Sean, where are you?

Sean Hannity was notably absent from Fox News’ live election coverage Tuesday night, despite the network’s announcement that he would “provide commentary and insight” throughout the evening.

The Fox News host was scheduled to appear alongside Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, Dana Perino, Mollie Hemingway, Chris Wallace, Brit Hume and others to cover the night of political upheaval, but was nowhere to be seen on TV.

Instead, he spent most of the evening tweeting reactions to various races from his personal Twitter account, which boasts almost four million followers.

Last week, Hannity said on air that he’d be “home drinking heavily, depending either celebrating or in misery, one or the other," but Fox News never changed the itinerary for Tuesday.

A spokeswoman for Fox News did not immediately return a request for comment.
Hannity’s absence comes amid massive backlash after he joined President Trump on stage at a rally in Missouri Monday, which he said wasn’t planned. The Trump campaign, however, had touted that Hannity and Rush Limbaugh would be “special guests” in a press release hours before the event.
