[20] He is a three-time consecutive winner of Radio & Records National Talk Show Host of The Year Award from 2003-2005.

Hannity's frequent political targets include terrorism, illegal immigration,[25] weapon of mass destruction in Iraq,[26] and the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008.

The show also features the occasional inclusion of behind the scenes staff, including producers Elisha, Lynda,[29] "Sweet Baby" James,[30] and animal-rights proponent "Flipper".

The show used to close daily with the segment "Trash the Lines" where calls were taken unscreened, with callers given approximately five seconds to say whatever they wanted.

He usually supplements these clips with the explanation that he is performing a service to the American people by "Absorbing the hate and bitterness of the angry left so that they will be nicer to you when you meet them along your way."

This has appeared with less frequency in the radio show, though on the revamped Hannity on the Fox News Channel, this has become a regular segment[33] (usually airing on Thursday).

[34] Guest hosts have included Barry Farber, Mike Gallagher, Curtis Sliwa, Kirby Wilbur, Dennis Miller, and Mark Simone.

The frequent guests on his radio show included John McCain,[35] Rudy Giuliani,[36] Mike Huckabee,[citation needed] Newt Gingrich,[37] Mitt Romney,[38] Bobby Jindal,[39] Fred Thompson[40] and other politicians from both sides of the political aisle.
