IHOP is joining the mass of advertisers abandoning Fox News host Tucker Carlson's show after his controversial comments about immigration last week.
"At our core, we stand for welcoming folks from all backgrounds and beliefs into our restaurants and continually evaluate advertising to ensure it aligns with our values," IHOP said in a statement to Business Insider.
"In this case, we will no longer be advertising on this show."
At least 12 advertisers have stopped advertising on the show since last week, according to The Hollywood Reporter, whichfirst reported the news that IHOP was cutting ties with Tucker Carlson's show.
Last Thursday, Carlson said in a segment that the US needed more "scientists and engineers," as the country seeks to fill automated and tech-centered jobs.
"Instead we're getting waves of people with high school educations or less. Nice people, no one doubts that, but as an economic matter this is insane. It's indefensible, so no one even tries to defend it," he said.
"Instead our leaders demand that you shut up and accept this. We have a moral obligation to admit the world's poor, they tell us, even if it makes our country poorer and dirtier and more divided."

I was already boycotting IHOP due to its lousy food. Now I’ll add IHOP’s war against American sovereignty and security to my boycott reasons.
As long as companies make their money, they can care less about the country.
“I might have been in one IHOP in my life as a kid, maybe.”
I’ll try to Beat ya to it. Last time I was at IHOP when I was in college...and left because ghetto animals were making a ruckus.
I wasn’t scared but my date was. I told my date they probably ran out of chicken..
IHOP will go the way of Dick’s Sporting I bet.
IHOP can take a flying leap.
Go into your local IHOP and order a feast, and then after ordering, but before eating a bite, tell the waitstaff that IHOP's politics have made you sick, and then walk out.
My daughter lasted two days working at an IHOP—said it was the worst imaginable job, with horrible management, people getting up and leaving after waiting for a half hour,(with plenty of open tables) and on top of that, resentful and impossible to get along with “co-workers”
The cold civil war is heating up.
Pair of bearclaws please!
But she never spilled a drop....
The only people who eat at ihop are too dumb to cook, or too poor to have an equipped kitchen. Just the sort Tucker is suggesting we don’t need more of.
Goodbye IHOP, don’t let the door hit ya on your shitty pancakes on the way out.
>>IHOP in general runs good restaurants. Clean and good food.
NOT even close to my experience. Incompetent management. The few times I go, I swear I won’t go back.
I’ve never been to one sober.
Never really liked IHOP anyway.
Virtue Signaling = Virtue Boycotting
Neither have I , come to think about it, so I was surprised to see this. I am in technically “the New York market”, in close-by N. New Jersey. IHOP must advertise in other markets his show is in. Not that popular of a venue around here.We have too many good and “real” restaurants.
