History
Fox & Friends is an early morning conservative opinion talk show that begins at 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time with the latest Fox News Live headlines and analyzes the news of the morning. It continues with a variety of segments including interviews, updates of news stories with correspondents at any number of bureaus, analysis from the hosts and entertainment segments. Fox & Friends evolved from Fox X-press, Fox News Channel's original morning news program.
The show also has a list of regular contributors, including Dr. Manny Alvarez with "Ask Dr. Manny" and "Dr. Manny's Healthbeat", two regular health segments, Mancow Muller with a short chat session towards the end of the weekday edition of the program, and any number of other contributors.
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 (such a change, however, is only cosmetic: both shows were produced by the same staff and cycled the same anchors, with the only difference being the graphics package). The Fox & Friends First title was later 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.
