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.

” Narcissistic asshat.” Yup. Perfect description. His segment on The Five he called “Geraldo’s news about Geraldo” was all about HIM! He had no clue that nobody cared.
13 more years and I will be a fishing guide.
Yep!!!
Back then, sexual assault from a well known, well liked celebrity was rarely pursued or made public.
In today’s world, Geraldo would be figuratively Drawn and Quartered by the Gloria Allreds of the world.
He ain’t gonna. His ego won’t let him! He thinks we need him. He will go on to the bitter end. Just like Wallace. Ego.
Don’t care. He is done. Maybe he can go to cnn.
A sad desperate human, actually. Truth.
He will be missed.
By nobody.

I am going in for full diclosure here.
&Y aj go8ng ful banjo.
I have detested Geraldo Rivera sunce the eary 70s when he called Vietnem veterans “baby killers as” they were debarking aircraft in California , they were returning home.
Rivera is a low life, unpatriotic and treasonous to America.
When I heard he quit Fox ,I danced for joy.
A lot of lefty icons have bailed on Fix, Wallace, Rivera, lets hope the trend continues.
Where’s Curly?
He can take more nude selfies and post them online now without so much backlash, 😬
Good riddance
That man has been a loser for a long time...at least since the capone vault stupidity.
Fox has been Ryanized and will continue its downfall with Ryan on the board.,,,,Suckers!
You actually care somewhat?
ha ha ha ha ha!!
he should have quit 20 years ago. go hang out in al capones vault or sail off into sunset!
adios jerry rivers!
LEX
So?
I quit Fox sooner than he did.
I remember him on TV back then breathlessly reporting on the latest murder/robbery/accident on the BQE/Grand Central Parkway/LIE etc., wearing a long coat with a fur collar (think of a 1970s pimp) and sporting long hair and a mustache. LOL! I'm sure he thought he was the coolest thing around.
Not a bit.
