Chris Wallace signed off from his Fox News show Sunday morning with the announcement that it would be his last after 18 years on the network. "This is my final 'Fox News Sunday,' " Wallace, 74, told viewers at the end of his weekly news show. "It is the last time – and I say this with real sadness – we will meet like this." Fox News confirmed his departure to USA TODAY, noting that a rotating cast of anchors will fill in for his time slot until a permanent replacement is announced. "Eighteen years ago, the bosses here at Fox promised me they would never interfere with a guest I booked or a question I asked," Wallace said. "And they kept that promise. I have been free to report to the best of my ability, to cover the stories I think are important, to hold our country’s leaders to account. It’s been a great ride." Chris Wallace was a White House correspondent with NBC in the 1980s and he left ABC News in 2003 for his own Sunday show at Fox. The network's statement said it is "extremely proud of our journalism and the stellar team that Chris Wallace was a part of for 18 years. The legacy of Fox News Sunday will continue with our star journalists, many of whom will rotate in the position until a permanent host is named.” Photo by @gettyimages. Sotry by Hannah Yasharoff.
