Fox’s Alan Colmes Dies At 66

Fox News Channel’s Alan Colmes, 66, who was the liberal half of Fox’s Hannity and Colmes, died on Thursday after a battle with lymphoma.

After graduating in 1971 from Hofstra University, Colmes began his career as a stand-up comedian. He soon gravitated to radio, appearing on numerous stations until WABC hired him for the morning drive time slot. By 1987 he had moved to WNBC in 1987, but NBC announced in 1988 it would close its radio division. His show was syndicated nationally on radio, then joined Hannity in 1996.
