With Cain bringing new eyeballs to Fox News, here are six things to know about the ratings-grabbing anchor.
He Played Water Polo at University
Born and raised in Sherman, Texas, Cain later moved to California to attend Pepperdine University, where he graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in telecommunications in 1997.
While at Pepperdine, Cain joined the water polo team as a walk-on, scoring his one and only goal in a 1996 game against UC Santa Barbara.

“Pepperdine water polo was extremely accommodating in its development of a walk-on such as me, and that’s something positively unique about this program,” he told pepperdinewaves.com in 2010. “I almost went to USC, and I’m sure that if I did have a water polo career there it would have been much shorter.”
Cain went on to complete his J.D. degree at the University of Texas School of Law in 2000.
He Joined Fox News in 2020
After University, Cain moved back home to care for his younger brother following the passing of their father in 2001. While in Texas, Cain bought two community newspapers and started others before selling them to Stephens Media. This would be the start of his career in news media.
He worked as a fill-in host for CNN’s In The Arena in 2011 and began working at ESPN in 2015 as a radio personality, eventually hosting his own show, The Will Cain Show, in 2018.
In 2020, he made the jump from ESPN to Fox News, serving as co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend alongside Jedediah Bila and Pete Hegseth. He also regularly filled in as a host on programs such as The Five and Jesse Watters Primetime.
He Is Close Friends With Pete Hegseth
After hosting Fox & Friends Weekend together for the past several years, Cain and Hegseth became close friends.
Speaking on the PBD Podcast in November 2024, Cain opened up about his friendship with President Donald Trump‘s secretary of defence, saying, “He is a real friend of mine, not a TV friend. I have said when I’m done here on this planet, I want him to be one of the guys to carry my casket.”
