Constance Jones was on Fox 5's "Good Day Atlanta" for just a hot second before leaving to move back to Miami earlier this year with no explanation given.

Jones has since landed a new gig as a correspondent for a new TLC features/lifestyle talk show "Young Americans" hosted by "Jersey Shore" alum Jenni "JWoww" Farley. The show debuts in January, 2018 though a specific date has not been announced. JWoww, 31, is married with two kids.

The show is gunning for Millennials based on the production company's sales pitch:

"Young Americans!" is a magazine style National Television Series focusing on entertaining, educating and empowering Millennials to be the best they can be! Each episode will be taped in different millennial "hotspots" such as South Beach, New York City and Los Angeles.

Jones will be one of the South Beach correspondents. She's in the promo video here.
