On the set of Fox & Friends

Error
This video doesn’t exist
It was my first time in a while sitting in with the Fox & Friends folks and this time, the weekend crew was nice enough to invite me out for a couple of days. Kelly Wright took a vacation out west and I switched coasts with him, taking the red eye from LAX to JFK in New York over Thursday night into Friday morning.

Thursday was quite a day. In the past, many of you have asked about our crazy travel schedules and how it all plays out, so here’s a sample. We were on location in San Diego for the landlside at 5am and reported live for the channel, a few of our Fox affiliates and for Fox News Radio until 3:00pm. Then it was in our cars – I jumped into our satellite truck and we all headed north. The crew got to go home, but I had to make for the flight. We arrived at our west coast bureau in LA about 5:30, I rushed home (legally), packed a bag, grabbed a quick bite to eat and was off to the airport — about 25 minutes away.

I made the flight that evening and eventually arrived into New York City about 8am. Got to the hotel, showered and changed and walked into the Fox & Friends meeting Friday morning at 10:15am. Not bad, if I do say so myself. A couple of massive cold coffees kept me awake and other than my FOX pass working only periodically, everything went rather smooth on Friday. I had some meetings with bosses, but once the night came around, I started to dose off at dinner.

My body has gotten used to the flights, odd hours and now the ability to catch shut eye anywhere at any time. I still insist playing in the minor leagues (baseball) prepared me for this job like no other. That’s because in the minors you travel overnight on busses, so sleeping anywhere becomes essential. You eat at random times, travel often and somewhat lightly, travel last minute and spend a considerable amount of time with people that are not members of your family; although many become that.

As for the Fox and Friends gig, the staff, crew and anchors are fantastic. Greg Kelly and I have been friends since the war began back in 2003 and it was fun razzing each other a bit.

Hey Foxrocks. You make a valid point…yesterday Greta tried to send us to Laura Ingle’s blog too…think she’s getting fed up with us???? LOL :-)

 
Comment by Mary

Hey Adam! Greta says we need to visit your blog….okay, I was here! I’m headed back to Greta!

 
Comment by Greta Van Susteren

Ask Adam about his gadget problem….when is he going to go get help? Greta

 
Comment by Greta Van Susteren

Tell the viewers / readers about your gadget addition…talking about it may help you with your problem. Greta

 
Comment by Trisha Herom

Comment by Karen T

Adam!!!!!!… Greta told us to come here and check out your new blog! Love the new studio! You’re pretty good with the handy cam… keep them coming.. we love behind the scenes video. Are we allowed to harass you like we do Greta? A piece of advice, some of us bloggers have a pretty warped sense of humor so don’t take anything personally. So… are you going to let us know what’s going to be on your next show?

 
Comment by Ernee

Hi,

Greta sent me here. Ernee

 
Comment by Ann

Greta sent us scampering right over to you.

I’m not really a blogger but wanted you to know how much I admire your reporting, very factual and professional, not a lot of the innuendos and speculation as from others, appreciate that. You report - I decide ! ! !

 
Comment by Barb H

Hi, Greta said to pay you a visit. Nice to visit your blog, now back to see what she may have added.

 
Comment by Karen T

aaahhh… Adam… you’re having a gadget problem? Lay it on us… we’ll give you advice.

 
Comment by John

Greta sent us to spice up your blog.

What is your gadget problem. Hopefully nothing that requires the intervention of the distinguished Gentleman from Idaho.

 
Comment by Jeanie in the UP of Michigan

Hi Adam…..Greta Sent me!!!!

Comment by Kathy in TX

Hey Greta sent me too. But you did a great job as anchor. Am I correct this was your first semi anchor on Fox? I knew people were soaking up Starbucks, how else would anyone be able to be alert!

 
Comment by Karen T

I second what Tyler said… we bloggers like and require frequent blog updates… so no slacking allowed Adam. We really don’t want to get mad at you.

