In addition, someone in an earlier comment dissed Suzanne Sena for not being news capable. F&F covers some hard news, but it leans a lot more on fluff and human interest pieces and Ms. Sena has a lot of warmth and appeal. Suzanne Sena would be very welcome on F&F Weekends. Paige Hopkins is fine, but she's just not as warm and engaging as others.

They make a nice team. Courtney needs to go back to the Poker Channel or wherever she came from. I refuse to watch if she comes back on and ever replaces Paige. Someone mentioned E.D. Hill, by the way. I like Gretchen so much better than E.D. on Fox & Friends week day mornings. E.D. was always putting Brian down for something. Brian, Gretchen, & Steve have good chemistry.

She couldn't even handle the job when she worked in small market TV. She has no knowledge of world events, geography and politics. She couldn't even handle James Brown's death... the one event everyone thought she could effort. They need to start testing anchors like they do writers for television. Just because you're an aging blonde with a 1/4 of a page resume doesn't mean you can do news. Leave real news for real women and men.

For those who missed it, go to the video section of Fox's website. They've got it on their under "DIY" for Fox & Friends show. Laurie Dhue would be good if they would bring her to F&F and get her far away from Geraldo. She's hosted the show in the past during one of E.D.'s maternity leaves.

So out of all the existing choices, it would have to be either Janice Dean or Paige Hopkins because they know how to liven things up with intelligence and wit. Definately not Ainsley, Alisyn, Courtney or Uma. What about Rachel Mardsen from RedEye? She would be interesting next to Greg Kelly!

I agree with those saying Ainsley was good, but I'd like to see FNC promote their old talent when they have people who'd work in those spots...especially those who have developed an obvious following. I think she used to host a morning show in Texas didn't she? Lurker - thanks for the Red Eye clips!

I realize a lot of her time is spent teaming with Geraldo Rivera, but it would be great to have her appear on week-ends. There's nothing wrong with Kelly and Greg; both are great and intelligent, along with having a sense of humor. If Laurie is not available, either Page Hopkins or Janice Dean would be a good choice. But I would miss JD with her sunshiny weather reports. Hey, have you all forgotten Laurie Dhue?

Courtney doesn't seem up to the job. If you ever watched her interview on the Maxim website where she is writhing atop a poker table wearing a bikini, it is hard to take her seriously on a news show...esp. when she presents herself as an airhead. Another one that I think would do good in the F+F's format is Greg Jarrett. I would love to see more of Janice Dean.

Kimberly and others were on, trying to discuss serious legal issues, and there was Courntney, sitting there with her beautiful teeth, smiling away. She contributed NOTHING to the conversation, and I wondered why on earth Fox hired her! Again, maybe she's a nice girl or whatever, but she has no place on the news, even discussing ANS! If they've got to keep her, put her on some upbeat entertainment segment (which I never watch anyway); maybe she'll be a better fit there.

There was Courtney, giggling like a school girl while telling a guest to check out her You Tube page while Greg and Kelly just looked at her. At best, she is unprofessional. At worst, an embarrassment. I tend to agree with what the others have said. Page Hopkins is very good in the center seat, and I'd like to see Janice Dean give it a go as well. I've also seen Julie B in the mix and, personally, I think shes one of the best they've got. I caught the tail end of F&F this morning and I actually felt bad for Kelly and Greg.

The perfect female co-host would be either Alisyn Camerota, Page Hopkins or Janice Dean. Ainsley was too much of a delicate Southern belle who overdramatized things. Courtney needs to realize that she is NOT at San Diego State Univ anymore and needs to get OUT of the party girl mode. Mike Jerrick was horrible as he always tried to make jokes about anything and everything. The problem right now is the rotating center chair which is completely throwing the balance & chemistry off for the show. I really like Greg Kelly and Kelly Wright.

Her discussions with Shepard Smith, however brief, shows that she has a wide range and can do what suits a show like fox and friends - talk about serious news at one moment and have a casual conversation about less serious topics the next.

I bet that was great. She really needs to be able to talk to more than just doing weather and she handles breaking news really well when she does the overnights headlines. I hate to stay on Friel, but have any of you seen her working on the other shows? She's horrible there too and I really tried to give her a chance. Last week she did an American Idol segment for Studio B and she responded to Shepard with one-word answers or when he'd suggest something she would just agree with him...she would never elaborate. He was having to stretch to fill his and her time. Another night I caught her on Hannity and Colmes and she did the same thing. One word answers and basically acting like she had no clue what she was supposed to do. I think Sean and Alan got annoyed and ended up spending the rest of the segment talking to the other guests on their panel. She's very young (I don't have a problem with that, she's a year older than me, but the problem I have is she acts her age if not younger) and I just don't think she has what it takes to be in such a big place.
