Banfield is an American late-night television program that airs Monday through Friday on NewsNation in the United States, hosted by long-time cable news journalist Ashleigh Banfield. It originally premiered on March 1, 2021, and is considered the flagship interview program on the NewsNation network.[1]
Banfield was inspired by CNN's Larry King Live as a program which would seek to have a dialogue with guests, without interrogatory questions. Initially, Banfield said that most programs interview one guest, although multiple guests may be interviewed depending on events in the news.[2] However, since the show has begun, most episodes feature two guests interviewed separately, or a panel focused on a theme.
