Chris Wallace announced he’s leaving CNN after three years and looking for independent platforms like streaming or podcasting for his next job amid reports of layoffs coming to the network for many of its biggest stars.
Speaking with The Daily Beast, the 77-year-old broadcaster said that he has “nothing but positive things to say. CNN has been very good to me. This is the first time in 55 years I‘ve been between jobs.”
“I am actually excited and liberated by that,” Wallace said, noting that podcasting is “where the action seems to be.”
“Not knowing is part of the challenge,” he added. “I‘m waiting to see what comes over the transom. It might be something that I haven’t thought of at all.”
Wallace’s career spans several networks over half a century, including his previous stop at Fox News for 18 years, The Hollywood Reporter noted.
