Fox & Friends is an American daily morning news and talk program that airs on Fox News. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] It premiered on February 1, 1998, and is currently hosted by Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, Brian Kilmeade and Lawrence Jones on weekdays.

It begins at 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time Zone with the latest Fox News Live headlines and news of the morning and continues with a variety of segments including current events, interviews, updates of news stories with correspondents, political analysis from the hosts, and entertainment segments. [6] [7]
Fox & Friends evolved from Fox X-press, Fox News Channel's original morning news program.
After the September 11 attacks, an additional hour was added to the beginning of the weekday show, but branded as a separate show called Fox & Friends First . It was the first Fox News show to air live for the day, starting at 6:00 a.m. It was discontinued on July 13, 2008, and replaced with an additional hour of Fox & Friends. [8] The Fox & Friends First title was reintroduced on March 5, 2012, also as a separate show airing one hour before the main three-hour program, but using a separate slate of rotating anchors. [9]
Fox & Friends has been described as being more akin to the Big Three television networks than its cable competitors (particularly CNN This Morning and MSNBC's Morning Joe ), with a mix of news, entertainment and lifestyle-oriented segments, and a generally casual presentation. However, as with the morning shows on competing cable news channels, its news content largely concentrates on politics. Currently, Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, Brian Kilmeade and Lawrence Jones co-host the program Monday-Friday. Will Cain, Rachel Campos-Duffy and Pete Hegseth co-host on the weekends. [10] [11]
Some regular fill in hosts include Todd Piro, Katie Pavlich, Joey Jones, Kayleigh McEnany, Griff Jenkins, Lisa Boothe, Nicole Saphier Carley Shimkus and Guy Benson.
The New York Times has reported the show is one of the most successful on the network. [15] After the arrival of Elisabeth Hasselbeck in September 2013, the show climbed 23 percent in total viewers compared to its average for the third quarter of 2013, and 22 percent in the key 25–54 news demo. For Hasselbeck's first four weeks on the show, Fox & Friends averaged 1.226 million total viewers, up from the 1.058 that the show averaged for the third quarter of the year. [16] [17]
In February 2017, the program's average ratings increased to around 1.7 million viewers, fueled by the recent inauguration of Republican candidate Donald Trump as president. [18]
