Lauren Green is known as an American journalist. She is most famous for being the Chief Correspondent of Religion for the Fox News Channel.
Lauren Green was born on June 30, 1958 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Lauren was born as the daughter of Bessie and Robert Grissam. Her home state of Minnesota isn’t known for being a red Republican state but it was surrounded by enough red states to have a conservative influence on Lauren’s family. Lauren had a big family with multiple siblings. She has two sisters, one being named Lois and the other is unknown and private. She also has two brothers, Kenneth and Leslie.
In 1984, Lauren Green won the Miss Minnesota pageant when she was 26 years old. Winning the top prize in her local area did not quench her thirst. She decided to enter again the following year but this time she wanted to win the national prize. Unfortunately for Lauren, she was not able to hoist the trophy as she was named third runner-up for the 1985 Miss America pageant.
Broadcasting news was not always the first love of Lauren, it was not the start of her formal education. Lauren had an interest that was related to the performing arts. Lauren received her Bachelor of Music degree in piano performance from her local University of Minnesota. After this point in her life, the spark for broadcasting was lit. She graduated from the Medill School of Journalism which was a program at Northwestern University. She was able to parlay both of her education subjects into lifelong professions. Apart from her career as a correspondent with the Fox News channel, she is also a famous pianist that performs in concerts.
Lauren Green married Ted Nikolis in 2015.

Lauren Green initially joined the Fox News Channel in 1996. Being a correspondent for Fox News automatically put her in a box when it came to the general audience. Fox News is seen as a channel that sides with conservative America. Small government, traditional values, and religious rights are some of the biggest issues that conservatives like to champion. Commentary coming from Fox News almost always aligns with the views of Christians and Catholics. Most of the anchors cater to their audience which is rural America most of the time. Lauren Green is exactly the prototypical anchor that Fox News likes to hire in order to connect with their key demographics.
In her role with Fox News, Lauren has interviewed people from the world of music like Pierre Boulez, Placido Domingo, and Joshua Bell. It was fitting that she would be asked by the network to interview musicians because of her background in music. It made the interview subjects more comfortable knowing that their interviewer was familiar with the world that they came from. Lauren probably also relished the fact that she could pick the brain of artists that she admired and could pick up some musical tips from.
Being a Fox News correspondent leaves her vulnerable for controversy because of the reputation that Fox News has. Fox News is known for stirring controversy by creating a division among groups in America. They have even been accused of creating fake news to force an agenda. After Lauren Green conducted an interview with the famous scholar Reza Aslan, she was hit with a lot of criticism for her line of questions. Aslan at that time was endorsing his new book: Zealot. This book was written about the life of Jesus Christ. Green asked Reza about his former faith in Islam. She wanted to know a former Muslim would be interested in writing a book on Jesus Christ. Aslan respectfully replied by saying that he just had an interest in the Jesus Christ topic from a scholarly point of view.
Lauren did not let Aslan off the hook with that answer. During the end of the interview with Aslan, Green told Aslan that he had a bias as he did not disclose his faith in Christianity while writing about the topic in the book and in his other public interviews. Aslan answered and defended himself by claiming that her accusation was wrong. He stated in his book that there was a mention of him being a Muslim. He referred to the many other print and television interviews where the same question came up and he answered with the mention in his book. Lauren admitted that she had not read the book. Lauren was exposed as trying to push an agenda without checking all the details. This interview was criticized by the public and media for being one of the most embarrassing interviews in the history of the Fox News channel.
In 2004, Lauren decided to take a risk and released her own album called "Classic Beauty”. Her wonderful piano playing style has been appreciated by many music lovers around the country. Although her primary job is being a journalist, she is considered by many to have amazing talent in the field of music.
