“She Didn’t Just Want Dinner—She Wanted a Full Tank Too!” Fox News Hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Lawrence Jones Spill Dating Disasters Live On Air—Fans Left Stunned by Wild Gas Station Twist!

In a moment that had both their co-hosts and viewers laughing, cringing, and gasping in disbelief, Fox News personalities Ainsley Earhardt and Lawrence Jones pulled back the curtain on their real-life dating disasters during a hilariously awkward live segment on Fox & Friends.

What started as a lighthearted conversation about office oversharing quickly spiraled into one of the most talked-about moments of the morning show this year—thanks to a jaw-dropping story involving appetizers, gas pumps, and one very entitled date.

Oversharing at the Office? More Like Oversharing on National TV

The candid exchange began when Earhardt, now engaged to fellow Fox News star Sean Hannity, playfully teased Jones about his tendency to let a little too much slip when it comes to his personal life.

“Lawrence shares a lot about his dating life,” she said with a mischievous grin, setting the stage for what was about to unfold.

Jones, laughing but slightly embarrassed, quickly jumped in to defend himself:

“Yeah, but I share with you off the record, right?” he said, eyeing her with mock suspicion. “And yet, you’ve managed to tell maybe three or four stories about my exes… on air.”

The entire studio burst into laughter. Even Brian Kilmeade and Carley Shimkus, the show’s other co-hosts, were grinning from ear to ear.

Jones added with mock exasperation:

“I get complaints from my exes! They send me clips like, ‘Really? This again?’”

But Earhardt wasn’t about to let him off the hook. She hinted that there was one particular story she wanted Jones to tell—and that’s when the gas station saga began.

The Date From Hell: Four Appetizers, No Shame, and a Demand for Gas Money

Jones, shaking his head with a smile of disbelief, dove into the tale:

“So, I go on this date with a woman who claims to be super independent, right?” he began. “She’s going on and on about how she takes care of herself, doesn’t need a man for anything… you know the type.”

But her behavior told a different story.

“We sit down to eat… and she orders not one, not two… but FOUR appetizers,” he recounted. “Like… who does that on a first date?”

The studio erupted in laughter.

Kilmeade chimed in with perfect timing:

“Two negatives already!”

And the cringe factor was just getting started.

“She didn’t even eat half of them,” Jones continued. “Wasteful! But I’m thinking, okay, whatever. Let’s just get through the date.”

Jones, ever the gentleman, waited to see if she’d at least offer to split the check.

“You know me, I always take care of the bill,” he said. “But after all that talk about being independent, I just wanted to see if she’d at least reach for her purse.”

Spoiler alert: She didn’t.

The Gas Station Twist No One Saw Coming

But just when Jones thought the awkwardness was over, the night took another left turn—this time, straight to the gas station.

“We leave, and she says to me, ‘You know… my car is on E,’” he said.

At first, Jones thought she was joking.

“I was like, ‘Okay… well, I’ll follow you to the gas station, make sure you’re safe,’” he explained.

But that wasn’t enough for her.

“We pull up… and she looks at me like… ‘Are you gonna get out and pump it and pay for it?’” Jones said, mimicking her expectant tone.

Earhardt’s jaw dropped.

“Wait… she actually said that?” she gasped.

“Oh yeah,” Jones replied, shaking his head. “And I said, ‘Nope. I’ll pump it for you… but I’m not paying for that.’”

Cue roaring laughter from the hosts and crew.

Kilmeade joked that the woman might be watching from home—and then took the comedy a step further:

“In fact, we’ve got her on the line right now!” he quipped.

Earhardt, never one to miss a beat, played along:

“Oh my gosh, that was me,” she joked, pretending to be the mystery woman.

Everyone cracked up again.

Social Media Reacts: Fans Can’t Get Enough

It didn’t take long for the clip to start making waves on social media. Within hours, Twitter (now X) lit up with hashtags like #LawrenceJonesDateFail, #AppetizerGate, and #FullTankFiasco.

One viewer tweeted:

“Imagine ordering four apps AND asking for gas money. Girl, be serious 😭.”

Another joked:

“Lawrence Jones dodging red flags like Neo in The Matrix.”

Others took a more sympathetic tone:

“Honestly… that’s bold on her part. Embarrassing… but bold 😂.”

Even some of Jones’ Fox News colleagues jumped into the fun, with anchor Will Cain tweeting:

“Dating in 2025… this is why I stay home.”

Dating Horror Stories Unite: More Confessions to Come?

This isn’t the first time Fox News hosts have gotten real about their dating lives, but few stories have been as outrageous—or as hilarious—as this one.

Some fans are now calling for a recurring segment where hosts share more personal mishaps.

One Reddit user wrote:

“Can we get a weekly ‘Fox & Friends Dating Disasters’ segment? This is better than reality TV!”

Whether or not that happens remains to be seen—but judging by the reaction, producers might want to consider it.

Lawrence Jones Laughs It Off—For Now

As the segment wrapped up, Jones took it all in stride, laughing along with his co-hosts but making one thing crystal clear for future dates:

“Let this be a public service announcement: If you’re coming on a date with me, don’t expect appetizers for the whole table… and definitely don’t expect a free tank of gas.”

As for the woman at the center of the story? Her identity remains a mystery. But if she was watching that morning, one thing’s for sure—she knows exactly who she is.

Stay tuned for the next round of Fox News dating confessions. Something tells us… there are more where that came from.
