Fox News picked Lawrence Jones to be the temporary replacement for the time slot that used to feature the highly rated Tucker Carlson, who was unceremoniously ousted a week ago.
Jones, 30, is considered to be the "youngest black solo host of a cable news show in history," according to the Daily Mail. Newsmax had Joe Pinion, now 39, as a host before he left the network to run for Senate to vie for the seat held by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
Jones, a self-described libertarian, is expected to host starting Monday night after Fox News has struggled to keep viewers in Carlson's time slot. Its audience plummeted from an average of 3.2 million viewers with Carlson to 2.6 million tuning in Monday, 1.7 million Tuesday, and just 1.3 million Wednesday.

Too many unkind things are going through my mind about this whole thing. I don’t know this guy, so I am not going to pigeonhole him.
Wow, gosh, unreal, THE Lawrence Jones?
P.S. Who is he?
Not a FoxNews nor any cable news viewer. Saw some Tucker things on Rumble or YouTube I liked a lot. Hopefully this new guy gives me the same viewings.
Even though I love LJ, I ain’t going back. I hope Jones will stay true to his libertarian roots but I think the entire fox crew knows to carry the tune for whoever is paying.
There is a certain segment of Conservatives that love to hear republican talking points coming from a black guy, I doubt its enough to make up for the firing of Tucker.
To put it bluntly, the guy will never last. He’s middle right, comes across tentative and rehearsed and I question if he is a true conservative.
Affirmative action hire.
For 1 week right?
Do as your told son, and everyone gets a check
Nope.
Good man. Hope he makes a fortune.
He won’t rock the boat. He’ll follow orders from the Murdocks. Certainly not worth the watch.
Come on! It’s L.J., he was third baseman for the Columbus Clippers, went on to start a national chain of specialty shoelace stores, and was most recently awarded first chair playing oboe in the Altoona symphony orchestra. Yes, THAT L.J.
You’re welcome.
Ain’t ever watching. Eff FNC.
On-the-scene, street reporter.
Nothing special.
He won’t last long in that spot.
He worked on the Obama campaign. Enough said.
Sux to be them, just like Bud Light.
He’s a Libertarian — you know: fiscally Conservative, socially Liberal. So, that means he’ll push the full Progressive agenda and narrative without ever supporting anything Conservative at all.
no thanks
TEMPORARY replacement. Lawrence already has his own show on the weekend. He’s one of the rotating hosts.
