The Heartbreaking Death Of Fox News Host Bob Beckel

Bob Beckel rose to popularity on the Fox News network from his stint as a co-host on its popular show "The Five" (via USA Today). In addition to providing a unique voice on Fox News, he was also a contributor to USA Today and other political news outlets. 

Before becoming a political media contributor, Beckel worked for former president Jimmy Carter (via The Hill). After leaving the political scene in Washington D.C., Beckel began commentating for CNN before moving to Fox News. He appeared on "The Five" for a while before being let go for personal reasons in 2015. However, he was brought back but "let go again" in 2017 following accusations that he made racist comments to a Black coworker at the network.

Beckel went on to write a book about his life titled "I Should Be Dead: My Life Surviving Politics, TV, and Addiction," which is described as a "deeply moving, redemptive memoir." It was published in 2016 between his two stints on "The Five." Ultimately, coworkers and fans remember him fondly for his contributions to politics at large, both on the screen and off.
