states that Jerrick returned to “Good Day Philadelphia” in 2009, and remained as co-host.

“Before coming to FOX 29, Mike was managing editor and anchor on ‘America Afterhours,’ a live, national newsmaker and celebrity interview program on CNBC,” read Jerrick’s bio on FOX 29’s website. “He also hosted ‘What’s News’ for the national cable television network America’s Talking.”

According to his FOX 29 bio, Jerrick also previously hosted “Sci-Fi Buzz” on the Sci-Fi Channel, “World Entertainment Report” on HBO, and worked as a producer and writer for “Evening Magazine” from 1991 to 1997.

Jerrick is no stranger to controversy, however.

Published reports indicate FOX 29 suspended Jerrick in 2017 for using inappropriate language while talking about then-White House counselor Kellyanne Conway.
