Elisabeth Hasselbeck Quitting Fox Morning Show

Elisabeth
Hasselbeck said Monday that she’s leaving as one of the three co-hosts on the
“Fox & Friends” morning show to spend more time with her three
children.

Hasselbeck
was the conservative voice on “The View” before joining Fox News
Channel in September 2013. Her co-hosts, Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade, have
been on the morning chat show since it launched in 1998. It is the top-rated
morning news show on cable.

She
said in a statement Monday that she wants to start the day with her children
first. She and her husband, former pro football quarterback Tim Hasselbeck,
have two boys and a girl between the ages of 6 and 10.

Her
last show on “Fox & Friends” will be in late December. Fox will
try out guest hosts before announcing a permanent successor. Hasselbeck first
received attention as a contestant in the CBS game “Survivor.” ”Fox
& Friends” was parodied this past weekend on “Saturday Night
Live,” with Hasselbeck’s character complaining about coverage for the
upcoming Black Friday shopping day.

“All
Fridays matter,” the character said.
