Longtime Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy surprised many viewers on May 1 when he announced a major shift in his role at the network. After spending decades in the New York studio — and becoming a recognizable staple of the show’s famous “curvy couch” — Doocy revealed that he will no longer appear in person on a daily basis from the Manhattan set. His presence there has been such an established part of the show’s identity that the announcement instantly sparked attention from longtime fans who have grown accustomed to seeing him in the studio every morning.
