Lawrence Jones joins 'Fox & Friends' fulltime
The new 'Fox & Friends' co-host joined the program to discuss his major announcement.
Lawrence Jones has joined "FOX & Friends" on a permanent basis, FOX News Media announced on Thursday.
"FOX & Friends" played a montage of Jones’ greatest moments on the show, where he has been the enterprise reporter, visiting Americans at diners and other locations around the country. Now he will join co-hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade from 6-9 a.m. on weekday mornings beginning Sept. 18.
"I feel like when it comes to the couch, you really feel America. We have this incredible opportunity to represent our audience every single day on the couch and I’m so grateful, humbled. I’m going to learn a lot from you all, and it’s going to be a fun ride," Jones said after the announcement was made on air.
Lawrence Jones has joined "FOX & Friends" on a permanent basis.
At 30 years old, Jones is the youngest Black co-host in cable news.
"Lawrence has his finger on the pulse of what matters to communities across America and his insight has proved invaluable to the ‘FOX & Friends’ audience. We look forward to welcoming him to our family as he wakes up America alongside our star co-hosts each morning," FOX News Channel senior vice president of morning programming Gavin Hadden said.
Doocy, Earhardt and Kilmeade as well as Will Cain, Rachel Campos-Duffy and Pete Hegseth who co-host "FOX & Friends Weekend," senior meteorologist Janice Dean and Todd Piro and Carley Shimkus who co-host ‘FOX & Friends First’ were all on hand for the announcement.
"I am honored to become a part of the cable news legacy FOX News has created with ‘FOX & Friends,’ the very show where I made my first ever national television appearance. It is truly a privilege to inform our audience every day and I can’t wait to do so each morning," Jones said in a statement.
Jones, who joined FOX News Channel in 2018, will also continue in his role as the "FOX & Friends" enterprise reporter, a position he began in 2021.
Last year, Jones became the youngest Black solo host on cable news when "Lawrence Jones Cross Country" was launched.
As host of "Lawrence Jones Cross Country," which ran from January 2022 through last week, Jones traveled from across American to bring viewers the latest on critical issues. "One Nation with Brian Kilmeade" will now air at 9 p.m. ET on Saturday evenings in place of "Lawrence Jones Cross Country."
