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.”

Too little, too late.
I agree, although calling her snotty is too nice!
Leaving because no one wants to listen to his nonsense
I agree!
Retire..and hunt for dead Mobsters
I turned Fox (and my TV) off the day they hired Whorealdo. I think it was 2001. Other than turning on a football game for my son to watch at Thanksgiving, the TV hasn’t been on since.
It’s harder and harder to defend the indefensible.
Are you sure it still works?
Was it an early digital set?
Analog broadcasting for the older sets stopped in 2009.
Yes. I only have over-the-air so I had to get a converter box so my son could watch his football games at Thanksgiving. Otherwise, I couldn't get the boy to come. :-)
LOL!!
I’m sure South Park must have had a field day with Geraldo.
Read another article saying he was canceled...he didn’t “quit”
So, you were in the room? Were they speaking in Russian? Otherwise you’d need an English:Orc google translate.
Good Riddance, POS!
Jessica is ANOTHER LYING POS!
BINGO!! Greg gets his well deserved DIGS in and then he LAUGHS a STUPID LAUGH to take the sting out of it.....LEAVE THE STING IN!
Harold Ford is a LIBERAL LIAR! redundant, I know....and Jessica is a Third Class B*TCH!
Anyone with a lick of common sense knows Jerry Rivers is a human tick on the body of MSM. He wouldn’t leave a burning building if there was a camera on his egotistical self. But it’s cute you bought his story. Dopey, but 😊 cute.
Oh no! I let the secret out!!
😁🤣😜
If I recall correctly he called himself Jerry Rivers back about 1968/69 in LA when he was the weather boy on I think it was channel 5.
When the LaRaza thing got big in LA in the early 70’s is when he switched to GERRALDO RIVERAA.
In other words he WHOREALDOED himself for better placement on TV.
I can tolerate opposing opinions, just not the idiots who espouse them.
Harold Ford is tolerable.......
