Steve Krakauer of TVNewser reports that “Fast Money” contributor and commentator Jeff Macke has left CNBC.
Krakauer writes, “‘Jeff is no longer with CNBC,’ says spokesperson Brian Steel. ‘We wish him all the best, and we thank him for his quality contributions.’
“Macke’s appearance on the May 19 CNBC Reports led to rumors he would be off his regular duty at Fast Money. Instead, he was on vacation for a week and returned to the show, appearing through last Friday.”
