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, alongside Andy Levy, began hosting “Fox News Radio” from 6 to 9 pm EST. On July 10, 2017, Shillue started as the host of the "Tom Shillue Show" from 3 to 6 pm EST on Fox News Radio.