 
Comment by Anne

I don’t normally watch Fox and Friends but was off work and thought you did a great job. I didn’t even know you weren’t a regular on Fox and Friends, just remember you teaching Greta how to throw out a first pitch at a baseball game !! Of course, I wouldn’t be here if Greta hadn’t sent me to your blog. That Greta, one never knows what she’ll be up to next !!

 
Comment by Kathy

Hi Adam! Greta sent me too. She tells us you have a gadget problem? Tell us about it….we may be able to help!

 
Comment by Dennis in Vegas

Adam, the first step in addiction cure is admission. Be brave, stand up and admit it to the world! You CAN be cured. (Gretta sent me)

 
Comment by Gloria Reffalt

Hi Adam: Greta sent me here and for the life of me, I am not sure why. What are you known for??? What is your speciality???

I did enjoy reading your blog and, of course, Fox is the only channel I watch (most of the time)

 
Comment by donna

adam,
be very afraid! your ‘1 comment’ and ‘ 2 comments’ articles on your current blog will be increasing greatly!! LOL

greta sent us!

and her comment numbers can be as high as 250-300 for a good story!

love the behind the scenes videos!

good luck on your new blog

 
Comment by Jean in KY

Adam how do you rush anywhere in LA? My perception of driving in LA is constant grid lock. You all amaze me how you to travel,but as they say ‘that’s
the biz’. Good luck on Fox & Friends. I can’t say I’ll see you much, becuase, I don’t have to be up at that hour.

 
Comment by kate

hi adam

um greta sent me too ;)
nice blog

you went to pepperdine right? i went to point loma — our teams played each other in baseball.

 
Comment by Michelle

Hi Adam,

I love your new blog. Not as much as I love Greta’s though. Ha ha. Greta said to send you her love.
I hope you have a great day. Tell Shep I think he is hot. Thanks.

 
Comment by Angie

Adam, when did you first discover your addiction to gadgets? Acknowledging you have a problem is the first step! lol

 
Comment by Adam Housley

WOW….Greta has pull! I do have to say that I DO have a gadget problem, but not like Greta’s. I tell her every day that she is a bad influence on me. OK…to answer all of you. I will be updating this blog daily. Sometimes on a slow day just, on others when we’re getting tear gassed in Venezuela….many more times in a day.

Thanks for the support and for stopping on over. You know you can read more than one FOX Blog!

 
Comment by Barbara in Okl.

Greetings from Oklahoma! I did happen to catch your weekend anchoring job also. Good job! By the way - Greta says hello!

 
Comment by Jessica from Germany

Hey Adam,

Greta sent me here… Great blog!

Take care,
Jessica

 
Comment by Angela

Hey, great blog Adam! It’s almost as good as Greta’s! Just kidding…

 
Comment by Betty

Hi Adam

Greta is trying to weed out some her problem bloggers so here I am!

So what new gadget are you gonna buy today? Shopping for the latest stuff is soooo much fun!

Have a good day!

 
Comment by George Spink

Adam Housley? Adam Who?

I watch FoxNews quite a bit. Ainsley, Megyn, Martha, Jane, Greta, Julie B., Kimberly, and Laurie are some of the reasons.

Greta is my favorite. Smart, beautiful, sharp, great sense of humor. Her only drawback: She is a lawyer. On the plus side, and Greta has many pluses, she is from Appleton, Wisconsin (I’m from Chicago). On the minus side, she is a Packers fan (I’m a Bears fan). So it goes. She went to that “university” in Madison.

I’ve lived in Los Angeles for almost 20 years now. In fact, I’m only a couple of miles from the Fox News studios on Bundy near Olympic, across the street from the Holiday Spa.

But, I don’t recall seeing you on Fox 11 or FoxNews, Adam.

Unless, and maybe this is it….

Adam, are you that tall, sort of geeky guy who looks like Jeff Goldblatt’s younger cousin? Yes, you’re the one they have running all over L.A., Southern California, the West Coast, almost anywhere they need a reporter. Yes, now I know who you are. You’re the one who goes to In-N-Out Burger all the time — my favorite, too.

