Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera announced Wednesday he would be departing the hit Fox News show “The Five.”
Rivera broke the news via Twitter.
“Morning, it’s official, I’m off @TheFive. My last scheduled show appearances are Thursday and Friday June 29th and 30th. It’s been a great run and I appreciate having had the opportunity.

Rivera joined Fox News in 2001 as a war correspondent and has since served as a rotating host on The Five, according to Fox News.
It is unclear whether Rivera left Fox News of his own volition.
Rivera’s departure from the show comes just weeks after Fox allegedly canceled two of his scheduled appearances on “The Five” after co-host Greg Gutfeld mocked Rivera for criticizing Tucker Carlson, the Daily Beast reported.
“My appearances today and tomorrow on The Five have been canceled,” Rivera tweeted. “I’m sure there’s a good reason. Never fear, I’ll be back week after next. Stay safe and happy. Thanks.”
