WWW- Pat O’Brien, host of “The Insider” syndicated entertainment news magazine, has left an alcohol rehabilitation program and will be back at work next week.

“I want to thank everyone for their support during the past few weeks,” O’Brien said in a statement Tuesday. “I plan to continue my recovery with the help and support of my family, colleagues and friends, and look forward to getting back to work.”

O’Brien left the program Sunday, Manfred Westphal, a spokesman for Paramount Domestic Television, which produces the syndicated TV program, said Tuesday.

There were no details about the recovery facility or when the 57-year-old O’Brien entered the rehab program.

Linda Bell Blue, the show’s executive producer, said O’Brien will return to work May 5.

“I spent time with Pat recently and he’s looking and feeling great,” she said in a statement. “We’re all excited to welcome him back to the office and back on the air.”

Last month, O’Brien announced he “had a problem with alcohol” and that “overcoming this problem is a top priority in my life and I am excited to return to work as soon as I am able.”

O’Brien’s image has recently taken a beating after obscene phone messages left by what sounds like his voice were distributed on the Internet.

The show’s New York host, Lara Spencer, has taken over the show during O’Brien’s absence.
