Host Doocy related Jones' joining to the "first day of school" after returning from a week-long leave for the summer as it felt like they got a new classmate.
The new host also said that he felt like he is "already a part of the family and the bosses just made it official with paperwork."
Jones has been the enterprise reporter for the morning show since 2021 and has now taken over a permanent position as a regular.
Host Earhardt shared some of the love and support through an Instagram post as well which showed a selfie of the new weekday regulars set.
Her caption read: "Look who has joined the team and the #curvycouch!! Lawrence is here and we couldn’t be happier. @lawrencebjones3 @foxnews @foxandfriends #family Watch the Fox News Channel from 6-9 AM ET."

Doocy mentioned how he had spent his time off work in Jones' hometown Dallas and brought up how it must be difficult for him to do a back and forth to the Big Apple for his morning work hours now.
"At least I have my New York family here," Jones revealed, "I have spent half the holidays at Sean Hannity's house just because I couldn't make it back home. So, I'm just gonna do the same thing now."
Jones has previously made multiple appearances on Hannity's show as a guest.
