BREAKING: Lawrence Jones Rockets to Fox News Morning Royalty — What This Shocking Move Means for America’s Favorite Morning Show!

In a powerful and emotional moment, FOX & Friends celebrated Lawrence Jones’ incredible rise by airing a montage of his most iconic moments as an enterprise reporter — a role where he crisscrossed America, bringing the voices of everyday citizens straight to the nation’s living rooms.

Now, Lawrence Jones isn’t just telling America’s story — he’s about to shape it.

Starting September 18, he will officially join FOX & Friends co-hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade at the anchor desk every weekday morning from 6-9 AM.

“I believe that the couch truly captures the heart of America,” Jones said during Thursday’s broadcast.

“We have this incredible opportunity to represent our viewers every single day, and I’m beyond grateful and humbled.

I know I have so much to learn from all of you, and I’m ready for this exciting journey.”

And what a journey it’s already been.

At just 30 years old, Lawrence Jones has shattered barriers, becoming the youngest Black co-host of any major cable news morning program.

It’s a move that signals not just a personal triumph for Jones, but a strategic and powerful shift for FOX & Friends — America’s top-rated morning news program for over two decades.

Gavin Hadden, Senior Vice President of Morning Programming at Fox News Channel, praised Jones in a statement: “Lawrence has always possessed a keen understanding of the issues that matter most to communities across America.

His insights have been invaluable to the FOX & Friends audience, and we are thrilled to officially welcome him to the team.”

Jones is no stranger to FOX & Friends.

In fact, the program was the first national television show he ever appeared on.

“It’s deeply meaningful,” Jones reflected.

“To now sit on that iconic couch every morning, informing and engaging with America, is nothing short of a dream come true.”

The announcement came with the full support of FOX & Friends’ powerful lineup, with co-hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, Brian Kilmeade, as well as weekend stars Will Cain, Rachel Campos-Duffy, and Pete Hegseth, senior meteorologist Janice Dean, and FOX & Friends First hosts Todd Piro and Carley Shimkus all present to celebrate the occasion.

Since joining Fox News Channel in 2018, Jones has carved a unique and influential path.

His highly successful series Lawrence Jones Cross Country proved his ability to connect with everyday Americans and tackle the nation’s most pressing issues head-on.

Although Cross Country has wrapped its run, Jones’ impact will only grow, with One Nation with Brian Kilmeade moving into the Saturday night 9 PM slot.

Through it all, Jones has stayed grounded by following one piece of advice — given to him by none other than Sean Hannity: “Just be LJ.”

It’s that authenticity, combined with his unrelenting work ethic and deep connection to American values, that has propelled Jones into the national spotlight.

His rise isn’t just a personal milestone — it’s a fresh new chapter for FOX & Friends as they continue their unparalleled dominance in cable news, consistently outperforming both CNN and MSNBC year after year.

With Fox News Channel closing out August as the top-rated cable network for the 30th consecutive month, this announcement couldn’t have come at a better time.

Lawrence Jones’ new role ensures that FOX & Friends remains not just the gold standard of morning news, but a dynamic, evolving force ready to lead America through the crucial years ahead.

Brace yourselves, America.

Lawrence Jones is just getting started — and he’s about to take FOX & Friends — and the nation — to even greater heights.
