with Mansion Global, a Dow
Jones product, for a 30-minute insider’s look at the latest
extravagant listings in markets across the country. Spotlighting
real estate’s record setting prices, modern masterpieces and the
most sought-after properties on the market, McDonnell will take
viewers on another trip to the most lavish, and at times
outlandish, estates across the country in this all-new season.
At 9:00 and 9:30 PM/ET, FBN’s Cheryl Casone will present a new
season of American Dream Home (Wednesdays at 9:00 and 9:30 PM/ET).
The program shares the emotional and heartwarming stories of
families’ achieving their American dream and finding their forever
home. This season, Casone will place a special emphasis on aspiring
homeowners as they explore waterfront and country living
opportunities in Beach Life and Gone Country themed 30-minute
episodes.
Rounding out the FBN Prime offering on Thursdays at 8:00 and
9:00 PM/ET will be the FBN debut of Legends & Lies. Narrated by
Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning actor Kelsey Grammer, the
program uses dramatic recreations to re-examine stories about
America’s founding, the Wild West, and the Civil War. Grammer’s
storied Hollywood career includes critically acclaimed stints on
Broadway, roles in award-winning movies and his iconic role as Dr.
Frasier Crane on “Cheers” and “Frasier”.
