Elisabeth Hasselbeck: “I love seeing you in the morning.” Yesterday, Fox & Friends First co-host Ainsley Earhardt filled in for F&F newsreader Heather Nauert. Regrettably, only for the day.
And, seemingly, that is the sentiment that co-anchor Elisabeth Hasselbeck expressed mid-show Monday. Segueing to Ainsley to proclaim the headline news, Elizabeth exclaimed, “You know who looks good? Ainsley!”* Turning to Elizabeth with a big smile, Ainsley cooed, “Aww, you’re so sweet!” Feeling the love, Elisabeth aptly answered, “I love seeing you in the morning!” Perhaps, presciently, Ainsley responded, “Thanks! I love being with you guys!”
Ainsley does fit in rather well with Elizabeth and the F&F boys. Even though she may not have that “alpha bitch” prerequisite a la Lis to co-host with Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade, the South Carolina belle does add her delightfully genteel manner–friendly, funny, and deferential to the “stars” of the show. Instead of the awkward ad hoc observations that Heather too oft makes, Ainsley facilitates a smooth transition from and back to the co-hosts.
For fans of the Chi-town chick (like White House press secretary Tony Snow who told her “God made you beautiful”), she is not bad to look at–at all. But, sometimes, the leggy blonde beauty is just a bit too perky and chirpy for the Fox & Friends dawn. Ironically, an hour earlier, paired with the other Heather (Heather Childers), she can be a delightful wake-up call.
F&FF: Wake up to Heather–in fact, both of them! F&F: But, greet the day with Ainsley and Lis!

Ainsley can do anything. I just want her to do what makes her happy.

I first recall Heather Nauert when she was paired with John Gibson on the Big Story. Heather is an excellent interviewer. I used to think of her as a “velvet hammer.” The interviewee would be lulled into thinking she was just a dumb blond, and she would blast him, when he tried to put something over on her. She proved herself to be one smart cookie.
Ainsley, also a looker, is very capable in a variety of situations. Professional, intelligent and pretty too. One day a number of years back she was interviewing a lawyer on some topic. He actually tried to pick her up on the air, She verbally pushed him off and finally at the end shut him down. She showed her character and came through with class.
Both outstanding Fox foxes.
