Jennifer Anne "Jenna" Lee (born c. 1979/1980) is an American journalist and anchor on the Fox News Channel, where she co-hosts Happening Now with Jon Scott. Lee previously co-anchored Fox Business Network's early-morning business news program, Fox Business Morning, with Connell McShane.
Lee, a San Francisco native, was born c. 1979/1980 to Janice and Bob Lee, a former National Football League quarterback. Her brother, Zac Lee, was also a professional quarterback. Lee's grandfather, Paul Kern Lee, was a war correspondent for the Associated Press in San Francisco.
Lee attended college at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she played collegiate softball for the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos during the 1999 season. She graduated in 2002 with a B.A. in English and global studies. She later attended Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, graduating in 2005 with a master's degree.
After graduating from UC Santa Barbara, Lee worked from 2002 to 2004 at Marina Times, a San Francisco community newspaper, as a freelance reporter on her spare time. She would later enroll at Columbia University, where she worked at NY1 and freelance writing for Forbes.com. She left NY1 and joined Forbes full-time.
While at Forbes, Lee tried to orchestrate a permanent move in front of the camera. Using some on-camera work she compiled from her time at Forbes, she was hired by Fox Business Network.
