Eliot Spitzer announced on January 6, 2013 that he left the show and the network, saying that "journalism has been more a matter of projecting a particular approach to covering policies, to covering issues. It was a continuation of what I tried to do in government. And that doesn’t fit with their vision of what [Al Jazeera is] going to do."[2] However, he did say that "I view Al Jazeera as a very serious journalistic outfit".[2] For the remainder of its run, the show was hosted by comedian John Fugelsang.[2] The show aired its final episode on August 15, 2013. Most of the staff moved to the talk show, Consider This, on Al Jazeera America.
