Fox News Anchor Says CEO Roger Ailes Saved His Life

TV Newser: Longtime Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett said he is “feeling healthy for the first time in more than a decade.” It’s an amazing sentiment from a man who just a year ago thought his life was nearing an end. In April 2014, while anchoring a newscast, Jarrett appeared to slur his words, leading some — including his bosses at the network — to wonder if he had been drinking. Jarrett met with CEO Roger Ailes. “It was the first time I’d ever said ‘I’m an alcoholic.'” Jarrett truly believes that Ailes saved not just his career, but his life. “Roger Ailes was the first person to step in and come to my rescue. I don’t want to sound overly dramatic, but I don’t think I’d be here today if not for Roger.”
