He will join Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade on the 6-9am weekday show.
Jones shared his excitement following his new role through a post on Instagram.
He said: “I can’t thank y’all enough for all the love.”
Fans rushed to the comments to share their support and congratulations for the 30-year-old.
One fan said: “You’re the future of Fox News!
“I hope you have a long, successful career.
Another fan said: “Love this guy.”
Despite starting as a co-host on Monday, Jones has been working at Fox News since 2018 in various roles.
The political commentator has also hosted his own weekend Fox News program called Lawrence Jones Cross Country since 2022.
His namesake will be replaced by One Nation with Brian Kilmeade, but Jones will remain as the TV network’s enterprise reporter.
Some fans expressed their sadness following the news that Lawrence Jones Cross Country would be coming to an end in light of this change.
One fan said: “Well deserved but I sure will miss all the good you did on Cross Country.”
Another fan added: “One of the best…but I will definitely miss Cross Country!”
Jones revealed his excitement for his new role in a statement, according to Variety.
He said: “I am honored to become a part of the cable news legacy Fox News has created with ‘Fox & Friends,’ the very show where I made my first ever national television appearance.
“It is truly a privilege to inform our audience every day and I can’t wait to do so each morning.”
This enthusiasm was also shared by Fox News’ management as its senior vice president of morning programming, Gavin Hadden, revealed in a statement.
Hadden said: “Lawrence has his finger on the pulse of what matters to communities across America and his insight has proved invaluable to the ‘Fox & Friends’ audience.
“We look forward to welcoming him to our family as he wakes up America alongside our star co-hosts each morning.”
Jones also acted as a temporary replacement for Tucker Carlson, after he left the network, on his 8pm slot from May 1.
