'''Sean Patrick Hannity''' (born December 30, 1961) is a [[conservative]] talk show host and [[television]] co-host of [[Fox News]] ''Hannity and Colmes'' show. The youngest of four children, Hannity was born in [[New York City]] to Irish immigrants. He dropped out of college to embark on [[radio]] career, and in 1988 was at a small-town station of WVNN in Huntsville, Alabama. He later broke into a Top 10 market in Atlanta at 640 AM WGST. His national recognition came as an occasional substitute host of the #1 radio show of all-time - The [[Rush Limbaugh]] Show. Allegedly on his first guest show, he dropped the golden EIB microphone because of a case of high nerves. This nationwide attention paved his way to national syndication.

Critics of the man and his program frequently point toward what they see as a "double-standard", where agreeable guests such as Rudy Giuliani or Trent Lott are not challenged on their controversial views, while conversations with liberal guests rarely avoid such topics.
