Geraldo Rivera made his last appearance on Fox News Channel Friday morning as the hosts of 'Fox & Friends' saluted his legendary career.
From the front lines to natural disasters to social unrest, Geraldo Rivera reflects on his over 50-year career."Fox & Friends" co-hostcalled for everyone in the building to give Rivera a standing ovation as he announced the longtime Fox News personality.
Rivera, who has more than 50 years of experience as a broadcaster, joined Fox News Channel as a war correspondent in 2001 and recently served as co-host of cable news’ most-watched program "The Five." The"FOX & Friends" highlight reel of Rivera's career featured footage of the iconic newsman with everyone from a young Arnold Schwarzenegger, Paul McCartney, Muhammad Ali and even a shirtless segment with George Hamilton.
"From the times you were on the frontline in Afghanistan, to some of those handoffs from ‘The Five,’ and always seeing pictures of your family, I wish you the best," Baier said."Stay in touch, I’ll see you down the road." Before joining"The Five," he was a correspondent-at-large for Fox News Channel, where he provided live coverage and commentary on breaking news stories, including terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and other historic events. Rivera’s career took a turn following the attacks of September 11, 2001, when the native New Yorker walked away from a high-paying CNBC gig and joined Fox News because he wanted to work as a war correspondent.
"In the words of Jerry Garcia, it’s been a long strange ride," Rivera, who never made an appearance without his trademark mustache over five decades, said at the time.
