It's been a busy time for Failla, who will continue to host his nationally syndicated radio show “FOX Across America” and has an upcoming Fox News Books title, “Cancel Culture Dictionary: An A to Z Guide to Winning the War On Fun,” will be released on January 30.
“The reason we titled the book 'Dictionary of Cancel Culture' is because we wanted to chronologically – that's a very important word to me – all the important things that have been canceled since this became a thing and the arrival of social media, and explain how, despite all the hype and hysteria, nothing in the world has changed for the better,” Failla previously told Fox News Digital.
“You know, a good example would be the summer of 2020. We set the country on fire, looted a lot of stores, and canceled Aunt Jemima in the name of some kind of racial progress,” he continued. “But what do we finally have to show for it? The streets are not safe, the schools are not better.”

Failla feels like people don't know the difference between a prank and a hate crime these days, but he hopes Fox News Books' latest offering can help right the ship.
“This book is a release to not care anymore. That's what I'm doing. I'm giving the reader a release for society to basically press rewind and go back to this place where we don't spend our lives searching.” something to get angry about,” Failla said. “If you die tomorrow, you'll wish you had more fun.”
