Chris Wallace Departs FOX News Media

Dec. 12, 2021

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 12, 2021--December 12, 2021

Statement from FOX News Media:

"We are extremely proud of our journalism and the stellar team that Chris Wallace was a part of for 18 years. The legacy of FOX News Sunday will continue with our star journalists, many of whom will rotate in the position until a permanent host is named."

Statement from Chris Wallace as Aired This Morning on His Final FOX News Sunday:

"After 18 years - this is my final FOX News Sunday. It is the last time - and I say this with real sadness - we will meet like this. Eighteen years ago, the bosses here at Fox promised me they would never interfere with a guest I booked or a question I asked. And they kept that promise. I have been free to report to the best of my ability, to cover the stories I think are important, to hold our country's leaders to account. It's been a great ride. We've covered five presidential elections, interviewed every president since George H.W. Bush, travelled the world - sitting down with France's Emanuel Macron and Russia's Vladimir Putin. And I've gotten to spend Sunday mornings with you. It may sound corny, but I feel we've built a community here. There's a lot you can do on Sunday mornings. The fact you've chosen to spend this hour with us is something I cherish. But after 18 years, I have decided to leave Fox. I want to try something new, to go beyond politics to all the things I'm interested in. I'm ready for a new adventure. And I hope you'll check it out. And so -for the last time, dear friends - that's it for today. Have a great week. And I hope you'll keep watching FOX News Sunday."
