Elise Jordan made her television debut in 2011 as a guest on Fox News’ Red Eye with Tom Shillue. She made her debut on Hannity later that year.
In 2012, she appeared as a guest on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher. Although an outspoken and progressive Democrat, Bill Maher has always welcomed guests of all political stripes. In 2013, she appeared on the shows On the Record with Brit Hume and Fox & Friends.
Elise Jordan appeared sporadically on Hannity until 2014, when she decided to try something different. Since graduating from Yale, she had largely lived in a conservative vacuum. During her time in the Bush administration and at Fox News, she had few opportunities to test her ideas and aspirations.
That changed when Elise Jordan joined NBC News and MSNBC in January 2016. The host regularly asked her questions on MSNBC, which is widely seen as a progressive version of Fox News, something she never experienced while working at Fox.
