Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and New York City cop turned conservative talk show host, told his radio listeners Thursday he is leaving Fox News where he had a weekly TV show since June 2021.
Bongino, 48, said his departure is amicable. It comes after Bongino and Fox failed to agree on a contract extension. Bongino's Fox News show "Unfiltered" aired on Saturday nights and was watched by an average of 1.3 million viewers, according to Nielsen.
"I want you to know it's not some big conspiracy, I promise you," Bongino told his listeners. "There's no acrimony. This wasn't some, like, WWE brawl that happened. We just couldn't come to terms on an extension. And that's really it."