Adam Housley, FoxNews’ man on the run….

Greta told us to give you a big ol’ Howdy. :-)

 
Comment by Cal

Hey gadget man so whats up? I feel like I need a pass word to get through Door #1 so here it is
” Greta sent us” Word of advice….don’t even try to keep up with her..better yet you may not want to.
Take tips from her on eating, sleeping and traveling. I am convinced that she has over a dozen suitcases just waiting for the next trip.Clever. But who does her washing………another question what kind of gadget are you going to come up with to do your?
Welcome to Greta’s bloggers, we are a find group of folks!!! Just ask us. Where else can we go to express our thoughts?

 
Comment by sue eaton

Comment by George

Keep up the fine work.

 
Comment by R

In a world where Greta rules, we obey!

 
Comment by Lynn8

Hi Adam ~ good luck with your blog and all your gadgets……they just baffle me, but, hey….whatever floats your boat!! BTW, I was sent from up above :)

 
Comment by Patty

Greta says HIYA! (and me too!) :-)

 
Comment by maria m.

Wow, all of you people Greta sent here? Well, Greta didn’t send me, she PAID me to post a comment here :-) I guess she likes me better!

 
Comment by maria m.

PS: I only caught Greta’s piece with Gloria last night. I was watching the Yankees LOSE!!!!! Go Red Sox!!!!

 
Comment by Dianne in Richmond

Greta sent me! ;-)
Adam, I am sure that your travel experience with the minors helped you learn to get a bit of shut eye anytime. My daughter who was a year around swimmer can sleep anywhere, any time, for any length of time and on any mode of transportation. I envy you and her.

Will definitely check back to your blog.

 
Comment by Michael

Adam call Greta’s gadget with your gadget and discuss gadgets.

 
Comment by Maureen Hemphill

Hi Adam…Greta said to visit your blog. Like it very much and will be back often.
I have liked your on-air time but wanted to see more of you and was happy to
see you on Fox and Friends. Besides you are cute too and Greta knows cute.
Your friend Greg is also. haha

 
Comment by Patty

btw: who needs a 28 day program?? You’ve got 28+ new bloggers! *LOL*

 
Comment by Karen T

Adam.. we’ll let you off the hook, if in fact you are being tear gassed in Venezuela. But we will be watching your eyes checking for redness. Keep that in mind as you’re looking into the camera reporting to us. Don’t let the guilt of not frequently updating your blog overcome you. I love the picture of you on Greta’s blog where you’re leaning up against the fence (I think in Iraq)… you’re cute. If you see Shep tell him I think he’s hot.

be safe Adam.

 
Comment by Tanya Byrd

Hi Adam, Another greeting from Okla. Saw you this week end on Fox and Friends. Good job. You did seem somewhat uncomfortable with the laid back news delivery. But good job anyway!! Greta said tell you Hi, and I’m glad I did.

 
Comment by Adam Housley

Betty-

you have no idea about some of the problem e-mailers we get, so a blogger is an easy take. Welcome aboard!

Adam

 
Comment by yvonne

Hey Adam……….Nice blog you have…….Greta sent me here to say hi……Have you heard from MELISSA yet?

 
Comment by Kathie, Atlanta

You don’t have to trek to the Gadget Guru in Tibet; we’re here for you! Spit it out!
If we can’t answer the question; we can certainly give you an aversion before you hit bottom and have to go to Gadget Rehab!
Oh, the next time you invite Greta to do the show, my physic ability tells me she can’t make it. She’ll be deer shining!

 
Comment by wendy, los angeles

Hi Adam. there is a complete nut on Gretawire called “Melissa”…..just giving you a heads up….

