Geraldo Rivera spills the dirt on FOX's "The Five" as he leaves the show
For those who think ABC's 'The View' is a 'toxic' show to be part of, Geraldo Reivera has spilled the dirt on the copy-cat FOX show, "The Five". Rivera, a long-time FOX contributor who turns 80 next month, has had a tense relationship for the past few seasons with cohost Greg Guttfeld.
Rivera and Gutfeld had a handful of particularly contentious exchanges. In late April, Rivera told him “stop pointing at me” when they argued over electric vehicles. He called Gutfeld “an arrogant punk” on the air last year during a fight about abortion.
Rivera would not comment directly about Gutfeld.
“There has been a growing tension that goes beyond editorial differences and personal annoyances and gripes,” he said. “It’s not worth it to me.”
Greg Gutfeld, Jesse Watters, Dana Perino and Jeanine Pirro are the regular conservatives. Rivera has rotated as the liberal voice with Jessica Tarlov and Harold Ford Jr., a former congressman from Tennessee.

Growing up, I was floored when it started coming out that Rivera was a voracious pussy-hound.

Rivera was always a jackass.
But he could get it back in the day...

Geraldo Rivera was supposed to be the "liberal" one?

I caught an episode of the show last week, when Trump was arrested on Tuesday. The fighting at the table among the four 'conservative' hosts against the lone liberal host Jessica Tarlov was enough to make 'The View' hosts blush. Jesse Watters made it very 'personal' against Tarlov, and was downright sexist towards her. Nether Pirro nor Perrino had the decency to call him out. Garfield only chimed in with him. He was disgusting. I was wondering why this show didn't make headlines the way 'The View' does every week.
I guess now those days are over with Rivera spilling the tea. It's about time they exposed the tension and truth behind this show.

He looks and performs great for 80. It’s really incredible.

I've always suspected that Gutfeld is gay and closeted, going back to when he was editor of Men's Health.

They discussed this on 'The View' today. They mentioned it's a rip-off of their own show but with unlikeable hosts. Someone mentioned Jeanine Pirro - and one of them said 'oh yeah...we know her' (going back to five years ago when she was a guest on the show and called the ladies 'cocksuckers' off-air.
Whoopi ended the segment with a roll of her eyes and a 'who cares about them?'
