Fox News Rocked by the announcement of legendary Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy LEAVING the “Curvy Couch” after more than 30 years – The Official Reason shared by the Network moves viewers to Tears!

After more than three decades in the bright New York studio, veteran host Steve Doocy has officially announced he will step away from hosting live on the famous Fox & Friends set and move to a new role: working remotely.
The announcement, shared on May 1, surprised and touched many longtime viewers.

Born in 1956 in Iowa, Steve joined Fox News in 1996 and helped launch Fox & Friends in 1998. For over 30 years, he woke up at 3:30 a.m. every day to reach the Manhattan studio in time to lead lively discussions with high-profile guests, from former President Donald Trmp to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Talking about the decision, Steve admitted, “It’s a great job, but the hours are tough.” He joked that every morning when his alarm clock rang at 3:30, his wife Kathy would say, “Time to make the donuts,” recalling an old Dunkin Donuts ad. AI even calculated that his early alarms have gone off over 6,800 times – an impressive number by any standard.

Steve emphasized that he’s not retiring and not leaving the show, just changing how he appears: he’ll still be a host, but working from home about three days a week. He shared that he had been discussing this plan for a while with Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott, to find a new path that fits both his career and family life.

One major reason for this decision is family time. “When my kids were growing up, I never had breakfast with them. But starting tomorrow, I’ll be able to have breakfast with my children and grandchildren whenever I can,” he said. Steve and his wife have three children: Peter (a Fox News reporter), Mary, and Sally.

Steve plans to move to Florida, where he can travel easily to cover stories across the U.S. – from the Carolinas and Florida Keys to the Mar-a-Lago area. He playfully called himself the “coast-to-coast host.” His colleagues Brian Kilmeade, Ainsley Earhardt, and Lawrence Jones will keep hosting live from New York.

Beyond TV, Steve is also known for his two best-selling books about family and fatherhood. Even with this role change, he reassured viewers: “You’ll still hear my voice and opinion loud and clear.”

At age 67, Steve Doocy begins a new chapter: staying close to TV while giving more time to the family moments he missed during decades of early mornings on live television.
