A fourth face is being added to the FOX & Friends cast. The network has announced that Lawrence Jones will be a new permanent co-host of the morning show.
“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 has been with Fox News since 2018. He joined FOX & Friends in 2021 as the show’s enterprise reporter.
He was introduced on Thursday. He will start on the job full-time on Monday, September 18. At 30-years-old, Jones will be the youngest Black host on a cable news show.
“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,” Gavin Hadden, Fox News’s SVP of morning programming, said in a statement. We look forward to welcoming him to our family as he wakes up America alongside our star co-hosts each morning.”
The promotion means that Jones’s weekend show Lawrence Jones Cross Country is coming to an end. The network will reportedly put One Nation with Brian Kilmeade in the Saturday night time slot that Cross Country used to occupy.
