“It is truly a privilege to inform our audience every day and I can’t wait to do so each morning,” he added.
“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,” said Gavin Hadden, Fox News Channel’s senior vice president of morning programming, in a news release.
“We look forward to welcoming him to our family as he wakes up America alongside our star co-hosts each morning.”
Jones’ weekend program, “Lawrence Jones Cross Country,” will be sunset while “One Nation with Brian Kilmeade” will now air at 9 p.m. ET on Saturday evenings, the network said.
Jones joined Fox News in 2018 and was named the enterprise reporter for “Fox & Friends” in 2021, “spotlighting issues that resonate with everyday Americans and interviewing newsmakers across the political and cultural spectrum,” according to Fox News.
During his tenure with the network, he has reported on crime across the country and, in 2020, hosted a primetime weekend special examining race relations.
