CNBC posted the farewells here on the day ending the television show's 5-year run, which wraps up 25 years with the network so far.
Kudlow remains affiliated with CNBC in a senior capacity and will appear daytimes on occasion instead of nightly at 7:00 PM.
Kudlow, 66 and an avid tennis player, has had back problems requiring surgery in the last year, according to his own remarks on his 10:00 AM Saturday radio program on WABCradio.com, where you can download podcasts.
Ending his television program was reportedly his own choice and was made in the interest of slowing down.
Others have pointed to the show's very poor ratings as the reason for ending it, but the show has an enthusiastic and devoted, if not large, following.
The Reaganite supply-sider is known for his belief in free market capitalism as the best path to prosperity, as well as for strong dollar policy, growth oriented economic policies and a militarily strong America which welcomes and befriends others wishing to be free.
Kudlow credits his conversion to Roman Catholicism with helping him overcome a drug and alcohol addiction.
