The Daily Mail reports:
Rising Fox News star Lawrence Jones has been tapped as the next rotating replacement for fired anchor Tucker Carlson’s 8pm weekday spot.
Jones, 30, will take over as the next temporary host of the rebranded ‘Fox News Tonight’ starting on Monday, following Brian Kilmeade’s weeklong stint as Carlson’s replacement, a network spokesperson told DailyMail.com on Saturday.
Since January 2022, Jones has hosted a weekend primetime show on the network, ‘Lawrence Jones Cross Country’, making him the youngest black solo host of a cable news show in history.

Jones first appeared on JMG in 2019 when he blamed Jeffrey Epstein’s 2008 plea deal on Barack Obama, who had not yet been elected.
In 2021, we heard from him when he tried to pass off a “random” diner patron as a student angry about “woke teachers.” In fact, that student was the son of a far-right activist who had appeared on Fox News in the past.
