Brian Kilmeade profile…
Newsday’s Verne Gay has a profile of Fox and Friends’ Brian Kilmeade…
Kilmeade gets up most mornings at around 2:30 for the limo ride into the city. Why not move closer to work? “I wanted to be the guy that becomes successful in Massapequa [because] everyone else left,” he says.
“The Kilmeades all hold the mast up” for Massapequa, says “Fox & Friends” executive producer David Brown. “When the Amy Fisher-Joey Buttafuoco [dating story] came to light recently, he was like, ‘Noooo…. Do we have to do this? It’s my hometown.’ He’s very, very much about Massapequa.”
Brian is the real reason I watch Fox and Friends.
That smile, those dimples, that hint of a bad boy - color me hooked!
It is an added bonus when he conducts interviews involving far weightier subject matter.
Brian’s recent visits to American military bases produced heart-tugging programming. Particularly the last one, when young - very young - soldiers stood so straight and talked about their military service.

I love Brian too! I used to get so mad because I thought Steve and E.D. would gang up on him, but Gretchen is so kind to him, it’s a nice change. And I think E.D. is doing better by herself.
Brian is very intelligent, but I believe he puts on an act. And that’s why the program is popular - all three hosts are entertaining in their own rights.

I think Brian does the “dumb jock” act too….I think the format of F&F is such that each has a role to play to give it the format of sitting around the morning with your coffee and chatting with friends and discussing different views and opinions…

I like Brian as well. It’s enjoyable to watch his banter with the others especially Alisyn. Since E.D. moved Brian has had to help fill in the void created by Gretchen. Steve and Brian both really have a lot of patience with that dud.

I too watch Fox & friends because of Brian… He is the real deal as is Shep. I can tell Gretchen has a lot of respect for Brian and he so deserves it. He does a lot for our people in uniform also.
I think Alisyn has an attitude problem sometimes.

Brian is my favorite and I wait every day for him to make the crew laugh! And sorry, Kenneth….Gretchen is not a dud. She’s fitting in nicely with the two FNC veterans. It took a little time, but I enjoy all three of the morning bunch now. I’m still having a rough time getting over E.D., Lauren and Kiran being gone, but time heals all wounds, I guess. “Allie” is a little hard for me to stomach, but I’ll get there one of these days.

I love Brian, actually both he and Steve are a riot. It’s nice to have a few laughs in the morning along with the news of the day.

I like Brian Kilmeade on TV and radio but oh that audio sports Podcast to which I subscribe!
Brian is (a) much too New York centric and, (b) apparently doesn’t like anybody in Bay Area sports, especially Barry Bonds!
