Will Cain is an American commentator and television host who presents The Will Cain Show weekdays at 4 p.m. Eastern on Fox News and the Will Cain Country podcast on Fox News Audio. He was born in Sherman, Texas, in 1975, studied telecommunications at Pepperdine University, where he played water polo, and earned a law degree from the University of Texas in 2000. Before his broadcasting career he bought and sold a group of Texas community newspapers and founded the company Quince Media.

Cain moved into political commentary as a host at TheBlaze and an analyst for CNN, where he co-hosted In the Arena in 2011 and later appeared on Starting Point. He joined ESPN in 2015 as a contributor, hosted his own ESPN Radio show and argued on First Take until 2020. That year he moved to Fox News as a co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend, and in 2023 he was among the interim hosts of Fox News Tonight. In January 2025 the network gave him the 4 p.m. hour long held by Neil Cavuto, and The Will Cain Show debuted on January 21.

UFOs became a recurring subject on the show in 2026. On April 2 it covered a list of scientists and officials tied to NASA, Los Alamos and defense research who had died or gone missing, a story Cain returned to on his own program and on Martha MacCallum's The Story. He said the overlaps in their work raised questions, while noting that any direct connection remained unconfirmed. The FBI said it was looking into the cases, and news organizations that examined the missing scientists list found no evident link among them.

The show also became a stop for lawmakers and officials pressing for disclosure. Representative Tim Burchett answered "100%" when asked on the program whether there had been contact with aliens, and retired Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet told Cain that President Trump's UFO files release was an opportunity to tell Americans they were not alone and were being visited by non-human intelligences. When the Department of War published its first tranche of UFO files on May 8, 2026, Cain called it a "massive disappointment" and a "nothing burger" and said it was making him more of a skeptic. That day he told Representative Eric Burlison that evidence needed to start meeting expectations. Burlison called the release a teaser and said he could obtain and release videos he had seen if the administration did not.

Cain has described himself as open and curious about UAP while saying the first official releases made him more skeptical. His hour gave disclosure-minded members of Congress a large conservative cable audience in 2026, and he used it to press those guests on whether the government's releases matched what they had promised.
