Tucker Carlson's three-decade media career saw him transform from a little-known, bow tie wearing CNN commentator to one of the most powerful figures in American media.
The 53-year-old is out at Fox News days after it paid $787.5 million to settle the Dominion lawsuit. He has spent years as the face of the network's political coverage through his hugely successful nightly show, Tucker Carlson Tonight.
Carlson divided opinion - and drew fierce criticism from the left - with his polemics on everything from the 2020 presidential election to the Black Lives Matter movement.
But he hasn't always been known as a divisive right-wing firebrand.
His career, which began in the mid-1990s, has included work for a wide range of publications, including a long stint at CNN, and he's also the author of several books.
Carlson started his career in the 1990s as a fact-checker for Policy Review, a conservative journal which ceased publication in 2013. After that, he worked as an opinion writer at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
The early years of his print career also included a stint at The Weekly Standard, which closed down in 2018.
As a print journalist, he wrote for publications including The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal and Esquire. But, at the time, there were limits to who he was willing to work for.
In 1999, Carlson told how he'd feared he'd be 'written off as a wing nut' if he joined The American Spectator, a conservative magazine.
His TV break came in 2000 when he joined CNN and co-hosted The Spin Room.

Suspect when Fox under pressure ordered Carlson to stop airing the January 6 tapes, Carlson decided then it was time to leave. Also when Fox caved to Dominion without a real fight, it convinced Tucker to leave.
He was at MSBNC before Fox, he can go back there, and make Joe Scarborough look conservative in comparison.
Or maybe he can go back to his starting place, CNN, and replace Don Lemon.
Is Tucker out from Fox news? When does this take effect?
His show is still listed on guide.
Carlson was the ONLY reason I watched FOX. So long FOX that swirling sound is you going down the drain.
It took effect last Friday.
It’s time for Elon to announce his TV broadcasting platform and that Tucker is part of it...

There is still that lousy “Five.”
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris received 81,000,000 votes…..
Hahahahahahahahaha!!!
That would be good.
That’s funny
As my old buddy used to say, Fox News has s#it in its mess kit...
Jesse was getting tedious. Hanety, repetitive, Ingram, meh.
About the only thing worthwhile is Guttfeld.
Yeah, Fox is DOA.
He actually started at PBS before he was on CNN.
This is a good thing. There is no reason why Carlson can’t continue being a force against the Uniparty (R). Not to mention, no longer will he come from work reeking of that DS stench.
His last show was Friday - he’s totally out at Fox.
Are you sure? I thought he was on PBS around 2004/5 after he left CNN.
I think that was marked down to 3.50
