“As a college intern in 1998, I would walk into the Fox News Channel building, dreaming of the future,” Piro said on Facebook. “Today, that future is here...and the boy from Jersey is finally home. Join me at 7:20a on Fox and Friends to learn more about my journey and the family that made me who I am today.”

"Fox and Friends" is hosted by Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade. Recently the show has picked up a large number of viewers and posted its best month earlier this year. It is one of President Donald Trump's favorite news shows, according to the LA Times.

Piro left NBC Connecticut in April, according to TV Spy. He is married to Fox 61 morning news anchor Amanda Raus.
