Jones, who recently joined Fox & Friends as a permanent co-host, shared that while the title is new, he doesn’t feel like much has shifted.

“I actually don’t feel anything different because I feel like I’ve been a part of the family for so long,” he told The U.S. Sun.

Jones began his Fox career officially in 2018 but first started appearing on Fox News when he was 20.

With his show, Lawrence Jones Cross Country, he became the youngest Black solo host of a cable news program – and that’s not something he took lightly.

“Being a Black man is a part of my story,” Jones said.

“Obviously I care about my community and want to make sure that I’m fighting for them on a day-to-day basis, and so it’s an incredible honor.”

‘PART OF MY STORY’

As part of his story and his career at Fox, Jones had a recent opportunity to explore more of his heritage.

Within that, he discovered more about his Native American side but also his African ancestry.
