The New York Giants all-time leading rusher Tiki Barber scores eight days as a guest co-host on GOOD DAY NEW YORK this month. Barber joins fellow FOX personalities including Mike Jerrick, Laurie Dhue and Rick Folbaum, as they co-host with and/or fill-in for WNYW-FOX5 anchor Jodi Applegate.

“I look forward to working with different members of the FOX family this month,” said Jodi Applegate, FOX5 anchor. We have a wonderful variety of guests scheduled to appear on the show in the coming weeks. You’ll have to tune-in every morning to see who’s in the ‘hot seat’ and what we’re doing that’s new and different.”

“Dayside’s” Mike Jerrick returns to his local morning show roots for one week on WNYW-FOX5. From April 10 to April 14, Jerrick will co-host GOOD DAY NEW YORK with Applegate. Jerrick has previously served as co-anchor of WTXF’s "Good Day Philadelphia."

One week later, it’s touchdown television, as Tiki Barber dashes into his eight-day stint with Applegate. A familiar face on FOX & Friends, Barber runs uptown to FOX5 studios during the last two weeks of April (April 17-19 and April 24-28).

“I’m looking forward to the upcoming shows on ‘Good Day New York,’ said Barber. “As much as I’ve broadened my horizons to the national scope, New York is my backyard and I hope the viewers will enjoy it as much as I will.”

“Geraldo At Large” reporter Laurie Dhue and FOX5 anchor Rick Folbaum will take over the morning anchor desk for Applegate on Thursday, April 20 and Friday, April 21.
