Fox News Touts Hiring of ‘Youngest Black Co-Host in Cable News’ As Network Signs Lawrence Jones

📺Fox News is claiming it has achieved a major diversity achievement in its latest addition to the hosts of “📺Fox & Friends.”

Fox News announced on Thursday that Lawrence Jones will join the show as one of its co-hosts beginning Monday. The show, which currently includes co-hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade, airs from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. on weekdays.

In announcing the change, Fox proclaimed, “At 30 years old, Jones is the youngest black co-host in cable news.”

Fox also trumpeted that when “Lawrence Jones Cross Country” began last year, Jones, who was 29 at the time, “became the youngest black solo host on cable news.”

Jones said he was looking forward to the new gig.

“I feel like when it comes to the couch, you really feel America. We have this incredible opportunity to represent our audience every single day on the couch, and I’m so grateful, humbled. I’m going to learn a lot from you all, and it’s going to be a fun ride,” he said.
