Gowdy is a former congressman from South Carolina and the host of Fox News's Sunday Night in America With Trey Gowdy at 7 p.m. each weekend.
The Sunday night show regularly sees well over 1 million viewers, beating out MSNBC and CNN competitors that average less than half a million viewers.
MSNBC airs the earlier broadcast of Inside with Jen Psaki at that time while CNN Newsroom holds the slot at CNN.
Previous hosts who took over the slot since Carlson's exit included Brian Kilmeade, Lawrence Jones, Kayleigh McEnany, and Will Cain.
Fox News has not finalized a schedule despite a report indicating that it had.
The network has indicated that the schedule remains fluid.
After that report emerged of a supposed new schedule, a Fox News spokesperson said: “No decision has been made on a new prime-time lineup, and there are multiple scenarios under consideration.”

Last month, Fox News announced it would be parting ways with Carlson. "We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor," a spokesperson said at the time.
Following his exit, Carlson announced that he would be hosting a new show on Twitter, which notably features billionaire Elon Musk at its helm. "Starting soon, we'll be bringing a new version of the show we've been doing for the last 6 1/2 years to Twitter. We bring some other things too, which we'll tell you about," he said in a video on the platform.
