Geraldo Rivera is taking partial accountability for the role he played in bolstering public suspicion that John and Patsy Ramsey were responsible for the 1996 murder of their 6-year-old daughter, JonBenét.

John and Rivera appeared live together, via Zoom, on Monday night for a NewsNation segment facilitated by host Chris Cuomo (below) following the Nov. 25 release of the three-part Netflix docuseries Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey. Episode two of Joe Berlinger’s docuseries revisited the memorable mock trial that played out on The Geraldo Rivera Show in 1997, where Rivera asked a volunteer jury of six men and women to “rule” on the likelihood that John and/or Patsy allegedly murdered their daughter. Testimonies pointed to what were deemed to be sexually suggestive photos and videos of JonBenét as unsubstantiated proof that she was an abused child, resulting in a mock verdict that found Patsy liable for her death.

Quick Links What Is The Manhattan Alien Abduction About? Old Grudges and Conflicts of Interest Strain Credulity in Netflix's Docuseries Why The Manhattan Project Is Polarizing, Explained

The Manhattan Alien Abduction debuted on October 30, 2024, instantly soaring atop Netflix's most-watched new TV shows. The docuseries retraces the time a woman named Linda Napolitano was allegedly abducted by aliens from her apartment window in 1989. Pushing back on Linda's testimony is renowned skeptic Carol Rainey, whose husband and paranormal investigator Budd Hopkins becomes consumed by Linda's case.

Despite shooting to the top of the Netflix TV charts upon its premiere, The Manhattan Alien Abduction has polarized viewers regarding Linda's account. Viewers either tend to side with Linda and believe her account or disbelieve her testimony and side with Carol. With zero persuasion toward the middle ground, it's worth wondering why such a show was made beyond reinforcing confirmation bias. More curious yet,...

Although Beverly Hills brothers Lyle and Eric Menendez didn’t get away with the murder of their mother and father, it was a perfect crime in one respect: it set the stage for the last three decades of our current media obsession with sensational true crime stories.

The twisting, turning saga of the patricidal siblings – who were convicted of the 1989 shotgun slaying of their parents, film executive Jose Menendez and his wife Kitty in 1996 after one of the most highly public trials of the 20th Century – is revisited in Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series, “Monsters: The Lyle and Eric Menendez Story.”

And while the Netflix series has stirred controversy with its interpretation of events, that very contention serves as a potent reminder of just how deeply the brothers’ journey through the justice system dominated the cultural conversation of its time, and in doing so created an infrastructure built to effectively deliver all sorts of lurid,...

The best 90s talk shows were a mix of tabloid drama and informative content, with some shows focusing on relationships and family issues. Shows like The Jerry Springer Show and Geraldo pushed the boundaries of controversy with outrageous content and brawls. Other shows like Leeza and The Oprah Winfrey Show provided a more inspirational and informative angle, discussing important topics and featuring notable guests.

The best 90s talk shows are usually considered tabloid shows, full of drama and outrageous confrontations — but not all of them follow this formula. The '90s was a decade that brought some of the most entertaining daytime talk shows, from the outlandish like The Jerry Springer Show to tabloid talk shows like Geraldo. The shows ran the gamut and included some big names in the business who went on to accomplish tremendous fame beyond the hosting circuit, along with others who wound down their on-screen...

Geraldo Rivera’s 22-year run at Fox News appears to be coming to an end.

On Thursday afternoon, Rivera posted a video to his Twitter account filmed on a boat off the coast of Jones Beach in Long Island. In the video he told viewers, “I’ve been fired from The Five, and as a result of that I quit Fox.”

He added that he would elaborate on that decision on Fox & Friends on Friday morning.

Rivera said earlier this month that he was going to leave the 5 p.m. panel show, where he has been a regular panelist since last year. He had been expected to appear on Thursday’s episode.

“It’s been a great run and I appreciate having had the opportunity,” Rivera wrote at the time. “Being odd man out isn’t always easy. For the time being, I’m still Correspondent at Large.”

His video...

With his relationship with Fox News apparently souring, Geraldo Rivera is thinking about retirement, and said he will announce his next career move in a week on Twitter and “The Five,” the show he will exit next week.

Rivera posted on Twitter Friday that he had spoken to Brian Kilmeade on his Wabc radio show and said, “I am unsure about my next career move & will announce next Friday here on Twitter & Live on @TheFive whether I stay with Fox or do something else, with your support.”

