Join comedian Akilah Hughes and reporter Gideon Resnick each morning as they break down the biggest news of the day, share important stories you may have missed, and show you what “Fox & Friends” would sound like if it were hosted by two people whose parents read to them as children.

What A Day is available Monday through Friday starting at 5 a.m. EST, so you’ll always be caught up – on everything from impeachment hearings to creepy “Cats” trailers, and all the harrowing and hopeful news in between.
