Rise to Prominence

All of these successful endeavors and achievements earned him a chance to launch a career on television. He received an offer to work for the CBS which he accepted, and as he became more popular, earned a chance to host his own show on CBS entitled “Fast Money”; however, he left CBS for the Fox News in 2008, as it gave him more freedom and exposure. Firstly, he was a host of the business show “Happy Hour”, but as his experience with Fox News grew, he was more involved in the program. In 2011 he became a co-host of the talk show “The Five”, along with colleagues Kimberly Guilfoyle, Dana Perino, Greg Gutfeld and Juan Williams. Furthermore, Bolling was a host of the Fox Business Channel news program “Cashin in”, succeeding Cheryl Casone in that position; this promotion also benefited his net worth. While he was working for Fox, Eric contributed to other shows such as “The O`Reilly Factor”, “Hannity” and also “The Glenn Beck Show”. His stint on Fox came to an end in May 2017.

  1. Just heard that Eric’s wife is Jewish. He’s a very serious Catholic, going to Mass every day. And they survived their marriage after the tragic death of their only child. Incredible. He’s a real good man.
