He was a correspondent on ''The Daily Show'' on Comedy Central and hosted '' Red Eye'' on Fox News. He has been a supporting cast member on Fox News' '' Gutfeld!'' (formerly called ''The Greg Gutfeld Show'') since the show premiered in 2015. He released his first book, ''Mean Dads for a Better America: The Generous Rewards of an Old-Fashioned Childhood, '' in 2017. In June 2017, Shillue began hosting a weekday afternoon three-hour syndicated talk radio show on Fox News Radio, also heard on Sirius XM's Fox News Talk Channel 450.

Television and film

Shillue appears regularly on ''Late Night with Jimmy Fallon'' as a member of the "Ragtime Gals", a barbershop quartet that also includes Jimmy Fallon, which performs pop songs in a barbershop style; examples include singing "SexyBack" along with Justin Timberlake and " Roxanne" along with Sting. Shillue is also a cast member on Fox News' popular late-night show, '' Gutfeld!'', notable for his parodies of Joe Biden and Adam Schiff. Shillue has appeared with Conan O'Brien doing stand up. He appeared in the film ''Mystery Team'' by Derrick Comedy in 2009. His television acting work includes guest spots on programs like ''Spin City'', ''Broad City'' and ''Law & Order''.

A correspondent on ''The Daily Show'', since 2014, Shillue has subbed in for Greg Gutfeld, co-hosting '' The Five''. Shillue served as the permanent host of ''Red Eye'' from June 22, 2015, when Gutfeld left to host his new show '' Gutfeld!'', until ''Red Eye'' was cancelled in April 2017. Shillue remains a contributor on the Fox News Channel. Soon after Red Eye was cancelled, Shillue joined '' Gutfeld!'' as a permanent cast member, though he had been making appearances on the show as early as 2015.

Stand-up and theatre

Shillue performs frequently as an opening act for Jim Gaffigan. He also performed a two-man show along with Gaffigan in the late 1990s called ''The North American White Male.''

Shillue has performed solo shows including ''Supernormal'' at PS122 and ''Dad 2.0'' at Ars Nova Theatre.

Other work

''Shillue'' announced his ''12 in 12'' project, whereby he would release an album of new material each month from November 2012 to October 2013. Some viewers of Red Eye believed the promotion of these new albums was simply a running gag on the show, a misconception which Shillue and Gutfeld dispelled on air, leading to a spike in sales.

On April 25, 2017, Shillue, along with TV's Andy Levy began hosting Fox News Radio from 6 pm to 9 pm Eastern. On July 10, 2017, Shillue started as the host of the "Tom Shillue Show" from 3 pm to 6 pm eastern time on Fox News Radio.
