This month Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Fox & Friends’ newest anchor chats with Ladies Home Journal about what it was like leaving The View, her secret to 2:45 a.m. wake up calls and how she spent her first night with husband and former pro quarterback Tim Hasselbeck. The May 2014 issue of Ladies’ Home Journal hits newsstands April 13, 2014.
On joining Fox & Friends after leaving The View:
“It was like going from hanging out with your sisters to playing catch with your brothers. I don’t think I am or will ever be the best at what I do but I try really hard. My parents gave me the freedom to pursue passions and take sensible risks.”
On getting up at 2:45 a.m. for her job:
“I don’t even put one foot out of bed without reaching for my concealer. I have concealer everywhere: in my coat pocket, on my nightstand, in my car. The alarm goes off and I feel for my glasses. I put the concealer on and I’m ready to start my day.”
On her first date with husband Tim Hasselbeck:
“We met when we were students at Boston College. We got locked out of the dorm we both lived in. There was nowhere to go, so we sat up against a bike rack and fell asleep holding hands. That first date lasted 14 hours. It wasn’t magical – we had our backs up against a metal bike rack! – but it felt strangely comfortable.”
On what I learned from being on Survivor in 2011:
“I don’t like to fish. I don’t like being out in the wilderness. I don’t want to be with an animal that doesn’t have a cute name or an owner. I went in thinking I was tough and I found out I wasn’t tough at all. But I learned that facing your weaknesses can make you stronger.”
On her first pair of glasses growing up: “People tried to talk me out of buying them. But when I finally knew I would be able to see better with glasses, I wanted the biggest pair so I wouldn’t miss a thing.”
On the biggest minconception about her:
“That I’m super-organized and type A. I’m a wannabe type A. I don’t even see the messes I make. Right now I probably have an apple rotting at the bottom of my bag.”
