CNBC anchor Shepard Smith opened up about why he left Fox News during an interview with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie Wednesday.

Smith’s new show “The News with Shepard Smith” premiered Wednesday at 7 p.m. and follows his abrupt exit from Fox News in October 2019. Smith was one of Fox’s early hires when the network launched in 1999 and more recently began to face criticism from President Donald Trump and some conservative viewers.

“It was time for a change,” Smith said of his decision to leave Fox and move over to CNBC. “I needed something new. Just because you hit 56 doesn’t mean you can’t start again.
