Harvey Levin Fox News to air Donald Trump special hosted by TMZ's Harvey Levin

Fox News will air a primetime special about President-elect Donald Trump, hosted by TMZ founder Harvey Levin, the channel said Wednesday.

The one-hour special, called “OBJECTified: Donald Trump”, will air Friday evening at 10 p.m. The special will feature an interview with President-elect Trump filmed in September, when he gave Levin a tour of his home and offered “stories behind each memento” there.

“The special will feature a side of President-elect Donald Trump that has rarely been seen before,” Fox said in its announcement. “Trump recounts the stories behind photos, letters, trophies and other cherished keepsakes he’s acquired throughout his life.”

Some of the stories will include how Trump had an “unfulfilled dream of becoming a Hollywood movie mogul, and the decades old advice from a former President that planted the seeds for his presidential campaign.”

Levin is the host and founder of the entertainment news site and television show TMZ, best known for its big scoops on entertainment stars and catching celebrities at the airport.

For years, questions have swirled over whether and how TMZ might transfer its style to the Hollywood of politics, Washington D.C. Though no official expansion has ever been announced, and the company declined several requests for interviews and questions about the topic earlier this year, this special may be the first step in that direction.
