Sean Spicer has wrapped up his nightly Newsmax show Spicer & Co. after three years.
Spicer, Donald Trump’s first White House press secretary, said it was “an honor to be part of the Newsmax team and I’m grateful for my time there. With all of this under my belt, it’s time for me to move on – a new challenge, a new adventure and a new opportunity to serve the American people.”
Mediaite reported that Spicer decided to leave the network after negotiations for a new contract fell through. Co-host Lyndsay Keith left last month.
A spokesperson for Newsmax said: “In preparation for new programmes, we have decided not to proceed Spicer & Co. with hosts Lyndsay Keith and Sean Spicer. The network wishes them both the best in their new ventures.”
The program started in March 2020. After his stay in the White House, Spicer was, among other things, a correspondent for In addition and was a candidate for it Dancing with the stars.
Last month, Newsmax unleashed a high-profile battle with DirecTV. After the satellite service dropped the conservative channel, a number of Republican lawmakers came to its defense, condemning the move as a de-platforming of a right-wing voice. But DirecTV said it was a carrier dispute — not uncommon in the multichannel world — after Newsmax asked for “significant fees.”
Spicer is one of several former White House press secretaries who have appeared on television. Former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki recently started a Sunday show on MSNBC, and Kayleigh McEnany, who later served in the Trump administration, was a co-host in minority on Fox News.
