Lawrence Jones has officially joined FOX & Friends, FOX News Media announced on Thursday.
FOX & Friends aired a montage of Jones’ best moments on the show, where he has served as an enterprise reporter, traveling and interviewing Americans at diners and other locations across the country. Now, he will join co-hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade from 6-9 AM on weekday mornings starting September 18.
“I feel that when it comes to the couch, you really get a sense of America. We have this incredible opportunity to represent our audience every day on the couch, and I’m so grateful and humbled. I will learn a lot from all of you, and it’s going to be an exciting journey,” Jones said on Thursday’s show.
