New Yorkers Have No Time For 'Fox & Friends' Host Steve Doocy

Looks like New Yorkers weren’t that friendly to “Fox & Friends” host Steve Doocy on Monday morning.

Doocy left the studio to interview locals about a proposed ban on texting while crossing the street.

Problem is, no one really wanted to talk to him.

As Mediaite points out, Doocy spent the majority of the segment trying to get someone, anyone, to discuss this pressing social issue.

Doocy shrugged off the public indifference to people simply trying to get to work on a busy Monday morning. However, back in the studio, co-host Brian Kilmeade pointed out what many people may have been thinking.

“Steve wants to come back in, you can tell,” Kilmeade said. “So hard as a reporter when no one wants to talk to you,” co-host Ainsley Earhardt added.

As you might expect, many Twitter users were very amused at Doocy’s floundering segment.

And then there was the guy who asked the question on everyone's mind.

Birmingham is a Muslim-only city

No it isn't. But this didn't stop the channel allowing an expert claim other wise. Steven Emerson said: "And in Britain, it's not just no-go zones, there are actual cities like Birmingham that are totally Muslim where non-Muslims just simply don't go in." A full apology and retraction swiftly followed.
