FOX News Channel’s correspondent-at-large Geraldo Rivera recently signed a new multi-year deal to remain with FOX News Media.

He will continue serving as a correspondent-at-large contributing most prominently to FOX News Channel and FOX Nation.

His journalism career spans more than 50 years having worked for WABC-TV in New York as well as ABC News, NBC News, CNBC and launching his own syndicated talk show.

Jets Top Texans 21-14 In Zach Wilson Return

Zach Wilson wasn’t satisfied with his game against the Houston Texans in his return from injury.

The rookie is, however, glad he’ll get to work on getting better this week with another win under his belt after his team picked him up to lead the New York Jets to a 21-14 win.

Wilson threw for 145 yards and ran for a touchdown in his return from a sprained right knee, helping the Jets snap a three-game skid.

“I wasn’t happy with how I performed, the ups and downs of it all,” he said. “But I’ve got to keep going. This is all part of the process. It feels really good having a win. That’s the goal is to win the game. I’m really happy we were able to pull it out.”

Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick in April who missed the last four games, was rusty early and threw an interception but put the Jets (3-8) on top with a 4-yard scamper in the third quarter.

The Texans (2-9) hoped to build on an upset of Tennessee last week that ended an eight-game skid and looked good early. Tyrod Taylor threw two touchdown passes in the second quarter to give Houston 14-3 lead, but the Texans couldn’t do anything offensively after that.

First Asian American Muppet Joins Sesame Street

Sesame Street is introducing a new friend to its long-running program.

Ji-Young will make history as the first Asian American muppet in the 52-year-old show’s history.

The character is a 7-year-old Korean American who is passionate about the electric guitar and skateboarding.

“So, in Korean traditionally the two syllables they each mean something different and Ji means, like, smart or wise. And Young means, like, brave or courageous and strong,” Ji-Young explained during a recent interview alongside longtime Sesame Street mainstay Ernie.

“But we were looking it up and guess what? Ji also means sesame.”
