In the wake of 9/11, no longer did the big network money seem enough for Geraldo. Taking a pay cut from NBC, Geraldo reinvented himself as Fox News' Chief War Correspondent and set off, determined to cover the ugliness and heroism of the war on terror.
Booted from ABC for a story alleging Kennedy’s relationship with Marilyn Monroe and following a live coverage of the opening of Al Capone’s secret vault, Geraldo was offered his own show which ran salacious and intriguing stories and made him millions.
