Clayton Out! Alisyn Camerota: “Don’t adjust your TV’s: It’s not 2012. Look who [sic] I’m reunited with, Dave Briggs, my old co-host!”* That is how New Day co-host introduced guest co-host Dave Briggs with whom she formerly co-anchored Fox & Friends on FNC (as Early Start promoted the upcoming New Day Show).
As New Day concluded, Aly turned to Dave, smiling, saying, “Well, Dave, um, it’s.” On cue, Dave turned to Aly, deadpanning, “Before, we go, you know…I’ve read this terrific book: I need to get you to sign my copy.” Beaming and looking at the camera, Aly jested, “What’s it called? You mean “Amanda Wakes Up?”
Beaming at his former Fox News co-anchor, Dave declared, “I’ve read it: I’ve done my homework. I’ve searched for my story in there.” Not so facetiously, she replied, “Oh, you may recognize a few characters in there!” Chuckling, Dave responded, “I recognize a little bit.”
And, fans of Fox & Friends Weekend and Fox News in general may recognize a lot. And, Amanda Wakes Up may tell a lot–about Aly’s transmogrification from her FNC role to her CNN one.
Ironically, on the very day that Aly and Dave reunited on CNN morning TV, Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Clayton Morris who was on the same team with Aly and Dave declared his departure from the curvy couch this Labor Day in the penultimate F&F segment and said that he might not ever be on TV again.
*Early Start – 09/04/17 (@ 5:46).

Won’t miss Clayton

I feel sad about Clayton leaving. The turnover at Fox is incredible…Anna K., Tucker, and Clayton were all working there one year ago on F and Friends Weekend. I think Anna regrets her decision and is trying to keep her hand in the pot for the future.

Clayton originally came in with Ainsley and Dave Briggs. Ainsley got bounced for Aly and went back to overnights. Now they’re all gone except for Ainsley, who headlines F&F. Talent wins out.

I was surprised with Clayton making the announcement that he was leaving. He may want a more 9 to 5 job where he can spend more time with Natalie and the kids.
Many other journalists (several on local news outlets) have left tv news and gotten jobs in public relations or in other things because some were tired of not having a life as a private citizen. It’s difficult to go to the grocery store for some of these newscasters.
