Abby Huntsman (born Abigail Haight Huntsman; May 1, 1986) is a general assignment reporter for Fox News Channel. She currently co-hosts Fox & Friends Weekend. She was previously a political commentator and co-host on The Cycle which aired on MSNBC. She is the daughter of Former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman Jr. and Mary Kaye Huntsman.
At age 16, Huntsman worked a behind-the-scenes position at Good Morning America. By her own admission, she disliked it so much that she contemplated giving up on television "forever." While attending the University of Pennsylvania, Huntsman interned for Diane Sawyer. Huntsman, having observed Sawyer's representation of herself and manner of presenting news, became so impressed with her that she would later say, "I always think of her as someone that I hope I can try to be like."
In 2012, during and after her father's presidential campaign, Huntsman appeared as a political commentator for ABC News in Washington, D.C., and Good Morning America in New York City. In October 2012, Huntsman was profiled in ABC News's 'Five Questions', a part of This Week with George Stephanopoulos. In August 2012, she was interviewed by Brian Williams on Rock Center about Mitt Romney's run for president and her own relationship with the Mormon faith. Previously, she held a position at the international public relations firm Burson-Marsteller.
In 2013, she was listed as number 26 on the Forbes 30 under 30 list of up and coming members of the media.
In July 2013, Huntsman joined The Cycle, filling a vacancy created by the departure of S.E. Cupp. Huntsman was the second replacement host to join the show, after Ari Melber. She sought to bring conservative views to the program, also denying that her relation to the Huntsman family had anything to do with her acquiring the position since she, in her own words, "went through the same audition process as everybody else", against a field she recalled featuring hundreds of candidates. In July 2015, The Cycle was cancelled.
