Lawrence Jones has received widespread praise from fans as he officially begins his new role as a co-host on Fox & Friends. The political commentator and journalist has been named the fourth permanent co-host of the popular Fox News Channel morning show. Jones will now join Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade to anchor the weekday program, which airs from 6 to 9 a.m.
Following the announcement, Jones expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of support on social media. He took to Instagram, writing, “I can’t thank y’all enough for all the love,” as he shared his excitement about his new role. Fans quickly flooded the comment section with congratulatory messages, celebrating the 30-year-old’s impressive career move.
Since 2022, Jones had hosted his own weekend program, Lawrence Jones Cross Country, on Fox News, where he gained significant recognition. However, with his transition to Fox & Friends, the network has announced that his weekend show will be replaced by One Nation with Brian Kilmeade. Despite this change, Jones will continue to serve as Fox News’ enterprise reporter, ensuring he remains a key figure on the network.
While many fans were excited for his new opportunity, there was also some sadness over the conclusion of Lawrence Jones Cross Country. One fan commented, “Well deserved, but I sure will miss all the good you did on Cross Country.” Another expressed similar feelings, writing, “One of the best… but I will definitely miss Cross Country!”
Despite the bittersweet goodbye, Jones is fully embracing this new chapter in his career. In a statement to Variety, he expressed his enthusiasm for joining Fox & Friends, saying, “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.”
Fox News’ Senior Vice President of Morning Programming, Gavin Hadden, also praised Jones’ contributions, highlighting his ability to connect with audiences. He stated, “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.”
The love from fans continued to pour in as Jones took on his new role, with one supporter writing, “You’re the future of Fox News! I hope you have a long, successful career.” Another fan shared a simpler sentiment, stating, “Love this guy.”
Although Jones officially stepped into his role as co-host on Monday, he has been a part of Fox News since 2018, steadily building his career and taking on various roles within the network. As he begins this exciting new chapter, Jones’ popularity and influence continue to grow, and many are eager to see what the future holds for him at Fox News.
