Fox News Drops ‘The Five’ Co-Host Bob Beckel
Deadline
Dominic Patten
June 25, 2015

Over four months after he last appeared on the cable news network, Bob Beckel has officially been let go by Fox News Channel. “We tried to work with Bob for months, but we couldn’t hold The Five hostage to one man’s personal issues,” said Bill Shine FNC EVP Programming in a statement today. “He took tremendous advantage of our generosity, empathy and goodwill and we simply came to the end of the road with him. Juan Williams and Geraldo Rivera will be among those rotating on the show for the near future.”

Beckel had been with FNC since 2000 when he signed on as a contributor. He was one of the original co-hosts of the highly rated The Five since it debuted in the summer of 2011.

The former Mondale ’84 campaign manager had last been on-air back on February 16. In addition to having had back surgery, Beckel’s absence was also out of a need to seek treatment for prescription medication use. “FNC tried to carry Beckel through his personal issues and wanted him to get the help he needed,” a source told me Wednesday.

Whoops! I gone done it again. This thread would be made betterer in the P&R Section.

I have a confession to make.....I often watch The Five. Most of the time it's on mute but the only reason I watch is for Kimberly Guilfoyle. I'm sure I'm not the only one

The only way to deal with Guilfoyle is with the mute button. She can be flipped at MSNBC as easy as Roger Ailes can roll her on her belly at Fox. Now Andrea Tanteros can invite me into Greece anytime.

Yeah Dino, I don't think a thread on Bob is gonna generate much interest in this section. Most will probably think he is a thoroughbred trainer or former Fleetwood Mac guitarist that embarked on a solo career.

Now I am gonna hear Ebony Eyes running through my head all day.

Bob Welch was a pretty good pitcher too.

Dunno but I found a few more.

Different ones.

No biggie, sometimes you just gotta say
