Joanne Goodhart (née Nosuchinsky; born September 26, 1988)[2] [3] is an American actress, beauty pageant titleholder, and co-host of Mornin' along with television personality Bill Schulz. She starred in Fox News' late-night comedy show Gutfeld! alongside Kat Timpf from 2015 to 2016[4] and appeared as a permanent panelist on the late-night show Red Eye w/ Tom Shillue, along with other Fox News programming. Goodhart was the 2013 Miss New York USA.
Goodhart is from Freehold Township, New Jersey. She went to the Performing Arts Center at Howell High School.[3] In 2010 she graduated from Rider University (summa cum laude[5]) with a BA in Fine Arts and a focus on theatre.[6] She has Italian and Ukrainian ancestry.[7]
While looking through audition notices, Goodhart answered one looking for pageant contestants despite never having competed in pageants before. She represented Hell's Kitchen for her win in the 2013 Miss New York USA competition. She competed in the Miss USA 2013 competition but failed to place in the Top 15. At the time of the pageants, Goodhart performed in The Awesome 80s Prom, and continued to do so until the show closed.[8] [9]
On September 18, 2013, Goodhart first appeared as a guest panelist on Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld on the Fox News Channel. Following the departure of Bill Schulz in November 2013, her appearances led to her becoming a full-time panelist as of the February 4, 2014, episode. From 2015 to 2016 she was also a cast member on FNC's Gutfeld! on late Saturday evenings. On the Red Eye w/ Tom Shillue broadcast at 12:00am on August 5, 2016, Nosuchinsky stated that after two and half years at Fox News, she would be leaving the network. On the August 6, 2016, broadcast of Red Eye, her last, Goodhart stated that she was leaving Fox News to pursue an acting career.[10]
Goodhart, formerly Nosuchinsky, married comedian Douglas Goodhart on May 12, 2023. She is Roman Catholic.[11]
On March 19, 2020, Goodhart appeared in a video posted to Twitter[12] and Instagram[13] by Chrissie Mayr, singing a parody version of the popular 1970s hit "Kung Fu Fighting", changing the lyrics to "Kung Flu Fighting". The song was interpreted by some to be mocking those of Chinese descent in the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic, and the video drew immediate backlash and criticism.[14] [15] [16] [17]
