Alison is an asset to Newsmax! She does not interrupt, like Rob Finerty—although I do like him, but he needs to lose the pushiness. Alison sits quietly while he interrupts her and the guests. She is not pushy or self-aggrandizing, but down-to-earth, and promotes conservative values and factual reporting. I was glad to hear she did not leave Newsmax!
Thank God Alison will be back on! She brings authenticity to Wake Up America and would be greatly missed. I noticed immediately that She was gone and replaced, without any word as to why. I had to come here to find out what was going on. I was seriously thinking of changing to a new show for my morning news if I hadn’t heard that She would be coming back. Besides the obvious fact that She is beautiful, She is also “unflappable”, and handles everything She does with Grace and Poise which is rare in TV news these days. Rob Finnerty and Alison Maloni complement each other so well, and to separate them would be a disaster for Wake Up America. Rob Finnertie’s voices He does are great comic relief, and I wish He would do more of them. Perhaps a segment entitled “ROB FINICKY DOES THE NEWS”. Rob & Alison, I wish you both the best, You’re Awesome!
Allison Maloni is a breath of fresh air! She has both professionalism and heart! She is not pushy or self-aggrandizing, but her sincerity and commitment to conservative values shines through. Her personality, to me, shines and shows her number one priority is to promote factual reporting, and not herself.
I was Fox viewer for 26 years but left after Tucker left. Alison was great! I just wish Wake Up America started earlier. I never miss The Wise Guys on Wednesday A.M. another great show! As for Fox, they are falling fast.
It’s just not the same without Rob and Allison together on the morning show!
We missed Alison and wondered what happened. Her co host Finnerty was obnoxious and thinks he runs the show. No one can get a word in and thinks its his show! Send him to Fox! Keep Alison!
Glad Alison is still with newsmax . A true professional.
Yes I missed Allison. I think she adds a lot to the news show. Hopefully we’ll see her on another time slot.
Unlike the viewer above with disdain for Alison, far more people see her for what she truly is which is a media professional. I was a loyal Fox viewer until they fired Tucker Carlson in a ‘woke’ moment and flipped over to Newsmax because Fox has lost its way. I’m glad Alison is back and working new projects. A loss of her at the station would clearly result in Newsmax loyalists jumping ship as they did with Fox.
No. I have never liked Alison Maloni. Very annoying. No personality. So glad I don’t have to watch her. I had been changing the station until Wake Up America was off. So glad I can now watch Finnerty. He is a joy to watch.
