An on-air regular at Fox News Channel is working his way back into the lineup. TVNewser reports that Gregg Jarrett, who has been off the air since he checked himself into alcohol rehab earlier this year, is attempting to make his return.
I wish Greg all the best.
Likewise.
Everyone deserves a new day. Now he and Beckel have something in common.
Me too. I wish him the best. I liked Greg and he did a good job. Hope he gets the breaks he is looking for.
I don’t know what an anchor eye is, but I’m glad they have rehab for them.
Agree 100%. Jarrett was one of their best anchors and frankly I always wished they would give him more duty. I think he’s one of many CNN refugees at FNC.
Me too. I always liked him.
No reason he should not return.
Me too, booze is one hell of a thing to kick. It truly is the Devils urine. What saved me is moving back with my parents who absolutely refused to have any booze in the house, had me sleep in the room next to them so I couldn’t sneak it and giving my life to Christ. It took about 2 years to get it all out of my system until I could move out and live independent, but if it wasn’t for them without one single solitary doubt in my mind I would have been dead. Every single day I was drinking to the point where I was bleeding internally. They gave me life and they saved my life. Alcoholism runs in my family, my cousin died from it at the very young age of 40 so did my Grandfather at 53.
WXYZ's Dave Rexroth lost his eye this summer due to a fireworks accident and I'm glad to see he has finally returned.........
As a side note, I hate fireworks for exactly that reason.........
But you can understand Jarrett when you speaks.
Aye aye. Sir!
(Ai ai ai!)
Best of luck with your comeback, Greg, and with your continued sobriety. You’ve been missed.
Popeye The Sailor was perhaps the most prominent victim of Anchor Eye.
He was able to turn this disability into an advantage but many others will never be so lucky.
You should donate, redeem yourself.
The older I get, the more forgiving I get when it comes to people owning up to their problems and trying to get back on track.
I’m not a big fan of of allowing just anyone with a felony conviction to return to normal life as if nothing happened though.
Some things we do in life leave a mark. We made our choice and it costs us.
I wish him the best also, he’s a good anchor.
A prayer for Gregg’s strength and return.
Been watching him since his days at Court TV. I wish him well.
Well put and congratulations. I lived in a recovery house after treatment it took a long time to be able to function without the alcohol again but it was worth making getting sober the top priority. :)
Fox News deserves credit for apparently offering Greg Jarrett a chance to resurrect his career. Similarly, through the intervention of conservative Christian commentator Cal Thomas, Fox News employed liberal Democrat curmudgeon Bob Beckel after his media career and marriage imploded due to substance abuse. On the whole, charity and compassion for those who fall seems to have a more secure place among conservatives than among liberals.
