- Favorite songs: "The Way It Is" by Bruce Hornsby, "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by Charlie Daniels, "Independence Day" by Martina McBride, "Place in This World" by Michael W. Smith.
- Was fired from his first radio job, on a college station in Santa Barbara, CA, for an incident in which a guest on his show, an avowed white supremacist, made a string of inflammatory racial remarks, which the station said Hannity encouraged. He then went to a radio station in Huntsville, Alabama, where his ultra-conservative political views found favor, and eventually got a national show on WABC/770 in New York.
- A gun enthusiast, Hannity has been a pistol marksman since he was 12-years-old.
- Fan of Garth Brooks.
- Has two children: Patrick, 10, and Merri Kelly, 7 (2008).
- Liberals want to paint conservatives as angry white men on the radio. No, we're not. We're happy, normal, law-abiding, taxpaying, wonderful people. They love to play tennis with us on the weekend.
- [on President Trump's tweet on Mika Brzezinski's bleeding from a face-lift]I don't think the president should have tweeted it.
- On Alan Colmes "It used to drive me nuts," laughs Hannity. "But he had a wicked sense of humor. The good thing is, when the show was over, the show was over, and we weren't talking about politics. We agreed to disagree."
- [on Tucker Carlson's departure] It's very hard. My phone has been blowing up all day. The hard part for me is I don't have a clue. I have no idea. Was it Tucker's decision? Was it Fox's? Was it a mutual agreement that they had? I don't know
