Unflappable Fox News anchor Shep Smith is an anomaly at a network dominated by opinionated hosts like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson, and he's not going anywhere anytime soon.

On Thursday, Fox News announced that Smith just signed a multiyear contract renewal. In an interview with Time, Smith, who got his start working in local news in Florida before landing at Fox News in 1996, said he understands that some viewers are looking for their "worldview to be confirmed," and they don't always get that from him. For example, Smith has debunked the Hannity-approved Uranium One conspiracy, and he's fine with being at odds with his conservative Fox News colleagues.
