Steve Doocy to Cut Back Long-Running Role on ‘Fox & Friends'
Steve Doocy is leaving the Curvy Couch on 'Fox & Friends' in favor of a new bend in his career.
Doocy will cut back on the time he spends on the long-running Fox News Channel morning show, serving as a co-anchor three days a week from various locations in the southeast and midwest, among other locales.

'After decades of getting up at 3:30 and driving into New York City in the dark, today is the last day I will host the show from the couch,' Doocy said on Thursday's broadcast of the program. 'I am not retiring. I'm not leaving the show. I'm still a host, but it's time for a change.'
For Fox News viewers, the move is a seismic one. Doocy has held forth on the Fox Corp.-owned cable outlet since its launch in 1996, first as a weather correspondent and then co-host of 'Friends' when it debuted in 1998. 'For nearly 30 years, Steve has been a force on the curvy couch with his signature smile and wit,' said Megan Albano, executive vice president of morning programming and program development at Fox News Media , in a statement. 'His relationship with our audience is unmatched and we are looking forward to him taking his trademark style from the couch to cities across America's heartland where he will co-host from diners to pickleball courts and more and finally not have to drive across the George Washington Bridge at 3:30am every morning.'

WNYW Gets Exclusive Interview with Harvey Weinstein As He Awaits Verdict in Retrial
This morning on Good Day New York, veteran anchor Rosanna Scotto aired her exclusive interview with Harvey Weinstein. Weinstein spoke exclusively to the Fox owned New York station's morning anchor as he waits for a verdict in his New York sex crimes retrial. Scotto asked him why he didn't take the stand, what he thought about the accusations against him and his health and his regrets. Rosanna Scotto: I wanted to ask you why you did not take the stand in your own defense. Harvey Weinstein: I wanted to, and you know, and desperately wanted to. And Arthur, you know, said to me that the jury was, you know what I mean, you know, very, you know, feeling strongly that the jury in that way, you know, understood our case and would be sympathetic to our case. And that the D.A. would try to rip me apart if I took the stand. I'm not afraid of the D.A. But, you know, but this was the best advice and this is the advice you're offered here. Don't take the stand if you don't have to. Scotto: So let me ask you something. There were a lot of women who testified against you, um Weinstein: Yeah. Scotto: What do you think about those women and…and their testimony? Weinstein: I think Arthur said they have four million reasons to testify as in dollars. Scotto: Do you have… do you have any regrets whatsoever? Weinstein: I- I have regrets that I put my family through this, that I put my wife through this, that I acted immorally, you know. I put so many friends through this, you know, but you know, and hurt, you know, people. You know what I mean, that you know, that were close to me by the… by actions that were stupid, you know what I mean. But never illegal, never criminal, never anything, you know what I mean.
