Shepard Smith on his success: 'I never said no. Not to one assignment.' (via CNBCMakeIt)

The News with Shepard Smith

It's an appropriate mission for Smith, 56, who says his success in journalism — and in life — has come from always seeking the truth, and working hard. He's even had to learn his own personal truth along the way.Smith's hunt for the truth started as a kid growing up in Holly Springs, Mississippi. Over breakfast, Smith's parents would get into deep debates about the Vietnam War.

Smith headed to University of Mississippi to study journalism but dropped out two credits shy of a degree to take a TV reporter job in Panama City, Florida."I didn't have legs up, aside from White privilege that I recognize," Smith saysAfter Panama City, Smith took reporting jobs in Fort Myers, Texas, Miami and Orlando, Florida, before finally landing in New York.

Smith says he would work nights and weekends, sometimes for weeks without stopping or while he was sick.

MakeIt She’s Smith - good guy

MakeIt He hasn't earned any success yet?

MakeIt He isn’t successful!!!!

MakeIt That sound like the bio for all Fox News hosts

MakeIt My husband and I followed you for years,though we couldn't,with a clear conscious tune in to Fox news during the Trump years. So glad you left,and now we are able to watch and become informed with your reporting again. Welcome back Shep!

MakeIt That will be a very lower standard when people describe success on Shepard Smith The good thing is I don't watch CNBC during that late afternoon hr Very seldom pass the 1st hr after the market is closed, never pass the 2nd hr

MakeIt Except for doing an assignment on partisan in the MSM. He won't touch it...

MakeIt JUST ANOTHER BIAS OPINION BASED WANT TO BE JOURNALIST ON Shep is a JOKE!

MakeIt thenewsoncnbc Shepard got lost somewhere along the way. The fake news you spit out put you in the position you are in. People don't believe anything in the news anymore because of journalists like you.

MakeIt Shep... The Whacky of the Woke... I think he would do better at... Communist National News (CNN) than the Whacky Woke idiots of CNBC. Bring back Street Signs at 4AM and get rid of the replay of this trash.

MakeIt Don’t put the cart before the horse, success? After all there’s only 33 likes on this post.

MakeIt His show is a disaster ratings failure at CNBC...

MakeIt 322,000 viewers isn't success.

MakeIt Kudos to thenewsoncnbc, Shepard Smith is a decent and honest man who refused to sell his soul to Trump, not like other Demagogoug Foxy!

MakeIt Smith sucks.

MakeIt Nice ratings…

MakeIt Shep.. yous work one hour days... Thats Success

MakeIt Jim Cramer is a hack. firejimcramer

MakeIt I always carried through on my promises

MakeIt Terrible show, nothing different .

MakeIt I found Shep on Fox, I am not a fox watcher but I wanted to see if there were any honest people there. Shep turned out to honest and trustworthy. I am glad to see him back on the air and I record his show every day and will do so as long as he is on the air. Welcome back Shepard

MakeIt Reading a teleprompter is hard. Duhhhhhhhhhh.

MakeIt Trump Derangement Syndrome

MakeIt He’s as dramatic as they come😂😂😂

MakeIt Good guy and very professional but the last thing we need right now in this country is another left-leaning opinion/news show. It’s like having 20 channels all showing the same episode of the same show all day long. Sorry guys...not a good choice.

MakeIt Man I can’t wait to not watch this

MakeIt Top Cock=The head coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks football team.

MakeIt He’s a lightweight lefty hack.

MakeIt 👍... This is the philosophy and sure-fire Road to Success adhered to by IMMIGRANTS, who come to America! God bless old-school WORK-ETHIC and pride in LABOR, regardless! Excellent!!

MakeIt Yeah thats how he ended up at fox news

MakeIt Ok

MakeIt watching. good job.

MakeIt Welcome Shep! Glad you’re back!

MakeIt Great job!!

MakeIt What happened to FairAndBalanced?

MakeIt Good luck with the guy....

MakeIt leftoverpie

MakeIt Still a democratic hack.

MakeIt lol

MakeIt Why is his new show not being carried on CNBC in Canada?

MakeIt Why don't you show the ticker during the 7pm newshour
