Rosen began his career at News 12-The Bronx as a one-man-band street reporter before being elevated to the anchorman. He also worked for that network as a camera operator, editor, and producer.

In February 1999, Rosen joined Fox News as an on-air correspondent. He has since reported “from 49 states and more than three dozen foreign places across five continents,” according to his Fox News biography. Rosen was named the “Funniest Celebrity in Washington” in January 2003 after presenting a comic routine that included impersonations of George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Helen Thomas, and Tom Brokaw, among others, at the annual “Funniest Celebrity in Washington Contest” charity event.

Rosen resigned from Fox News at the end of 2017 amid repeated allegations that he sexually harassed staffers. In interviews with eight of his former coworkers, it was found that Rosen made “overt physical and sexual approaches” on many occasions. When these charges were first reported by NPR, Rosen refused to comment. On December 5, 2019, while reporting for Sinclair Broadcast Group, Rosen irritated Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi by asking if she “hates President Trump” as she was exiting a press conference on the impeachment investigation into Donald Trump. “I don’t dislike anybody,” Pelosi said to Rosen. “As a Catholic, I despise your using the term hate in a statement that addresses me,” she said as she returned to the lectern. I don’t hold grudges against anyone. So when it comes to words like that, don’t mess with me.” Trump subsequently responded, “I don’t believe her, not even close.” Pelosi stated that she prays for Trump on a regular basis, to which Trump responded, “I don’t believe her, not even close.”
