In a surprising development, CNN host Chris Wallace is leaving the network to pursue opportunities on an independent platform, news that broke on Monday.
The 77-year-old journalist discussed his plans in an interview with the Daily Beast, marking the end of his three-year stint with CNN.
Explaining his decision, he shared his interest in exploring streaming or podcasting, saying, according to the outlet, that’s “where the action seems to be.”
Wallace’s departure coincides with the conclusion of his CNN contract, following nearly two decades at Fox News prior to joining CNN.
“This is the first time in 55 years I’ve been between jobs,” he reportedly remarked. “I am actually excited and liberated by that.”
