## History

The show originally debuted on February 27, 2021, with hosts Lawrence B. Jones, Gillian Turner, Lisa Boothe and Sean Duffy. The program was featured regularly on weekends and was officially named part of Fox News' lineup in May 2021.
In May 2023, Fox News announced that The Big Saturday/Sunday show would be renamed The Big Weekend Show and would be moving from the 5 p.m. ET time slot to the 7 p.m. ET slot on June 3, 2023.
In February 2024 the show drew significant criticism for a discussion about a new line of sneakers launched by Donald Trump. Co-host Raymond Arroyo said "(these shoes are) connecting with Black America because they love sneakers. This is a big deal, certainly in the inner city. So when you have Trump roll out his sneaker line, they're like, 'wait a minute, this is cool.' He's reaching them on a level that defies and is above politics." These comments were called "outright racist" by some and traded in "harmful stereotypes" about African Americans and their intelligence. Arroyo has not been seen on the program since.
On January 13, 2025, it was announced that the show would expand to two hours beginning on January 18.
