Jason Chaffetz Has Been Telling House Republicans He Will Join Fox News
There is another possibility. According to two GOP lawmakers who have spoken to Chaffetz directly and four senior House Republican aides, Chaffetz has been telling people he’ll take on what one source calls a “substantial role” in on-air talent at Fox News Channel, possibly as early as July, amplifying whispers that Chaffetz will not finish out his current term.
Chaffetz, 50, has said on Facebook he made “a personal decision to return to the private sector.”
Some observers in Utah speculated that he might join Fox News in some capacity. His announcement came the same day as the network revealed it would cut ties with
Bill O’Reilly.

He's VERY likely getting O'Reilly's spot and even if he gets a third of his money he's laughing all the way to the bank, while getting to push the Congressional GOP agenda nightly and increasing his public profile. Probably figures America elected Trump, so he's not hurt being out of politics if he wants to run for anything in the future.
Can't see Fox allowing him to broadcast remotely from Utah though, so he'll have to move to, gulp, NYC.
