After his high-profile exit from Fox News, Geraldo Rivera has a new cable news home. He has joined NewsNation as a correspondent at large.
The network announced Wednesday that Rivera will appear across its daytime and primetime programming, with his first appearance coming on CUOMO Wednesday evening.
“Geraldo is a legendary journalist whose talent and experience is unrivaled in the industry,” said Michael Corn, President of News at NewsNation. “We look forward to him joining the network and providing our viewers with his one-of-a-kind analysis.”
After joining Fox News in 2001, Rivera departed the network last year after a public spat with network star Greg Gutfeld. Rivera claims he was “muzzled” by the network in favor of Gutfeld on The Five. He added he had a “very toxic relationship” with the late-night host.
Prior to Fox News, Rivera worked at ABC News as an original anchor of Good Morning America and was an original reporter on 20/20. He then hosted the syndicated talk show The Geraldo Rivera Show from 1987-1998 before ultimately joining Fox News.
After his exit from the cable news giant, Rivera admitted joining CNN would be a good destination for him. At the time, he said he had “no formal discussions” with CNN about joining the network.
