'I'm not retiring. I'm not leaving the show. I'm still a host, but it's time for a change.' (Watch his full announcement here.) He added that his new role will 'make it easier for me to report from Florida and other parts of America that don't get a lot of network airtime. I'll be going from the Carolinas to the Keys, from middle America to Mar-a-Lago. Call me the coast-to-coast host.' Plus, he still plans to join 'the couch crew for commentary' remotely, assuring viewers that they will 'still hear my voice and my opinions loud and clear.' Though Doocy said he was delighted to no longer wake up in the middle of the night for his work commute, he got emotional when acknowledging his friends and colleagues in New York that he won't see every day. 'I have a lot of friends in this skyscraper. I'm going to miss seeing them in person,' a choked-up Doocy went on. 'The security guys, the cafe crew, especially the hair and makeup team, because they are geniuses at what they do. And the closest to my heart: the Fox & Friends team, working day and night producing America's No. 1 cable morning news show.' Doocy then gave individual kudos to Fox & Friends co-hosts Brian Kilmeade, Ainsley Earhardt and Lawrence Jones, who cued up a sizzle reel of highlights from Doocy's many years at Fox & Friends.
