After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, an additional hour was added to the beginning of the weekday show, but branded as a separate show called Fox & Friends First. It was the first Fox News show to air live for the day, starting at 6 : 00 a.m. It was discontinued on July 13, 2008 and replaced with an additional hour of Fox & Friends The Fox & Friends First title was reintroduced on March 5, 2012, also as a separate show airing one hour before the main three - hour program, but using a separate slate of rotating anchors. Characteristics of the show Since inception, the show is a talk show format, featuring two male cohosts and a female cohost. Currently, Steve Doocey, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade cohost the show. At the top and bottom of the hour, the show highlights current ' Breaking News ' after which a meteorologist in ' The Weather Center ' reviews the national weather forecasts. If there are extraordinary conditions to be discussed, they refer to it as ' The Extreme Weather Center '. The show features a casual format with the hosts and guests typically sitting on the set 's ' curvy couch. ' After the show has ended for the day, a short online - only web show named After The Show Show which features behind - the - scenes footage not shown on air, is streamed on the Fox News website. It lasts from less than 3 minutes to 10 minutes. Recurring segments The ' Summer Concert Series ' features a live music concert in the Fox News Channel Plaza each Friday from Memorial Day weekend though Labor Day weekend. ' Normal or Nuts ' is a segment in which psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow answers viewer questions posed via Facebook or Twitter. On ' Rebuilding Dreams ', real estate attorney Bob Massey offers non-legal advice on buying, selling, listing and pitfalls related to real estate transactions. ' So Sue Me ' is a segment in which Peter Johnson, Jr. ( an appellate and trial lawyer ) offers his perspective on current events with legal implications. Ratings The New York Times has reported the show is one of the most successful on the network. After the arrival of Elizabeth Hasselbeck in September 2013, the show climbed 23 percent in total viewers compared to its average for the third quarter of 2013, and 22 percent in the key 25 - 54 news demo. For Hasselbeck 's first four weeks on the show, `` Fox & Friends '' averaged 1.226 million total viewers, up from the 1.058 that the show averaged for the third quarter of the year. In comparison, morning shows from both CNN and MSNBC combined to average 792,000 viewers. Political stance The New York Times wrote that Fox & Friends `` has become a powerful platform for some of the most strident attacks on President Obama. '' The program has provided a platform for conspiracy theories about Obama 's religion and, in May 2012, aired a 4 - minute video attacking Obama 's record as President. The video was widely criticized as a political attack ad masquerading as journalism, TIME television critic James Poniewozik wrote : `` It 's hard to imagine a more over-the - top parody of Fox raw - meat - hurling, fear - stoking, base - pleasing agitprop. '' In response, a Fox News exec vice-president ' disavowed ' the video, blaming an associate producer and that the video ' slipped by ' senior managers at the network. Fox stated that the show was entertainment and `` does not pretend to be straight news.
