October 9th, 2013 4:56 PM

Although he's been appearing on Fox News sporadically since he broke unto the scene at February's National Prayer Breakfast, the network made it official Wednesday.

According to TVNewser, Dr. Ben Carson has been hired by Fox as a regular contributor:

“Dr. Carson is a brilliant neurosurgeon who has dedicated his life to healing others,” Fox News CEO Roger Ailes says in a statement. “He also has a broad perspective on what’s going on in the country and his wisdom and provocative viewpoints will make a major contribution to our network.”

Carson will make his official debut on Wednesday's Kelly File.

Good luck, Doctor.
