After making headlines for his abrupt departure from Fox News, conservative commentator Dan Bongino wasted no time shutting down rumors of a messy falling out. During an episode of his podcast, “The Don Bongino Show,” the former police officer revealed that his exit was “tough.” “You know, I’ve been there doing hits and working there for 10 years … so the show ending was tough,” he explained. The Republican author went on to assure his listeners that there was no “big conspiracy theory” behind his departure. “I promise you. There’s no acrimony. This wasn’t some WWE brawl that happened. We just couldn’t come to terms on an extension,” he said.

The former “Unfiltered with Dan Bongino” host also added that he “really enjoyed” himself at Fox News before stating that they were “good to him for 10 years.” Bongino’s Fox News exit comes a few months after he announced that his aforementioned Cumulus Radio podcast would end once his contract expires. “Today, I announced publically on the air that when my contract was up, I would not be returning,” he said in December 2022 (via Inside Radio). “I’ve got a year and a half left. I’m going to enjoy and savor every minute of it.” Before his announcement, Bongino had made headlines for questioning the media company over its COVID-19 safety mandates.
