Now who will Sean Hannity walk all over?!
FOX News Channel's (FNC) Alan Colmes will relinquish his role as co-host of Hannity & Colmes at the end of the year.
In announcing his decision, Colmes said, "I approached Bill Shine (FNC's Senior Vice President of Programming) earlier this year about wanting to move on after 12 years to develop new and challenging ways to contribute to the growth of the network. Although it's bittersweet to leave one of the longest marriages on cable news, I'm proud that both Sean (Hannity) and I remained unharmed after sitting side by side, night after night for so many years."
Colmes will continue to have a presence on FNC as he will serve as a liberal commentator on a variety of FOX News programming, including Foxnews.com's The Strategy Room and continue hosting his radio program, The Alan Colmes Show on FOX Talk, a division of FOX News Radio. He will also begin developing a weekend program.
In all seriousness, this is a sad development. Alan Colmes is a good guy, even if he did get overshadowed by the boorish Hannity, and was one of the only effective liberal voices in all of FOXland. Like Nicole, I never watched too much H&C due to blood pressure issues, but the show will be much worse off without him. Best of luck, Alan.
