From a Washington Post story by Jeremy Barr headlined “Geraldo Rivera leaves Fox News as only Geraldo could”:

Perhaps only Geraldo Rivera — an accomplished showman as much as a journalist — could have turned his departure from Fox News into a suspenseful, week-long drama.

Rivera, who joined Fox News as a war correspondent in 2001 after a colorful and at times controversial career as a syndicated television host, announced last week that he would soon be leaving the 5 p.m. panel show that he appeared on regularly, “The Five.” It was his choice, he told the AP.
