The liberal voice on “The Five”

He was a co-host of the show with Greg Gutfeld and Dana Perino until he was fired for making an insensitive remark to an African American employee. He previously left the show in 2015 after having back surgery. In between his two stints hosting “The Five,” he was an election commentator for CNN. From 2005 until 2015, he was a columnist for USA Today where he did a point-counterpoint column as the liberal voice with conservative friend Cal Thomas.
