Geraldo Rivera quits Fox News after show removal.
Geraldo Rivera Announces Departure from Fox News
Geraldo Rivera made a surprising announcement on Twitter, revealing that he has quit Fox News after being fired from his role on The Five.
“After 23 years tomorrow Fox and Friends could be my last appearance on the network,” Rivera shared in a video he posted on the platform. “Thanks for the memories.”
Rivera filmed the video while cruising in the water off Jones Beach, en route to the World Trade Center. His reason for filming during this time was to avoid the holiday rush hour traffic in New York.
The Five’s Success Continues
Before his departure, Rivera served as the left-leaning host on The Five, taking over after Juan Williams left in 2021. Despite his exit, The Five has maintained its position as the most-watched cable news program. In fact, it has held this title for the past eight weeks, with an average of 2,644,000 viewers per episode. Within the desired 25-54 age demographic, the show attracted 268,000 viewers.
It’s worth noting that this news comes just two months after Fox News fired prime-time host Tucker Carlson.
