This job required a move, and she settled in Georgia, staying there until 1999 when she switched Georgia for North Carolina and ABC’s affiliate WLOS-TV in Asheville. This new engagement lasted until 2002, as Heather was hired by the News 14 Carolina as their news anchor.

Fox News Channel

Heather earned a name for herself in Carolina, as she won several awards and got her hands on several important stories, which led to a job offer from Fox News Channel in 2010.

Heather accepted the offer, and in the fall of 2010, officially became the newest employee of the Channel. One of her first on-screen tasks was as the anchor of the “America’s News Headquarters” in August 2011, then in 2012 she was appointed as one of the co-hosts of the “Fox and Friends” show, and until 2017 co-hosted more than 940 episodes.

In 2017, she moved to “Fox and Friends First” as the host, one of two rotating hosts, the other being Heather Nauert. In addition, Heather has contributed to several other shows on the Fox News Channel, such as “Outnumbered” (2014), “Fox Report with Jon Scott” (2014-2017), and “America’s Election HQ” (2016), among others.

Awards and Controversies

Heather has had a number of successful moments in her career, but also a couple of those that aren’t ones to brag about.

Thanks to her hard work, she has won such awards as Golden Viddy, Best Female News Anchor, then National Academy of Television Journalists, Best Documentary Readers Choice Award, and National Academy of Television Journalists, Best Female News Anchor. On the other hand, Heather had a situation back in 2012 when she lined an article from the website godfatherpolitics.com that spoke about Barack Obama’s birth certificate, to her Twitter account.
