Longtime host and political commentator Geraldo Rivera announced his official departure from Fox News Thursday afternoon via a Twitter video, which he filmed while on a boat.
'Bumpy day on the North Atlantic. Anyway, I got fired from @TheFive so I quit Fox. After 23 years tomorrow Fox and Friends could be my last appearance on the network. Thanks for the memories,' he captioned the video.
The 79-year-old said he had been fired from The Five - Fox's daily roundtable political commentary show - and so he subsequently quit the network after more than two decades.
He added he would have more to say about his departure on Fox & Friends Friday morning.
The news of Rivera's departure was seemingly a long time coming, as news broke last week he had been booted from The Five following a number of on-air disagreements between him and co-hosts Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld.
Rivera, who has been a staple of FOX News since 2001, announced his sudden ouster on Twitter last week, writing: 'It's official, I'm off The Five. My last scheduled show appearances are Thursday and Friday June 29th and 30th.

This ancient geezer is as old as the mummy in the white hospice.
Almost as likeable as Whine Williams.
Four decades too late you mustachioed sphincter.
Geraldito realized he should never stoop so low as to work for any network that would deign to hire him in the first place.
Disgusting POS!
Disliked him intensely when he was a news reader at a Philly station.
They did a big tribute this am with people praising him. Everyone BUT Gutfeld!
I try to catch The Five every day, and I won’t miss Geraldo at all. There was always something sleazy and incredible self-absorbed about him.
(Glad Juan is gone, too. I’ve never seen such a knee-jerk liberal.)
It could be the best show on FOX, it has a different production element than most. "Outnumbered" is similar but with 4 gals.
