Larry Kudlow ended his nine-year run on his CNBC show on Friday by thanking his viewers and declaring at the end of his "Kudlow Report" program, "I am a blessed person."
"Let me thank all the viewers who've stayed with me down through the years and all who have wished me well," said Kudlow, 66, fighting back tears as he continued his farewell. "I am truly grateful. … And to all of you out there, as always, thank you — and God bless you."
The CNBC host, who is regular guest on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV, retired from full-time work at the network on Friday. Kudlow will continue at the cable network as a senior contributor to various CNBC business and news programs.
"Kudlow Report" began in January 2009 and offered a mixture of politics and business. The program succeeded "Kudlow & Company," which aired from 2005 until October 2008. Before that, starting in 2002, the program was called "Kudlow & Cramer" — with investment guru Jim Cramer as co-host. From 2001 to 2002, the program was called "America Now."
Tributes had been pouring in all week — including many on Friday via Twitter — and the last show followed Kudlow's standard format: There were discussions on business, politics and the economy and interviews with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and magazine publisher Steve Forbes.

His debates with Eleanor Clift on MacLaughlin were classic.
The heavyweights are all leaving CNBC. Hmmmm...
Disagree. He is a strong proponent of whatever will keep the Wall Street bubble inflated. Kudlow would roast live kittens over hot coals if it would jerk the S&P up 50.
He was big on Shamnesty. Won’t be missed here.
I guess it can become somewhat of a grind doing that show every day year after year.
My beef with Larry Kudlow is he almost always and I use the word ALWAYS deliberately, ignores the bad side of things.... he is always looking only at the good news.
Hence, he actually minimized the mortgage crisis when it was rearing its ugly head in late 2007 and early 2008 claiming that only a small portion of mortgages were under water.
He was also taken by surprise at the huge market downturn after that.
Even now, if you listen to his radio program ( I do on Saturday mornings ), he is very bullish on the US stock market...
The man is a hopeless optimist.
