Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News, after reigning over the network for nearly a decade.
In a shock announcement Monday, the network announced his departure, saying his final show was on April 21st.
'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,' the network statement read.
Host Harris Faulkner also announced his departure on air, saying: 'We have some news from within our Fox family. Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have mutually agreed to part ways. Tucker's last show was this past Friday.'
An interim roster of hosts will take over in his absence until a permanent replacement is chosen.
Carlson - who signed off his final show on Friday with 'that's it for us for the week, we'll be back!' - is yet to comment.
His departure comes days after Fox settled with Dominion Voting Systems which had sued for defamation, claiming hosts like Carlson knew President Trump's election fraud claims were untrue, but pushed them for ratings.
Dominion sued for $1.6billion and settled for $787million at the 11th hour, narrowly avoiding an embarrassing and highly-publicized trial where Carlson and other hosts would likely have been called as witnesses.
Among discovery submitted before the trial were text messages in which Carlson described his 'passionate' hatred of President Trump.
Carlson's show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, was the gleaming jewel of Fox's nightly line-up, drawing in 3.5million viewers every night.

Don lemon has been hired by Fox News to take over the Tucker Carlson show. The new direction comes out of the dominion lawsuit. In order to settle the other lawsuit they have to hire Don lemon and change the reviews from conservative to extreme liberal.
Pucker up.
Settling the case was a moronic decision.
Is this BREAKING!? 😂😂😂 No mo fauxnoose.
Not impossible that he throws his hat in the ring.
Dominion must be prouder now than a Greyhound full of homos, lesbians and trannies. They brought down Tucker Carlson. The guy who shined the light of truth on Bidenskkkyyyy’s January Sixth fiasco.
I had thoughts along this line too. Lemon and Tucker can just switch places. Lemon would feel right at home at Fox and maybe Tucker would change some leftist attitudes at CNN. Disclaimer: I’m being funny.
That’s the question isn’t it? Has Fox actually paid all those millions to Dominion?
The deep state really does control everything.
He exposed the drug industry…that is a no..no….
They spend money advertising there so they will get good coverage
BUT DAMN....he was showing to much TRUTH!!
My guess is he wanted a ton more money. And…he will likely get offers from other networks to be their lead guy.
Money talks these days. It doesn’t sound like he was “fired.” It sounds like Fox needs to trim their budgets.
Maybe Rachel Campos Duffy can be on ANOTHER show. //sarc
$1 per year for 787,000,000 years.
Tucker gave an interesting speech this weekend at the Heritage Foundation. Found here: https://notthebee.com/article/you-have-to-watch-tucker-carlsons-keynote-at-the-50th-anniversary-of-the-heritage-foundation
You know, not to be a religious conspiracy theorist, but I think Tucker is on to something, and its become more obvious to me daily the effect that the Devil has on things.
“Settling the case was a moronic decision.”
Yep... Pretty self explanatory. They are another fork of the Communist machine. They were just playing good cop/bad cop. This suit was a great opportunity to subpoena Dominion’s secrets.
Will he be on Newsmax…
Tucker UNLEASHED! His 3.5 MILLION voters will follow him.
Maybe more of the January 6 videos he was forbidden to air will be played.
I haven’t watched Fox news since the election in 2020. The one where Brent Bear said the Democrats were going to pick up 15-25 seats in the House at the very beginning of the night. Republicans picked up 15. A “miss” of 30-45 seat.
My life is BETTER without FOX News.
Yep.....stupid and now they are attempting to purge Fox of the “election deniers” which, as all things Trump are proven to be, will be shown to be TRUE!!!! We ALL know the 2020 election was stolen!!! https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/04/21/after-englebrecht-and-phillips-publish-proof-of-election-data-compromise-konnech-corp-drops-lawsuit-against-true-the-vote/