The correspondent for the conservative news network, who was recruited by founder Roger Ailes in 2001, said June 30 will be his last appearance on the talk show.

While the post generated a few inevitable references to his ill-fated 1986 live excavation of Al Capone’s vault, most of the comments were positive.

Some followers suggested that the social media platform may be all the veteran journalist needs.

After a year and a half of sitting in with The Five, Fox News Correspondent Geraldo Rivera is officially leaving the program.

The co-host broke the news himself on Twitter Wednesday writing, “I’m off @TheFive. My last scheduled show appearances are Thursday and Friday, June 29th and 30th. It’s been a great run and I appreciate having had the opportunity. Being odd man out isn’t always easy.”

It’s been just a few hours since Steve Wilkos found out about the death of Jerry Springer and he’s still in shock that the man who changed his life is gone. While reflecting on Springer’s legacy, Wilkos tells Et that their get-together about a month ago now all makes sense. Wilkos says Springer was saying “goodbye” without officially saying goodbye.

Wilkos, a longtime fixture on “The Jerry Springer Show” as head of security before his own spinoff show, spoke to Et’s Kevin Frazier and recalled that fateful afternoon when he said Springer called him about getting together for cigars. The former Chicago police officer had just gotten done taping his show, “The Steve Wilkos Show” (now in its 15th season) and he was tired, but he couldn’t say no to the man who had such an impact on his life.

“I really didn’t want to go,...

Jerry Springer, the former Cincinnati news anchor and mayor who came to preside over the controversial and extremely profitable talk show bearing his name, has died. He was 79.

According to NBC affiliate Wlwt, where he once worked as a news anchor, Springer died peacefully Thursday at his home in the Chicago suburbs.

“The Jerry Springer Show” began its multi-decade run in 1991 and, in 1998 at the height of its popularity, beat “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in the ratings, drawing 12 million viewers.

Like Geraldo Rivera, Springer signed on for a show that he thought seemed like the logical next step in his journalism career — a show not unlike “Donahue” that would take a serious look at a variety of important issues. But as with “Geraldo,” the pressure to score big in the ratings pretty quickly meant appealing to the lowest common denominator — Springer and his new producer, Richard Dominick, who’d worked at the Weekly World News,...

The best daytime talk shows of the '90s are usually considered tabloid shows, full of drama and outrageous confrontations — but not all of them follow this formula. The '90s was a decade that brought some of the most entertaining daytime talk shows, from the outlandish like The Jerry Springer Show to tabloid talk shows like Geraldo. The shows ran the gamut and included some big names in the business who went on to accomplish tremendous fame beyond the hosting circuit, along with others who wound down their on-screen time once the decade was over.

That being said, there are a few that stand out as being the best daytime talk shows of the '90s. What makes most of the shows so entertaining is the fact that they are very much a product of their time, presenting content that is highly offensive and completely out of left field by today's standards.

Geraldo Rivera said that he is considering running the open U.S. Senate in Ohio seat being vacated by Rob Portman.

He wrote on Twitter on Wednesday, “Pondering running for retiring @senrobportman seat in United States Senate. #GoBuckeyes.”

Of course, there is a big difference between saying you are considering running for office and actually filing the paperwork, doing the organizing and hiring staff.

Rivera told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that he plans to travel the state on a listening tour in the coming weeks to get feedback. Rivera, 77, is a longtime TV personality and talk host, and has appeared frequently on Fox News shows like The Five. He also hosts the radio show Geraldo in Cleveland.

Although Rivera said that he is a friend of Donald Trump, he was highly critical of Trump’s actions following the election.

“However, I think President Trump is not only redeemable, but he...

News reporter Geraldo Rivera says he’s sorry for allegedly groping screen and stage star Bette Midler in the 1970s, though he is not admitting to sexual misconduct.

“Although I recall the time @BetteMidler has alluded to much differently than she, that does not change the fact that she has a right to speak out & demand an apology from me, for in the very least, publically embarrassing her all those years ago. Bette, I apologize,” he tweeted Friday — one day after Midler, 72, called him out on Twitter.

Video of Midler recounting the alleged incident to Barbara Walters in a 1991 interview resurfaced after Rivera,...

Bette Midler is still waiting on an apology. 

The 71-year-old actress took to Twitter on Thursday to call out Geraldo Rivera for allegedly groping her in the early '70s. 

