Fox News is sending its morning show on the road to honor the 250th anniversary of the U.S.
The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Fox & Friends will depart on a road trip in a fully-outfitted RV, making six stops from Texas to New Jersey along the way, where the show will originate from local restaurants or bars.
At the end of the trip, the channel will give away the RV in question, which has been wrapped with branding from the show, America 250 and sponsor Camping World.
“As we get ready to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, we’re hitting the open road,” Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt said. “We are hopping in an RV and heading across the country with so many special stops along the way. There’s nothing more American than a road trip and we can’t wait to meet the people and visit the places that truly are the heartbeat of America.”
“I actually got to drive the Freedom Traveler we are giving away and when I got behind the wheel it triggered my inner Clark Griswold. Vacation!” added Steve Doocy. “For some lucky viewer, this RV will make it possible for them to travel the country with their family, making memories that last a lifetime.”
The tour will kick off on April 24 in Houston, Texas, at Armadillo Place; followed by The Bid Biscuit in Lenexa, Kansas, on May 6; Fudpuckers in Destin, Florida, May 15; Tortuga Jacks in Jekyll Island, Georgia, on May 28; Lulus in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on June 5; and the final stop will be at Duffer’s Restaurant and Homemade Ice Cream Parlor in Wildwood, New Jersey, on June 12.
The RV giveaway will happen live on the show on July 3, with Fox also covering the tax bill the winner will face.
