He is also not seen on any of his social media platforms recently. He has been off the radar since last week and hasn’t been spotted in public either. He might be ill or enjoying a vacation.
It is most unlikely for him to leave his job as he is one of the company’s experienced employees, and there hasn’t been any information from FOX 29’s side regarding his departure.
Is Mike Jerrick Suspended Or Leaving FOX 29’s Team?
Jerrick’s current status is not known to the media. He is probably not suspended or fired from FOX 29’s team as there hasn’t been any official statement from the network regarding this matter. However, Jerrick was given a week’s suspension by Fox 29 in January 2017.
On the 23rd, Jerrick, co-host Alex Holley, and guests were talking about Kellyanne Conway’s now-famous “alternative facts” comment that she was “excellent at bullshit.”

Both Jerrick and Holley said, “We’re sorry for that”. However, management promptly suspended Jerrick for the remainder of the week for uttering a word deemed vulgar on live air.
On January 30, he apologized to Holley and the audience for his absence and thanked them for their support on the station’s social media platforms.