 
Comment by Jan

Hi Adam! Greta said to come visit you- so here we are!!!!! Nice blog. . . are you SURE you want to do this?
Later-

 
Comment by Greta Van Susteren

Maybe we should send Melissa from Gretawire to Adam’s blog….you all know which one I mean (a/k/a hostile woman whose life must be pretty rough since all she can do is sit around and insult)… just kidding…

 
Comment by Barb

Hi Adam…Greta sent me here to say hi…We live in southern Utah (yes, Warren Jeffs country) but are originally from NorCal (Newcastle). We are moving back as soon as we can sell the house, our son lives in Lincoln, so somewhere around that area. He is an officer at Sac State Prison so he has lots of interesting stories. Anyway…next time we get up there we are going to head down to your family winery…been wanting to do that…anyway, hi from Barb and Carl

 
Comment by Cheryl

So you have a gadget prob, hummm. Greta said to say hi, so HI LOL

Comment by Kathie

Greta says, please bug Adam. Consider yourself bugged! Love your wine, although have not had any for awhile. The holidays are coming.

 
Comment by Susan G., Columbus, Ga.

Adam, Greta sent me…… I did watch you this weekend on Fox and Friends. Do you think Greta is trying to get rid of us? I think you are tops and will be back.

 
Comment by Wendy, Los Angeles,

Too funny that some of us are wondering what happened to possible-future-lithium-user Melissa….By the way George Spink, I work right near the Fox Bureau also, on Olympic/Purdue….I think you might be thinking of William LaJeunesse, maybe?

 
Comment by Di

Hey Adam………………Thought I would drop you a line, we really enjoy all your reporting on Greta’s Show…………………You make everything so easy to follow and understand, without letting us know your opinion……………..We really like that……………we look forward to all your reporting (where ever you may be)…………….and will wait till we hear you too have your own show…………Have a good day, and don’t forget to spend some time with your Family………….That is most important…………………..Jim and Di

 
Comment by Ronnie Reams

Ditto, no that is Rush’s thing… Greta said to come by and say Hello..

 
Comment by Tyler

I like Greta’s thinking! That will give me another chance to tell that little punk off! Did ya like the way we took care of that for ya Greta? Don’t worry Adam. Greta’s security team from Gretawire is interchangeable to this blog as well! LOL

 
Comment by Lisa

Hi Adam! Greta says to tell you hello, so, Hello!

 
Comment by Sherry

Hi Adam,
Love your name. Greta asked me to come and visit you. Do you think she is trying to get rid of us?

 
Comment by Kathy in Texas

Okay Adam I know I can help you and Greta with your gadget addiction! All I need is your ebay ID(:D). I know I can find a perfect spot for your last Digital Video Recorder!

Now my son (who BTW would be a humdinger of a cyber athlete) bought a bunch of legos on ebay. He is a kid who can build anything given enough legos.

 
Comment by sherril

Hi Adam, Greta sent me here too. Good luck with your new blog. I think Greta is just trying to show you how great all her bloggers are.lol.

 
Comment by Jen

Hi Adam…was just at Greta’s blog and wanted to say “hi”

 
Comment by Betty

Hi Adam

What new gadget did you buy today? There has to be some special toy out there just waiting for you!

A day without a new toy is like a day without ____________!

 
Comment by Sue K.

Hi Adam - I, too, came over from Greta’s blog to say hello. I did enjoy watching you last weekend with that Fox and Friends Weekend crew. Enjoy your reporting also on everything on the west coast!!

 
Comment by Adam Housley

Some replies:
George- Wow….lay off the caffeine.
Sherry- Greta is surely not trying to send the faithful anywhere, just sharing.
Kathy- I Love Lego’s

Also, thanks for the anchoring support. The bosses at FOX have been amazing and allowed me to anchor a bunch over the course of the last few years. Everything from about 40 mornings on FOX & FRIENDS to even a few days last holiday season on STUDIO B.

 
Comment by Carol From Iowa

Adam, I did see you on the week-end visit. I enjoyed seeing you the week-end Fox And Friends, and thought you did a great job. I do hope they invite you back. Nice blog site, and I will be back. But just so you know. Greta sent us. Just one more blog to read. Thanks Adam.
Carol

 
Comment by William

Comment by Emily Bennett

Hi Greta sent me here — but Greta didn’t need to — I watched you on Fox and Friends Weekend and that you did a pretty good job.
