Doocy has been with Fox & Friends since 1998.
Florida bound: Fox & Friends’ longtime co-host Steve Doocy has announced that he will be moving from the show’s curvy couch in New York City to the Sunshine State. Doocy is taking on new duties as a Florida-based coast-to-coast co-host for the morning program. In this new role, Doocy will make reduced appearances on the broadcast, appearing three times a week from his new home base.
“After decades of getting up at 3:30 and driving into New York City in the dark, today is the last day I will host the show from the couch,” Doocy said on Thursday morning’s broadcast. “I am not retiring. I’m not leaving the show. I’m still a host, but it’s time for a change.”
Doocy has been with Fox and Friends since its 1998 debut. He joined Fox News when the network launched as its first “weather guy” in New York City.
