Tucker Carlson Leaves Fox News: ‘Last Program Was Friday’

by Madeleine Hubbard

 

Fox News host Tucker Carlson is leaving the network, Fox announced Monday.

Carlson’s last show on the network was Friday. Starting Monday, “Fox News Tonight” will air in place of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” which had been one of the network’s top prime-time shows since its 2016 launch.

“Fox News Tonight” will be led by rotating Fox contributors until a new host is named, the network said.

“We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” Fox News also said about Carlson’s departure.

It is unclear why Carlson is parting ways with the network. His program was the top-rated cable news show in the United States.

The news network’s full statement reads:

NEW YORK — April 24, 2023 — FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.

Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.

FOX News Media operates the FOX News Channel (FNC), FOX Business Network (FBN), FOX News Digital, FOX News Audio, FOX News Books, the direct-to-consumer streaming services FOX Nation and FOX News International and the free ad-supported television service FOX Weather. Currently the number one network in all of cable, FNC has also been the most watched television news channel for more than 21 consecutive years, while FBN ranks among the top business channels on cable. Owned by Fox Corporation, FOX News Media reaches nearly 200 million people each month.

    Get rid of Juan Williams and KEEP Tucker!

    FOX continues it’s downward spiral. What they consider to be Entertainment news is usually sex trash. They must be folding to the pressure from Mr. Magoo’s clan of liberal traitors. I’ll be deleting my FOX news bookmark and will follow Tucker where ever he goes. He is one of the few media personalities left in our country that has the courage to speak the truth.
