Longtime Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy announced on May 1 that he is departing from the New York studio after decades on the show’s iconic “curvy couch.” While he is stepping away from his daily in-studio role, Doocy will remain part of the team in a different capacity.
He will now report remotely from Florida and travel across the country as the show’s “coast-to-coast host.” This transition provides him with greater flexibility and the opportunity to spend more time with his expanding family.
“I’m not stepping down,” Doocy informed viewers. “I’m still part of the crew — just transitioning to a new chapter.” With three children and three grandchildren, and a fourth on the way, Doocy anticipates a more leisurely lifestyle.
After years of early morning awakenings, he is looking forward to a change of pace, including enjoying breakfast with his grandchildren. The new arrangement signifies both a personal and professional transformation.
Doocy has been a pivotal figure on Fox & Friends since its inception, contributing to its status as one of Fox News’ most beloved programs. His recognizable presence will continue to be integral to the show’s dynamic.
His revised role introduces a fresh perspective, providing viewers with coverage from across the United States, as he engages with people and stories beyond the studio.
Despite the change in location, Doocy’s voice and personality will continue to be a vital part of Fox & Friends, ensuring continuity for long-time fans of the program.
Colleagues and viewers have shown their support for his new chapter, welcoming the balance it brings to his life while keeping him within the Fox News family.
