‘This Is It, the Final Segment’: Neil Cavuto Announces He’s Leaving Fox After 28 Years
EXCERPT:
CAVUTO: “This is it, the final segment. But today I also wanted to let you know this is my final show. I am leaving Fox. I’ve been planning this day for some time. This just seemed like a good time. Now, some of you might be thinking, well, Neil, it is about time. After all, I’ve been doing this for nearly three decades here. You know, there are people working with me now who weren’t even born when I started at Fox. That’s how old I am. But I’m not leaving journalism. I’m just leaving here. But I’m forever grateful to my bosses here. They’ve been very good to me these many years and offered a very generous opportunity for me to stay years more. That’s pretty amazing, considering the fact that, I don’t know, I might have missed a day or two here and there battling everything from multiple sclerosis and Covid to countless infections, even open heart surgery. Then there were all of those awful series of hangnails. Don’t get me started on that one. I might have been unlucky in health, but very lucky for the support I got here and the things I got to do here because I got to do what I love to do. Report the news, not shout the news, not blast the news and not, well, call names. Just call balls and strikes.”
