Chris Wallace announces he is leaving Fox News to join CNN streaming service

CNN announced shortly after his show ended that Wallace, who is 74, will join the streaming service CNN+ as an anchor. The service is due to debut sometime next year.

Wallace was a veteran broadcast network newsman, working at both ABC and NBC News, before the late Roger Ailes lured him to Fox with the promise of his own Sunday show.

Wallace is known for his methodical preparation and willingness to ask hard questions of all guests.

Wallace was the first Fox News staffer to moderate a presidential debate, in 2016. His 2020 performance attracted criticism for not reeling in Trump when he broke debate protocols in trying to steamroller Joe Biden.
