FOX News viewers got a peek behind the curtain as two of the network’s morning hosts spilled juicy details about their dating disasters live on air.
The surprising exchange played out during a lighthearted moment on Fox and Friends.
The show airs out of New York.
Ainsley Earhardt and Lawrence Jones, along with cohosts Brian Kilmeade and Carley Shimkus, exchanged laughs and awkward looks as they revealed some real-life dating mishaps.
It all started with Earhardt teasing Jones about how he tends to overshare.
“Lawrence shares a lot about his dating life,” she said with a grin.
Jones jumped in to clarify.
“Yeah, but I share with you off the record, right? And you have managed to tell maybe three or four stories of my exes on air,” he said.
He added that some of his exes weren’t thrilled about that.
“I get complaints,” he said. “Because they go, people take clips of this and they go, really?”
Earhardt, who is engaged to fellow Fox News star Sean Hannity, admitted she knew one particular story she wanted Jones to share.
He went on a date with a woman who ordered “like 5 million appetizers” and asked Jones to pay for her gas after the date.
“She would go on this date and she claims to be so independent,” Jones began.
“She orders four appetizers on a date, and she’s wasteful. She doesn’t even eat it all.”
“Two negatives,” Kilmeade responded.
“You know, after all her talk about being independent, I typically pay, but I wanted to see her at least make a move for the bill,” Jones remarked.
But things only went downhill from there.
Fox News hosts
Meet the hosts who appear on Fox News:
“She didn’t,” he said.
“But it got worse, didn’t it?” Kilmeade asked.
Jones said the woman asked for more than just dinner.
“She goes, ‘You know, my car is on,’” he recalled.
“I said, ‘OK, I’ll follow you to the gas [station],’ and she wanted me to fill her up.”
Earhardt couldn’t believe it: “She said, ‘You get out and pump it and pay for it?’”
“That’s right,” Jones confirmed.
When asked if he did it, Jones said, “No, I didn’t. I pumped it, but I wasn’t paying for that.”
The hosts then joked that the woman might be listening.
“In fact, we got her on the line right now,” Kilmeade said playfully.
“Oh my gosh, that was me,” Earhardt joked, impersonating her.
“That is the worst date ever,” she added, laughing.
The moment quickly shifted to a more serious segment, but the dating horror story left a mark.
