WASHINGTON, DC. (THECOUNT) — Many fans of Judge Jeanine Pirro, who has the number 1 rated show on Fox News Saturdays, are worried the host have have gotten canned after her show failed to appear on the popular news network’s list of upcoming broadcasts.
Pirro’s show, “Justice With Judge Jeanine,” didn’t air in its regular time slot, Saturday, one week after comments she made questioning U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar over her wearing a Muslim head covering.

Fox News offered no explanation for the missing telecast.
Pirro’s show was replaced Saturday night by other programming.
The Fox News schedule for the upcoming weekend doesn’t include the show either.
An email seeking comment was sent Sunday to Fox representatives, reports KSDK.
President Donald Trump tweeted Sunday morning about Pirro’s absence, saying she should be brought back.
“Stop working soooo hard on being politically correct, which will only bring you down, and continue to fight for our Country. The losers all want what you have, don’t give it to them,” one of his tweets said.
Pirro had questioned whether Omar’s wearing of a hijab was “indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which is in itself antithetical to the U.S. Constitution?”
Omar, in a tweet, thanked Fox for the statement, saying no one should question a person’s commitment to the Constitution because of a person’s faith or country of origin.
Omar is a Somali immigrant.
Pirro is the former district attorney from New York’s Westchester County.
