Juan Williams said on Wednesday that he is leaving Fox News’ early evening panel show The Five, but he will continue to be a political analyst on the network.
“This is my last day hosting The Five,” Williams said on the show. “Covid taught me a lot of lessons. As the show goes back to the New York studio, I will be staying in D.C. I will be working for Fox out of Washington. My work as a Fox News political analyst will continue.”
Williams has been a host of the show for almost seven years, as the liberal voice among the four other panelists. The show is top in its time slot against other cable news rivals.
Williams tested positive for Covid-19 in December, and the show went back to a remote format. But it’s preparing to go back to the format in which all hosts are in studio, which would mean that Williams would have to return to commuting from D.C. to New York.
Fox News plans to feature a rotating series of liberal cohosts on the show until a permanent liberal replacement is named.
More to come.
