As the show goes back to the New York studio, I\u2019ll be staying in D.C.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll be working for Fox out of Washington. My work as a Fox News political analyst will continue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He <a href=\"https:\/\/video.foxnews.com\/v\/6256162513001#sp=show-clips\">offered<\/a> a heartfelt thanks for his experiences in the host\u2019s chair. \u201cYou know it\u2019s been going on seven years since I have been a daily host of this show. The show\u2019s popularity has grown every single year,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, thank you \u2014 thank you so much to you, the viewers. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last week, \u201cThe Five\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adweek.com\/tvnewser\/week-of-may-17-cable-network-ranker-fox-news-marks-14-straight-weeks-at-no-1-but-posts-week-to-week-losses\/479244\/\">ranked<\/a>&nbsp;as the fourth most-viewed show on cable news. This Tuesday, \u201cThe Five\u201d attracted nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adweek.com\/tvnewser\/tuesday-may-25-scoreboard-fox-news-remains-no-1-tucker-carlson-and-rachel-maddow-have-2-most-watched-shows\/479497\/\">2.5 million<\/a> total viewers \u2014 nearly as much as CNN\u2019s top three shows combined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are incredibly grateful for [Williams\u2019] commitment to the show and its success over the last several years,\u201d said Megan Albano, vice president of weekend primetime and&nbsp;\u201cThe Five\u201d<em>&nbsp;<\/em>at Fox News, in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Williams chose to leave when it was announced that the show, which has been shot remotely during the coronavirus pandemic, was set to return to its New York City location on June 1.
