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.