"Tomorrow is my birthday. I feel like this video was a gift from the universe to me," she tweeted alongside a clip from a 1991 interview with Barbara Walters. "Geraldo may have apologized for his tweets supporting Matt Lauer, but he has yet to apologize for this. #MeToo." 

Rivera apologized on Wednesday afternoon after tweeting that sexual harassment allegations should me made in a timely fashion, require corroboration and that financial settlements push victims to be motivated by "more than justice." 

In Midler's 1991 sit-down with Walters, the actress claimed that she was sexually assaulted by Rivera and his producer before an interview.

The resurfacing of a 1991 video clip of Bette Midler telling Barbara Walters that she’d once been groped by Geraldo Rivera is like “a gift from the universe,” Midler tweeted today. “Tomorrow is my birthday,” said Broadway’s Hello, Dolly! star. “I feel like this video was a gift from the universe to me.

Bette Midler is demanding an apology from Fox News contributor Geraldo Rivera after video re-surfaced of the veteran singer and actress telling Barbara Walters in 1991 that Rivera and a producer “groped” and drugged her in a bathroom in the 1970s. “Tomorrow is my birthday. I feel like this video was a gift from the universe to me,” Midler tweeted on Thursday. “Geraldo may have apologized for his tweets supporting Matt Lauer, but he has yet to apologize for this. #MeToo” Tomorrow is my birthday.

Bette Midler says Geraldo Rivera has “yet to apologize” for allegedly groping her in the 1970s.

The 71-year-old singer spoke out about the veteran journalist on Twitter on Thursday after a video of a 1991 interview Midler did with Barbara Walters — where she first recounted the incident — resurfaced online.

It had gained traction because Rivera defended Today show anchor Matt Lauer, who was fired for alleged sexually inappropriate behavior.

“Tomorrow is my birthday. I feel like this video was a gift from the universe to me,” Midler wrote in a tweet that accompanied the video of her Walters interview. “Geraldo may...

Geraldo Rivera was faced with some backlash when he tweeted about Matt Lauer being fired from the Today show over allegations of sexual harassment.

"Sad about @MLauer -- great guy, highly skilled and empathetic with guests and a real gentleman to my family and me," he tweeted on Wednesday after news broke of Lauer's termination. "News is a flirty business and it seems like current epidemic of #SexHarassmentAllegations may be criminalizing courtship & conflating it w predation."

He then called out Minnesota Public Radio personality Garrison Keillor, who was also fired over sexual misconduct allegations. "What about #GarrisonKeillor?" Rivera wrote.

The Fox News host continued to share his views on sexual harassment allegations, adding: "A jerk's a jerk in dating. #SexHarassment should be confined to situations where superior imposes himself on subordinate who feels unable to complain because of power of perp or feared consequences to victim's employment. Shouldn't be used to get even with bad bosses or hated exes...

A 1991 video interview between Bette Midler and Barbara Walters is going viral in the wake of the Matt Lauer sexual harassment scandal. In the video clip, Midler says that reporter Geraldo Rivera drugged and groped her in the 1970s when they first met.

“Geraldo and his producer came to do an interview with me, in the ‘70s, in the early ‘70s. This was when he was very hot,” Midler told Walters. “He and his producer left the crew in the other room, they pushed me into my bathroom, they pushed two poppers under my nose, and proceeded to grope me…I did not offer myself up on the altar of Geraldo Rivera. He was unseemly.”

Midler revealed the alleged encounter after Walters asked her about Rivera’s autobiography, “Exposing Myself,...

Bette Midler once told Barbara Walters that Geraldo Rivera had groped her in the 1970s.

A video of the 1991 interview resurfaced Wednesday after Rivera defended Today show anchor Matt Lauer who was fired for alleged sexually inappropriate behavior.

A&e Network has ordered Cultureshock, an eight-hour original pop culture-focused docuseries, from Morgan Spurlock and his Warrior Poets and Time Inc.’s Entertainment Weekly, for premiere in 2018.

Cultureshock looks at the untold stories behind watershed moments in pop culture according to producers. Each episode will be helmed by a noted director, including Spurlock (Morgan Spurlock Inside Man), W. Kamau Bell (United Shades of America) and Brent Hodge (I Am Chris Farley).

Bell looks at Chris Rock and how he changed the face of comedy with his seminal 1996 comedy special Bring the Pain.

