The interview would be for Fox’s 8 PM show Jesse Watters Primetime, and would air Wednesday Nov. 5. Kirk is expected to discuss her husband’s impact, faith, the timeline of what happened the day he was killed and the future of Turning Point USA.
Charlie Kirk was killed by an assassin during an event at Utah Valley University in September, and Erika subsequently stepped up to lead Turning Point, the organization he founded. She has also continued the tour, called This Is the Turning Point, at universities across the country, including a stop scheduled for this week at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, where Kirk will introduce Vice President JD Vance. Fox Nation, the Fox News streaming service, is expected to live stream that entire event, and Watters is expected to broadcast live from the campus.
The streaming platform is also expected to debut a multi-part documentary series Nov. 7 going behind the scenes of the tour with extensive access to Kirk.
Erika Kirk also spoke at a memorial event for her husband Sep. 21 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and at the White House earlier this month where President Trump posthumously awarded Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Watters was among those who attended the memorial in Arizona, and also hosted a special for Fox News called Charlie Kirk: An American Original in the days after his death.
