Fox & Friends First is a morning television news program on Fox News Channel. The hour-long program leads in to the network's main three-hour morning block Fox & Friends, with some of its hosts appearing regularly as anchors and contributors on the weekday or weekend editions of Fox & Friends. The current incarnation of the show debuted on March 5, 2012.
Fox & Friends First is hosted by Heather Childers Other occasional guest hosts include Julie Banderas, Clayton Morris, Arthel Neville, and Jamie Colby.
The show is broadcast from Studio J, the same studio used for America's Newsroom, The Real Story, The Kelly File, and Hannity. Various weekend programs also use the studio.
The show is early-morning opinion talk show along with the latest headlines and news of the morning. Due to the nature and time of the show, guests regularly appear, so it focuses more on updates of news stories with correspondents, analysis from the hosts, and politics.
When Fox and Friends First launched in March 2012 the show's executive producer, Lauren Petterson, described the show to Fox News Insider this way: "Think of Fox and Friends First like Fox and Friends on steroids. It will include all of the things you love about Fox and Friends – at warp speed. A cheat sheet, if you will, to all the day's big stories…"
In 2001, Fox & Friends, which aired from 7 to 9 a.m. ET, was expanded by an hour to start at 6 a.m. The new hour was branded Fox & Friends First and was co-anchored by Alisyn Camerota. In July 2008, the 6 a.m. hour was replaced by a third hour of Fox & Friends, and Camerota was named permanent anchor of the weekend edition of Fox & Friends.
