Juan Williams announces he's leaving 'The Five'
By Jordan Williams - 05/26/21 06:59 PM EDT



Juan Williams, liberal co-host of Fox News’s “The Five,” announced on Wednesday that he is leaving the show.

Williams, who is also a columnist for The Hill, made the announcement during the “One More Thing” segment of the show. He said he decided to stay in Washington, D.C., when the show resumes filming at its studio at Fox News Media’s headquarters in New York City.

The Five is set to begin filming from headquarters again on June 1.

“COVID taught me a lot of lessons. As the show goes back to the New York studio, I’ll be staying in D.C.,” Williams said.

Williams's last day at the show was Wednesday. He said he will continue to be a Fox News political analyst and will be working for the network from D.C.

“You know, it’s been going on seven years since I have been a daily host of this show,” Williams said. “The show’s popularity has grown every single year, so thank you. Thank you so much to you, the viewers. Thank you.”

Megan Albano, vice president of "The Five" and weekend programming, confirmed in a statement to The Hill that Williams left to stay closer to family.

"As Juan Williams announced on air today, he will be leaving The Five to live in Washington, DC full time. We are incredibly grateful for his commitment to the show and its success over the last several years," Albano said.

I've never watched "The Five".

Whom are they going to get to be the show imbecile now, day in and day out? One tough gig.

His condescending smirk and snark will not be missed.

Well, there's an ample supply of those people on the left.

Yes, but very few who mind being exposed to the opinions of a normal mind. On TV.

Yes, will be interesting to see what variety of idiot they come up with.

And on a news channel that people actually watch.

It has been on Fox forever.  Have not watched it in a "very" long time but when I saw it numerous times in the past, the Fox women wore rather short skirts and high heels.  To me, it was more of a comic show discussing political matters.  Juan was the token liberal and not too bright.

Same. I don't watch FOX News at all except maybe once a week, I remember that Tucker Carlson is on, and catch part of his show. The rest of the FOX stable of pundits is a complete unknown to me.

Same here.  Of course Hannity is well known but  is our side's version of the MSNBC ilk. An embarassment.

Usually Rivera is the replacement simp, so maybe he'll take the chair.  That would mark the end of my watching.  I could stand Juan because he is, as has been observed, stupid.  Rivera is a liar in addition to being a foole.

Geraldo's contirbution to "The Five" will be about as fullfilling as Capone's Vault

Oh no, is that their replacement? Fox acts like they signed these guys to a multi-year contract, and so their doggedly insistent on trying to get value out of them, even though they suck. Same thing applies to Donna Brazille.

It will probably be either Rivera or Brazille.

   @libertybele  @Victoria33 They had a special name and purpose for that end chair with the short skirt and heels but I forgot what it was called, also

FTA:

Williams is a lot like Geraldo Rivera in that I simply don’t see the point. Neither offer thoughtful analysis, both clearly being past their prime.

   This guy never passed his prime.

I always called it "the leg chair."  Dana Perino refused to sit in it.

Yes. Those short skirts are a real thing on Fox. At least it used to be back when I watched it.
Some of those Fox women take their fashion advice from the original Star Trek.

I've seen a lot of Fox women where the skirt was so short, you could just tell their panties (or bikini bottoms really) are sitting directly on the cushion.

The wife stopped watching The Five because Williams was too obnoxious for her. As a certified male sexist pig I preferred ex-Obama spokeswoman Marie Harf. She was/is as brain dead as Juan, but a lot easier on the eyes.

Whoraldo was on yesterday.
