Fox & Friends is a morning television show on the Fox News Channel.

The program starts at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time with the latest Fox News Live headlines and analyzes the news of the morning. It continues with many different segments including interviews, updates of news stories with correspondents at any number of bureaus, analysis from the hosts, and many different regular morning show segments. Fox & Friends evolved from Fox X-press, FNC's original morning-news program.

The show also has a list of regular contributors, including Bill McCuddy with "Must Be McCuddy," a regular segment of entertainment news on the weekend editions, Dr. Manny Alvarez with "Ask Dr. Manny" and "Dr. Manny's Healthbeat," two regular health segments, Mancow Muller with a short chat session towards the end of the weekday edition of the program, and any number of other contributors.

After the September 11, 2001, attacks, an additional hour was added to the beginning of the weekday show, but branded as a separate program called Fox & Friends First. It is the first FNC program to air live for the day, starting at 6:00 a.m. Usually consisting of the same information as the regular program, First Edition (as it is sometimes also called) is hosted by two regular Fox & Friends hosts with an additional rotating co-host.

On December 4, 2006, Gretchen Carlson expressed her pleasure in knowing that American troops were being creative in their use of "Silly String" to detect trip wires on enemy bombs. A demonstration was publicly shown, for all interested parties, on exactly how this is done. This is reminiscent of Geraldo Rivera's "map in the sand" broadcast for Fox News in 2003.
