Fox News has hired Courtney Friel as a correspondent and substitute anchor. She will host Fox & Friends Weekend tomorrow and Sunday, Bill Shine announced today.
"Friel will join co-hosts Kelly Wright and Greg Kelly in anchoring the morning program this Saturday and Sunday from 7-10AM/ET. In addition, Friel will be a correspondent for Foxnews.com."
Here's her bio. She was recently a correspondent for KPSB, the CBS affiliate in Palm Springs. She has freelanced for America's Most Wanted, E!, Nickelodeon, Court TV, and the Travel Channel, and hosted "movie preview shows for Loews Theaters and Comcast Cable." Watch her highlight reel and don't miss all her swimsuit photos...
They fired him a few months ago..so you knew she would be leaving...

I thought I just saw him last week on Fox. It caught my attention because I haven't seen him in quite awhile. Maybe it was another channel and I just assumed it was Fox. Either way, I'll miss Kiran. I like her and didn't think she was at all liberal.
They did not fire Chris Knowles a few months ago.
FYI..MediaBistro reports that Chetry demanded that FOX fire GRetchen Carlson and give her the Fox & Friends weekday job.
That's what I recall reading, unless I'm in error..

That would have been better. I don't care for Gretchen at all!!!
She's on H&C now.
Wow!!
Thanks for the ping!
Watched F&F this morning. Nice eye candy but a bubblehead.
I think she's a Republican, too. If only all Iranians could be like her.
He still works there, active bio:

But did you see the DATE on the link.."sept 2006?"
If he was gone, the bio would be gone. Look up Kiran's page.

Thank you for letting me know, I hadn't heard that. I hate to hear she "demanded" anything but I agree with her. I wish she was in Gretchen's place. Gretchen seems like a nice lady but I've always liked Kiran. She's too good for CNN. (I'm blaming this on her agent being a jerk, not Kiran)
It's being said that Kiran's agent made this demand without her knowledge...obvious attempt to save face for her.and she was axed the next day..
I see - a prima donna?
I just noticed your tag line. On face value I really like Rudy and have always liked Newt. I think we need someone that has the strength these two have to cut through junk and get things done. I don't agree with Rudy's social beliefs so I'm in a quandry. At present, I think it's necessary to vote for the strongest on the issue of terrorism and the rest will have to be put on the back burner. Maybe I'll be saved from a decision and a really strong conservative will come along that I can happily cast my vote for (I personally think Tony Snow would fit that bill).
Kiran, you're dead to me.
Courtney, I welcome you with open arms. No, really, come over whenever you'd like.
