Franks says even though he won’t be on television, he is looking forward to spending more time with the community during his retirement.
“When you are tied to a live TV show Monday through Friday, then galas and parties and dinners and fundraisers and all of those things that happen at night Monday through Friday, you don’t get to really participate, you can make a quick appearance, but you don’t really get to be a part of that in the community, so I’m looking forward to being a part of that in the community,” he said.
