Who is Fox News host Lawrence Jones?
Lawrence Billy Jones III, 30, was born on December 10, 1992, in Garland, Texas.
He graduated from the University of North Texas, where he studied political science and criminal justice.
Jones is an American political commentator and contributor for Fox News, a talk show radio host, and an author.
He started off at Fox News as a college graduate and has worked his way to titles such as substitute host and contributor for TV shows such as Fox & Friends and Fox News Primetime.
His mentors include Fox News hosts Dana Perino and Sean Hannity.
Since January 2022, Jones has hosted his own Fox News program called Lawrence Jones Cross Country.
On September 14, 2023, the network announced Jones as a regular host of Fox & Friends.
“I am honored to become a part of the cable news legacy FOX News has created with FOX & Friends, the very show where I made my first ever national television appearance,” he said in a statement.
“It is truly a privilege to inform our audience every day and I can’t wait to do so each morning.”
When did Lawrence Jones Cross Country premiere and how can I watch?
Lawrence Jones Cross Country premiered on January 29, 2022, on Fox News.
The television show airs on Saturdays at 10pm EST.

Prior to its start, Fox News said that the show “will feature him speaking with ordinary people that don’t usually have a platform.”
Jones said: “I really want to serve them, but also, that is like my compass. If the people back home can’t understand the content I’m putting out, then I’m really not serving the audience.”
When did Jones fill in for Tucker Carlson?
Following Tucker Carlson’s last network appearance on April 21, 2023, it was revealed Jones was temporarily taking over the former’s weekday timeslot.
On Monday, May 1 of the same year, Jones took over hosting duties for the 8pm slot that was previously reserved for Carlson.
Seven years after Tucker Carlson Tonight debuted, he and Fox decided to part ways.
“We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” the network said in an announcement.
An insider told Page Six: “Fox News is trying out a rotating list of anchors in Tucker’s spot.
“This week, it has been Fox & Friends’ Brian Kilmeade — but it is significant that they have chosen Jones to step up so soon after Tucker’s departure.”
