Geraldo Rivera Biography

An attorney by training Mr. Rivera applies his legal and political analyses to today’s most pressing issues with a well-respected thoughtful assertiveness.
Geraldo Rivera joined Fox News Channel in November 2001 as a war correspondent. He is currently stationed in Afghanistan covering Operation Enduring Freedom.
Rivera began his news career in 1970 when he joined New York's WABC-TV as a reporter for Eyewitness News. In 1972 he presented a series of ten investigative reports exposing deplorable conditions at the Willowbrook State School for the Mentally Ill. This award-winning report led to a government investigation court intervention and the subsequent closing of much of the institution.
From 1974 - 1976 he hosted Good Night America on ABC (where he secured and presented the first television broadcast of the now-famous Abraham Zapruder film of the assassination of President John Kennedy) and later joined that network's entertainment division reporting for Good Morning America. In 1978 he began what would become a seven-year association with the ABC Newsmagazine 20/20. (One of the stories he produced The Elvis Cover-up became 20/20's highest rated segment ever). He then left ABC to form the Investigative News Group for the purpose of producing a series of live specials and in 1997 in association with Tribune Entertainment produced his own talk show Geraldo. From 1991-1992 Rivera also hosted Now It Can Be Told a nationally syndicated primetime investigative news show. After eleven successful seasons The Geraldo Rivera Show (as it was later renamed) had its final taping in May of 1998.
