One of my favorite things about Fox News hosts is that if you miss one of your favorites, there’s a good chance you can catch them at another time, because many of them pull double duty at the network. In the case of this week’s Dozen, sometimes it’s even triple duty. Not only is Eric Bolling a co-host on “The Five” and host of “Cashin’ In” on Fox News, but he also occasionally guest hosts on “The O’Reilly Factor” and “Hannity.”
Prior to joining Fox News, Bolling was a commodities trader specializing in gold, natural gas and crude oil. After developing “Fast Money” on CNBC, he joined Fox Business and Fox News.
This New Year’s Eve, Bolling, along with co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle, has the honor of hosting the farewell party for 2016. In a year of ups and downs (aren’t they all?), you can be sure that Fox News’ “All-American New Year” is one you don’t want to miss. Festivities begin at 11 p.m. EST live from Times Square in New York.
The De Pasquale's Dozen asks political figures and free market-minded writers and entertainers to take a break from politics and talk about their pop culture obsessions.

“I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse” - The Godfather

We were very poor, so when I finally made some money, I bought my parents an apartment so they could move out of the old house we grew up in… my proudest moment.

My mom’s final words on earth… she whispered into my ear: “Never quit” (I won’t!)

I’ve always been a political junkie. I was honored to be on a Duke University fellowship when I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates. I left politics for baseball and years later I find myself back in the political arena… big league!
