Lawrence Jones has officially joined “FOX & Friends,” FOX News Media announced Thursday.

“FOX & Friends” has released a compilation of Jones’ best moments on the show, where he is an enterprise member, visiting and interviewing Americans at diners and other venues across the country. He will now join co-hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade from 6-9 a.m. weekday mornings starting Sept. 18.

“My side feels like when it comes to the couch, you really feel America. We have this great opportunity to represent our freedom every day on the couch, and I’m so grateful, Humble. I’m going to learn a lot from all of you, and it’s going to be a fun ride,” Jones said Thursday on the show.

“I am honored to be a part of the legacy of talent that FOX News has created with ‘FOX & Friends,’ the show where I first appeared on national television. It is truly an honor to announce to our audience every day and I look forward to doing it every morning,” Jones said in a statement.

“FOX & Friends” has been the highest-rated morning news program in more than two decades, ending the most recent year with an average viewership of 1.4 million, according to Nielsen Media Research.

“FOX & Friends” is on pace to be the most-watched show in its time slot for 23 straight years and has surpassed CNN and MSNBC’s morning shows in viewership.

Jones, 30, became the youngest black anchor on cable news when “Lawrence Jones Cross Country” debuted in 2022.

As host of “Lawrence Jones Cross Country,” which aired from January 2022 until last week, Jones traveled across the country to bring viewers the latest on important issues. “One Nation with Brian Kilmeade” will now air at 9 p.m. ET on Saturday nights instead.

Throughout his career, Jones has kept in mind the important advice Sean Hannity gave him. “When I first got into this business, Hannity told me, ‘Just be LJ,’” he told Fox News Digital the following year.
