\n Geraldo Rivera has called Fox News<\/a> his home since leaving CNBC in 2001 to join the cable outlet as its ostensible war correspondent. He app<\/a>ears to have a lost a recent battle.<\/p>\n

\n After being ousted from a rotation on \u201cThe Five,\u201d Rivera said in a video post on Twitter<\/a> Thursday, he is leaving Fox News. \u201cI\u2019ve been fired from \u2018The Five,\u2019 and as a result, I quit Fox,\u201d the veteran TV personality said, while riding a boat. He said he might appear on \u201cFox & Friends\u201d Friday to offer more comment, but would not be appearing on \u201cThe Five\u201d one last time, as he had previously indicated he would.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe reached an amicable conclusion with Geraldo over the past few weeks, and look forward to celebrating him tomorrow on \u2018Fox & Friends,\u2019 which will be his last appearance on the network,\u201d Fox News said in a statement Thursday evening.<\/p>\n

\n \u00a0Fox News has laid off a small number of staffers as it has\u00a0consolidated some of its weekend programs\u00a0and made tweaks at Fox Business Network. Under the terms of his most recent contract, Rivera has also hosted the \u201cCops: All Access\u201d series<\/a> that appears on the Fox Nation streaming service.<\/p>\n

\n Rivera was made an official member of \u201cThe Five\u201d in January of last year, along with Jessica Tarlov and Harold Ford Jr. \u2014 all part of a rotation of left-leaning panelists \u2014 as well as Jeanine Pirro. Although the program features four conservative panelists and a single left-leaning one, it\u2019s viewed as a sort of \u201cdinner-table\u201d discussion show that airs a range of opinions, and Fox News has used it as a template for other efforts, including \u201cGutfeld,\u201d \u201cOutnumbered\u201d and \u201cThe Big Weekend Show.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n In recent months, however, Rivera\u2019s appearances have seemed more combative, and he appeared to clash with Greg Gutfeld, one of the \u201cFive\u201d regulars and, soon, one of Fox News\u2019 new set of primetime opinion hosts. While Fox News executives have routinely allowed firebrand antics on air, they have tried to tamp down conflict on \u201cThe Five.\u201d Juan Williams, a previous liberal panelist, left in May of 2021 after getting into a few segments that seemed overly argumentative, exacerbated by remote production requirements during the recent coronavirus pandemic. Williams, a former NPR commentator, cited a desire to stay near his family in Washington DC and not return to New York studio production following the end of separation mandated by the contagion.<\/p>\n

\n Rivera has enjoyed a long career in broadcasting, generating controversy even as he teased TV crowds. Over the years, he has hosted a talk show for CNBC and worked for ABC News. He once got his nose broken while hosting a syndicated talk program that brought white supremacists and Black and Jewish activists on at the same time. He once claimed to be on site during the war in Afghanistan when he was actually hundreds of miles away. And he hosted a live special in 1986 that purported to show viewers what was contained in gangster Al Capone\u2019s vaults, only to reveal that they were largely empty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
