A new documentary on FOX Nation offers viewers an exclusive glimpse into the inner workings of "FOX & Friends," America's leading cable morning show. "Behind the Scenes: FOX & Friends" chronicles the program's nearly 30-year journey, showcasing its evolution, enduring camaraderie, and even the hosts' changing hairstyles.
The 40-minute special provides an intimate portrait of the hosts, producers, and crew, highlighting the energy and dedication that fuels the show. Longtime co-host Steve Doocy humorously points out the importance of caffeine in their early morning routine, quipping, "'FOX & Friends’ runs on Dunkin.’"
The documentary underscores the show's remarkable success, maintaining its dominance in morning cable news ratings for 23 years. With a daily viewership of 1.2 million, "FOX & Friends" continues to captivate audiences.
Using archival footage and previously unseen material, the documentary traces the show's history back to its origins as "Fox Express," a 15-minute newsreel format. Original host Brian Kilmeade reflects on the show's evolution, noting the absence of strict rules in the early days.
Doocy recalls a time when the show had no script, with producers asking the hosts what they wanted to discuss each morning. This improvisational approach shaped the show's early identity.
From the studio to the green room, the documentary offers a comprehensive look at the show's production. It even highlights FOX News meteorologist Janice Dean’s extensive coat collection accumulated over 20 years. Doocy enthusiastically praises the documentary, calling it "so good!"
"Behind the Scenes: FOX & Friends" is currently streaming on FOX Nation.
