Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish: George Will Leaves ABC, joins Fox News

Washington Post columnist and long-time ABC News' "This Week" contributor George Will is joining Fox News, the network announced Tuesday, officially ending his 32-year relationship with ABC News.

"We are delighted to have someone of George’s stature join FOX News. His wisdom is enduring and his achievements are far too long to list,” Executive Vice President of News Michael Clemente in a statement.

Will will provide commentary and analysis during its daily programming, including for the panels of "Special Report with Bret Baier" and "Fox News Sunday."

"This Week" host George Stephanopoulos praised Will in a statement.