Hodge helms a profile of the cult classic series, Freaks and Geeks, which was cancelled after one season. Created by Paul Feig and executive produced by Judd Apatow, the series launched the careers of James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, among others.

HBO’s “Last Week Tonight” host John Oliver ripped Geraldo Rivera on Sunday night, saying, “F–k you Geraldo, I hope your mustache gets caught in a box fan.” Last week, the U.S. Military dropped the “mother of all bombs” on Afghanistan and Fox News turned it into a celebratory music video complete with Toby Keith singing “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue” over footage of the attack. “One of my favorite things in 16 years at Fox News is watching bombs drop on bad guys,” Rivera said as the “Fox & Friends” segment wrapped up.

Rachel Maddow’s surprise announcement Tuesday night that she would be broadcasting portions of President Donald Trump‘s tax returns created a frenzy on social media.

But by the time The Rachel Maddow Show aired, reaction was mixed. Many liberals were disappointed that Maddow only had two pages of the billionaire businessman’s taxes from 2005 – and no bombshell.

Conservatives – including the president’s son Donald Trump Jr. – crowed that the documents showed Trump paid $38 million on $150 million in revenue, seemingly refuting claims that he dodged taxes.

Kal Penn got bored and changed the channel to Real Housewives of Beverley Hills.

If you’re coming out and you want the world to know, the flashiest way to do it (short of a show tune soliloquy) is to make a movie. Or, more realistically, a web series.

National Coming Out Day is observed on October 11th, the anniversary of the second March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, often referred to as “The Great March.” It is a celebration of what its founders called the most basic form of activism; standing up and being counted. On this day in 1991, “Bewitched” actor Dick Sargent came out on “The Geraldo Rivera Show.” This year, Kristen Stewart, Aubrey Plaza, Lilly Wachowski, Robin Lord Taylor and Holland Taylor all came out as some iteration of Lgbtq.

Greta Van Susteren is leaving Fox News Channel after 14 years, People has confirmed.

In the wake of Van Susteren's departure, which Fox News announced on Tuesday, senior political analyst Brit Hume will take over as host of On the Record, which the former has helmed since its inception in 2002.

"We are grateful for Greta's many contributions over the years and wish her continued success," the network's co-presidents Jack Abernethy and Bill Shine said in a statement.

No specific reason has been given for Van Susteren's departure, but a source close to the situation tells People that it stemmed from a financial disagreement.

It’s time to give Dancing With the Stars credit where it’s due.

A few months back, as I compiled my gallery of Season 22 odds, I found it difficult to suppress my scoffs as I scrolled through a seemingly dismal lineup of celebrities. From Geraldo Rivera to Doug Flutie, it seemed as though the Season 22 roster was the ABC series’ least impressive yet, resulting in a general feeling of “meh” as the premiere approached.

Now, to be fair, Geraldo had no business stepping even his pinky toe on the ballroom floor, and Doug — though he exhibited great sportsmanship — was...

Dancing  With the Stars' viewers message to Geraldo Rivera on Monday night: You're fired. The 72-year-old Fox News host had the unfortunate distinction of being the first celebrity eliminated during season 22...and he was eliminated while dressed as presidential nominee Donald Trump, wig and all. (His pro partner Edyta Sliwinska was dressed as Trump's wife, Melania.) His stance? To make dance great again, which unfortunately didn't happen, as he landed just 13 points from the judges. During the package before his performance, Geraldo said he was friends with the politician, who fired the TV personality when he was on Celebrity Apprentice, and thought he would "get a kick" out of...

Too bad so sad. That's our slightly sarcastic reaction to tonight's Dancing with the Stars elimination. We were neither surprised nor really that upset to see Geraldo Rivera and partner Edyta Sliwinska sent home after two disastrous attempts at dancing (on Geraldo's part). We don't feel bad saying that, because he knew it himself. "I would have demanded a recount," he said of the alternate universe in which he was not sent home. Hopefully, the fact that we won't have to see him on the dance floor again will help us erase the image of him dressed as Donald Trump, because that's how he decided to celebrate Latin night. We'd prefer to pretend it never happened, and we will...

Well, here we are again, Dancing With the Stars.

It seems every season, we go through the same routine: The premiere is jam-packed with high-energy, enthusiastic routines, likely prompting Carrie Ann Inaba to say something like, “I love this season!” or “Season X is going to be amazing!”

And then, Week 2 happens. And that means Latin Night happens.
