E. D. Hill (born Edith Ann Tarbox on July 27, 1961) is an American news anchor who works for Fox News Channel.
Joining the network in 1998, Hill anchored America's Pulse, a show that aired until June 10, 2008 when it was canceled. She co-hosts Bill O'Reilly's Radio Factor. Hill moved to the 2:00 p.m. hour after serving as host of the 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon block of Fox News Live. These changes were part of a line-up change that also includes fellow anchors Jon Scott and Jane Skinner teaming up for a show called Happening Now.[1] Previously, Hill was a co-host on the Fox News Channel's morning show Fox & Friends from 1999 to 2006.
A graduate of the University of Texas with a bachelor's degree in journalism, she is working on a master's degree in government. Hill won a local Emmy Award for Outstanding News Special while working for WHDH-TV in Boston (1990-91), and has also received a Golden Quill Award for live spot news reporting.
In November 2005 Hill published a book entitled Going Places: How America's Best and Brightest Got Started Down the Road of Life, a collection of personality profiles. She has been married three times and is the mother of five children and stepmother to her husband's, venture capitalist Joe Hill, three children from a previous marriage.
More recently, she has filled in for Bill O'Reilly on The O'Reilly Factor.
In June 2008, Hill was criticized for referring to an affectionate gesture made between Barack Obama and his wife after the final 2008 presidential Democratic primaries as a "terrorist fist jab". Hill, introducing an upcoming discussion, wondered aloud if the gesture was "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab?"[2][3][4][5][6] Hill apologized for her comments. [7]
Fox News announced on June 10, 2008 that Hill's show America's Pulse had been canceled.[8] Hill's future with the channel has not been announced.
