The left-leaning co-host on “The Five” was known for his blunt and sometimes profane comments. Beckel quietly disappeared from the network Feb 16, with co-host Greg Gutfeld later addressing viewers’ questions about his whereabouts in March by saying he had undergone back surgery.
TV Newser reported in April that Beckel had been admitted to a rehabilitation facility to treat an addiction to pain medication.
“His relapse developed over the last several months as he tried to cope with extensive back pain before and after he underwent major back surgery,” the representative said at the time.

An obnoxious, tactless, boorish, self-serving blowhard. Good riddance. Welcome to MSNBC, Mr. Beckel. Go tell them just how tough you were in school. We've heard about it enough from you.
ReplyDeletegood by , don't let the door hit you in the a$$
ReplyDeletejust another wealthy fat liberal blowhard! glad to see him gone! brought nothing to the show other then showing his own stupidity!
ReplyDeleteBeckel is almost as stupid as Alan Colmes.
ReplyDeleteSince when is cocaine a "pain medication"?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Beckel's perspective and sense of humor. As to Geraldo, sorry FOX, I cannot watch his posturing when he is on. I wish Mr. Beckel success in rehab but do not want his liberal candidates to win.
ReplyDeleteThis guy would constantly "humble-brag" about his drug use in his past, using all kinds of drugs, snorting tons of coke. Then give himself a not-so-veiled pat on the back for his time in rehab. He bragged about this era in his life like it gave him some sort of street cred.
ReplyDeleteFact is, he's just a jerk, with little or no self control.
He added nothing to that show. I'm sure KG is elated that this lecherous, leering slob won't be sitting next to her checking out her cans during the entire show.
Say Hi to Sharpton when MSNBC calls you for a job.
Damn I didn't notice his absense
ReplyDeleteWell, now I can watch Fox again!
ReplyDeleteI hope FOX doesn't sign Geraldo on to replace Bob. I can't stand to watch or listen to Geraldo. I don't care for the right leaning of Bob, however I do hope he gets the medical help he needs to make a complete and stable recovery.
