Looks like New Yorkers weren’t that friendly to “Fox & Friends” host Steve Doocy on Monday morning.

Doocy left the studio to interview locals about a proposed ban on texting while crossing the street.

Problem is, no one really wanted to talk to him.

As Mediaite points out, Doocy spent the majority of the segment trying to get someone, anyone, to discuss this pressing social issue.

Doocy shrugged off the public indifference to people simply trying to get to work on a busy Monday morning. However, back in the studio, co-host Brian Kilmeade pointed out what many people may have been thinking.

“Steve wants to come back in, you can tell,” Kilmeade said. “So hard as a reporter when no one wants to talk to you,” co-host Ainsley Earhardt added.

As you might expect, many Twitter users were very amused at Doocy’s floundering segment.

And then there was the guy who asked the question on everyone's mind.

Fox regularly host guests who believe climate change is nothing more than a myth, including Charles Krauthammer. "It's the oldest superstition around," he said. "It was in the Old Testament, it's in the rain dance of Native Americans: if you sin, the skies will not cooperate." Sure, see you at the end of the world. (credit:RomoloTavani via Getty Images)

Aside from Bill O'Reilly's views on pretty much everything, another reason to dislike the presenter surfaced recently when it transpired he had lied about covering the Falklands War.
