Good news for Donald Trump and, maybe, anyone who loves to follow his early morning tweets: Fox & Friends First will soon start an hour earlier. If you’re counting, that means five hours of Fox & Friends daily, starting at 4 AM ET.
According to Fox News’ statement, current Fox & Friends Fist host (and birther) Heather Childers has been bumped back to the 4 AM slot (I’m sure she’s thrilled – not). Her old time slot will now be cohosted by Jillian Mele and Rob Schmitt. The change takes effect on Monday. "Regular" Fox & Friends will continue in its usual time slot of 6-9 AM ET.
“With the expanded lineup, Fox News Channel now has more women anchoring and hosting programs than any other cable news network during weekdays from 4am to midnight ET,” Fox boasted.
I wonder how many guests will want to be on the air between 4 and 5 AM ET? Something tells me they won’t be the A-list.
In case you missed Childers’ infamous birther tweets, they are below:

Childers was reportedly reprimanded for the tweets as what Fox called “a mistake.”
