There’s going to be a bit of a change on morning television. Gretchen Carlson will be leaving Fox & Friends this fall and Elisabeth Hasselbeck will be leaving The View.
Carlson will move on to her own show on Fox during the afternoon hours while Hasselbeck will take a seat next to Steve Dooocy and Brian Kilmeade on Fox & Friends .
The news broke last night but Carlson made it official this morning on the Fox show.
Carlson said : “I’m going to move forward in my career … moving on to the afternoons here at Fox and hosting my own show coming up in September.”
Doocy added: “Congratulations, Gretch … We know you work really hard and it shows each and every morning.”
Hasselbeck also said goodbye to her friends over at The View this morning. The ABC co-host will film her last episode of The View today before moving on to Fox And Friends this fall.
Hasselbeck said in a press release : “I have been a longtime fan of Fox & Friends and am excited to be joining their team in September. It is an honor to call the Fox News Channel my new television home.”
Here’s a video of Gretchen Carlson announcing her departure on Fox & Friends .
What do you think of the move? Do you think Gretchen Carlson is making the right move by leaving Fox & Friends ? Will Elisabeth Hasselbeck make a good replacement?
