The announcement is also the first official word that Pellegrino was joining the network.
Prior to Newsmax, Pellegrino worked as a White House correspondent for One America News where, on one occasion, she was critical of Newsmax for censoring My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell.
Her critiques came after Newsmax anchor Bob Sellers walked off the set as Lindell tried to repeat disproven claims of election fraud.

It has been an adventurous 2021 for MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. In February he appeared on Newsmax and gave a rant so unhinged that anchor Bob Sellers literally walked off in the midst of it. Then he announced he d be launching his own social media platform, called Frank. The launch of Frank failed spectacularly (twice) and he ended up livestreaming a talk show on the platform, during which he was prank-called.
What s next for this man, you might ask? He s appearing on
Jimmy Kimmel Live.
On Tuesday, Kimmel offered an open invitation for Lindell to come on the show for an interview, with the condition that Lindell be placed in a bed surrounded by the pillows he sells. Lindell read this out loud during the Frank livestream and agreed, although noted that goosefeather pillows are bad for you.
