Geraldo Rivera Leaves Fox News After Being ‘Fired’ From ‘The Five’

After more than 20 years as a journalist and political commentator on the network, Geraldo Rivera is departing Fox News.

Rivera announced that he was leaving The Five last week and gave more details in a Twitter video posted on Thursday, telling his followers that he quit his position as corresponded-at-large at Fox News. In the clip, Rivera said, “I’m not gonna be on The Five. I’ve been fired from The Five, and as a result of that, I quit Fox. I’ll have more to say about that on Fox & Friends tomorrow morning.”

Rivera explained that there was “a growing tension that goes beyond editorial differences.” His final appearance was on Friday.

On June 21, Rivera wrote that he had a “great run” on The Five and that it was difficult being the “odd man out” as one of the more “liberal” hosts. He later tweeted a shirtless photo of himself and wrote, “I am 80 and I’ve been doing this for 52 years. The problem with retiring though is my restless energy when it concerns issues important to the American people.”

Rivera joined Fox News in 2001, where he served as a war correspondent, weekend anchor and host of the series Cops: All Access. He became popular as a cast member of The Five and was known for arguing with others on the show about current events and political issues. Before Fox News, he worked for CNBC, ABC’s Good Morning America and his own talk show, which ran from 1987 to 1998. Rivera was also known for being the first anchor on television to present the “Zapruder Film” of John F. Kennedy‘s assassination as well as a 1986 special where he entered Al Capone’s vault – which famously turned out o be empty.
