Former Fox News anchor-turned-CNBC host, Shepard Smith, is out effective immediately at the network.
CNBC confirmed Friday that the "last newscast was Wednesday, November 2," in an update to Thursday's initial announcement.
The network first reported Thursday that Smith would leave CNBC later in the month of November. However, it then quietly updated the announcement, contradicting its initial report and burying the news of the final broadcast.

Well, bye.
Shemp is getting the bum’s rush. Getting the stage hook NOW. Services no longer needed! Get out!

Looks like Shep did not earn enough Intesectional points to survive. G white men are simply old news.
Getting the stage hook NOW.
Hook, line, and sphincter ...

Hissy fit?
Where will we get all our make-up tips from with Shep gone?
He couldn’t deliver the mid-terms for the Dems...
I remember Shepard Smith.
Toodle-oo...
He was too gay for them.
There seems to be a tidal change…winning…
I hear there could be an opening for a janitor at the local gay bath house.
Adios Shemp! Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!
Had to leave early to service his clients. Shep Smith - Male Prostitute.
LOL!
Wonder if there is more to the Story. Like Shemp was trying to dip his pen into someone’s rear ink well?
Shemp was so upset that his waterproof eyeliner ran.
