Jennifer Lahmers

Jennifer Lahmers came to “Extra” from New York City, where she co-hosted “Good Day Wake Up” on WNYW Fox5.

While there, she hosted and produced a number of half-hour specials, including an exclusive, in-depth profile on the U.S. Coast Guard and a weekly half-hour entertainment show called "Studio 5." Her “Jen at Work” series was a fan favorite, and gave her the chance to roll up her sleeves and do some of the toughest, dirtiest jobs in the tri-state area.

Previously, Jennifer worked as weekend anchor and weekday reporter at FOX61. There, she earned several awards in investigative journalism while also penning a weekly humor column for The Hartford Courant and a monthly column for New Haven Living. She began her career as a weekend news anchor and reporter in Jackson, Tennessee, for WBBJ-TV.

She graduated from Ohio University's E.W. Scripps School of Journalism in Athens, Ohio, working every angle of the news business, from newspaper to radio to television.
