NEW YORK (AP) — Former presidential candidate Herman Cain will be getting some regular TV work at Fox News Channel.

The network announced Friday that Cain, a failed Republican presidential contender in 2012, will be a network contributor. Cain, the former president and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza from Georgia, will also contribute to the Fox Business Network.

Cain said he’s looking forward to the job because it is “an opportunity to be one more voice for intelligent thinking in America.”

Fox has been shuffling its contributor lineup since the election. It has hired Dennis Kucinich, Scott Brown and now Cain, while cutting ties with Sarah Palin and Dick Morris.
