Fox Nation will premiere two specials honoring Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk following his assassination last week.

The first special, "Charlie Kirk: The Last Interview," will debut on Friday and feature never-before-seen footage of Kirk in his final interview recorded the morning he was killed during a campus event at Utah Valley University.

"The Last Interview," filmed at the "Restaurantology" summit in Salt Lake City, Utah, will show Kirk speaking with Andrew K. Smith, managing partner of Savory Fund, where Kirk discusses entrepreneurship, the growth of Turning Point USA, his leadership philosophy and creating a lasting movement.

The special will give viewers a look at some of Kirk’s final reflections in the hours before he was killed, including his ambitions, advice to fellow entrepreneurs and what his vision was for the future.

"The Last Interview" will premiere exclusively on Fox Nation before airing on the Fox News Channel on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET with an encore presentation on Sunday at 11 p.m. ET.

Along with "The Last Interview," Fox Nation will also air "Charlie Kirk: In His Own Words," a 2018 interview with Kirk on the founding of Turning Point USA, what shaped his worldview, and his perspective of what it means to be a conservative in America.
