Dec 2021

Longtime "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace announced on Sunday that he is leaving the network, saying he wants to pursue opportunities "beyond politics" and later
confirming reports that he is joining CNN's new streaming service.

"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," Wallace said at the end of the program.

"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," he added.

Wallace also said
he wants "to try something new, to go beyond politics to all the things I’m interested in."
"I’m ready for a new adventure," he added. "And I hope you’ll check it out."
