Television veteran Geraldo Rivera says he’s quitting Fox News’ political combat show ‘The Five’

NEW YORK (AP) — Geraldo Rivera has quit as one of the lonely liberal voices on Fox News’ popular political combat show “The Five,” saying Wednesday that “a growing tension that goes beyond editorial differences” made it no longer worth it to him.

The last scheduled appearance on “The Five” for the television veteran, whose 80th birthday is on July 4, is next week.

“It has been a rocky ride but it has also been an exhilarating adventure that spanned quite a few years,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday. “I hope it’s not my last adventure.”

Rivera said that it was his choice to leave “The Five,” but that Fox management “didn’t race after me to say, ‘Geraldo, please come back.’” There was no immediate comment from Fox.

“I’m 80 years old,” he said. “I don’t want the friction. ‘The Five’ is too intimate a place and it gets too personal.”

He said his relationship with his colleagues on “The Five” is “a reflection of what the country is going through. ... It’s not an easy job if you take it as personally as I do.”

Here is a guy whose television career was 25 or 30 years longer than it had any right to be.

LOL

As I recall, Geraldo found some dust or sand - and a Coke bottle or some other soft drink glass bottle

He’s married to a BIG lib who is 32 years younger and wears the pants in the family. He’s pathetic.

They generally make her look the fool she is. Gutfeld noticibly despised Geraldo, constant mocking and yelling at him. It was uncomfortable.

Here's hoping he takes that intolerable Jessica Tarlov and her fake smart glasses with him......

He's not a regular anyway, he's just a part time guest and his liberal arguments aren't tolerated by Jesse Waters and Judge Pirro who are quick to put him in his place.

Watch this fake move on to friendlier pastures with CNN or one of those other leftist cable outlets......

Yep, and he drives a Bentley, and says so on every show.

Oops.......

No suprise as the liberals on that show are becoming increasingly mocked and shamed. They have no credible answers to obvious criticisms of Biden, Democrats, FBI, DOJ, etc.

Maybe whorealdo Jerry Rivers (a very non-hispanic person btw)... can go look up Jacob Javit’s wife (though she’s prob. dead) for another humping session— sarc/ This clown is a waste of protoplasm— like some kind of bad plumber’s assistant (which in retrospect demeans good working people). Full of crap, and Hannity the spreader could have him on— like some kind of new Alan Colmes, but a far more stupid person than Colmes.

What this clown is realizing is that his counterparts tolerate him in respect but NOT any of his “views”- whereas he, tolerates neither them or their views, a very odd man out.
