Laurie Dhue

Laurie Dhue was a program host and anchor on television's Fox News from 2000 through 2008. Dhue broke in as a reporter and sometime anchor with CNN, then moved on to NBC, where she filled in on the Today show and appeared on MSNBC. She joined Fox News in September of 2000, and her blonde good looks made her an immediate favorite with a certain libidinous class of viewers. Besides anchoring general newscasts, she made regular appearances on the shows of Geraldo Rivera and Bill O'Reilly. She left Fox in 2008 after she and the network "were unable to come to terms" on a new contract. Dhue graduated with a political science degree from the University of North Carolina.
