We're kicking off our end-of-year go round on a positive note this year folks, with out 26 People To Watch in the new year. Well, mostly positive as most of these people are watchable for the right reasons. But, we must warn you -- though there are some you need to watch out for.
Anyway, from walks of life (and in no particular order) here's the list:
Vivek Ramaswamy: Vivek rhymes with cake. And we're betting this smart, savvy and charismatic guy will take the cake as the next Governor of Ohio.
Sydney Sweeney: Oh, yeah -- she's lots of fun to watch and she's single handedly (or legedly?) made jeans sexy again. Hooray!
Ethan Hawke: Not only has he aged very well but he dominates the chatty Broadway tale Blue Moon and is a likely Oscar nominee in a year when everything seems to be going his way.
Princess Anne - Beloved by Brits of every class and persuasion, the hardest working member of the British royal family is finally getting the plaudits she so well deserves. Bravo!
Scott Jennings: He turns liberals into lily livered lilliputians on CNN and inspires us all to be feisty, fearless patriots. Avanti!
AOC: For better or worse, when you've come to be known only by your initials, you're formidable. With her big mouth and big bankroll, a US Senate run seems certain. Brace yourselves!
Pope Leo XIV: So far this seems like little more than Francis parte seconda but with an American spin and a smile. Ahead, Leo's first full year will be critical and may be snagged in a synodial spiral. Hold on tight!
Sean Duffy: This fast-moving Secretary of Transportation seems to be a born headline grabber, turning up amidst crises and looking snappy and amiable. A Garden State resident, he may run for statewide office here, or even for the presidency. Added asset: Rachel Campos Duffy.
Mikie Sherrill: And speaking of New Jersey, what the hell happened? After her overwhelming victory all we can say is do not underestimate this woman -- and hang onto your wallets.
Dick Van Dyke: An American icon, he just became a centenarian and is out with a new book 100 Rules For Living To 100. If you've never seen Mary Poppins, watch it now!
Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino: The single best reason to turn on the TV in the morning, they make a great pair but are also each standouts in their own right. We love 'em!
Erika Kirk: She's already given us a brazen, world-class Profile in Courage and we're betting this is only the beginning. God bless this valiant woman!
Martin Scorsese: He held nothing back on Apple TV's Mr. Scorsese and now his giving us the epic Saints series on Fox Nation.-- a dynamo at 83. Keep watching!
Zohran Mamdani - It's put up or shut up time for the verbose, voracious, newly crowned Pied Piper of Gothan. Yo, Zoren: it's the second toughest job in America. Good luck with that!
Pete Alonso: As a free agent the Mets' Polar Bear is moving to Baltimore and the Os. That's Baltimore's gain and now the Bear may become The GOAT.
J. D. Vance and Marco Rubio: C'mon! Ya know they're the 2028 Dream Ticket. But politics is not a dreamworld and 2026 is the year each will have to start setting his sights on the next conquest. Stay tuned!
Leonardo DiCaprio: A genuine star in a Hollywood bereft of them, Leo is lighting up the Big Screen again in the action thriller One Battle After Another. Oscar buzz!
RFK Jr. and Cheryl Hines: Washington's most fascinating couple right now. He, the heir to a revered legacy. She, an accomplished actress and comedienne who refuses to be the woman scorned. Better than a movie!
Stephen A. Smith: Your never quite sure what this guy's gonna say or where and how he's gonna say it. He's not pegable, and we like that. Now he says he may run for president. Whoa!
William and Kate: They remain the "it" couple, and ever more so since her battle with cancer. When you talk about watchable, these two are always near the top of the list.
Tony Dokoupil: Tony's about to jump from CBS This Morning to the coveted CBS News anchor seat once inhabited by Walter Cronkite. Tony's the Real Deal. Watch out, David Muir!
Nicki Minaj: Nicki's evolving -- or so it seems. She's been feuding intensely with Gavin Newsom and that's a good thing! The Washington Post has called this "the MAGAfication of Nicki". Ain't this sweet?!
Nalin Haley: The 24-year-old son of Nikki Haley (and Villanova grad) is a rapidly rising Gen Z star who steers to the right of his mom and champions God and country. And, he's already developed quite a social media folowing!
Timothée Chalamet: Some thought he was a lightweight but don't be fooled by the oh-so-precious name and pretty boy persona. This kid's got real acting chops. He killed it in A Complete Unknown and is about to shine again in Marty Supreme.
John Fetterman: We've never counted ourselves among his fans but this guy has been espousing a common sense agenda that's got lots of hardscrabble street appeal. He's worth watching if only to discover how he may further rattle progressives.
Chris Pratt: A certified Hollywood luminary who isn't afraid to proclaim his devotion to Christianity? Put this guy right up there with Mark Wahlberg and grant him his superhero status!
Suzy Wiles: She's wisely kept a low profile so far and is said to be superlative at an impossible job, but now that big Vanity Fair story has just dropped and things may be about to get wild for Wiles. UhOh!
