Cuomo’s career with CNN ended on December 4, 2021, when Jeff Zucker, the network’s head, chose to end his contract based on proof that he was using his position with CNN to assist his brother Andrew. Ironically, the elder Cuomo was forced to quit as Governor of New York State due to nearly a dozen accusations of sexual harassment against women with whom he worked.
Wallace had been a host for Fox News show for 18 years. He left Fox mere days after Cuomo was fired.
