Shepard Smith is stepping down from Fox News, the network announced on Friday. Friday’s showing of Shepard Smith Reporting was his last and will be temporarily replaced by a series of rotating anchors until a new dayside news program is announced.

A native of Holly Springs, Mississippi, Smith, 55, joined Fox News at its inception in 1996 after beginning his television career a decade earlier at WJHG-TV in Panama City Beach, Florida.
