The announcement of Carlson's leaving was made on Monday.
Tucker Carlson's executive producer Justin Wells is also leaving Fox News, two people familiar with the situation told Semafor.
The announcement of Carlson's leaving was made on Monday, after his last show was on Friday, April 21. Fox News Tonight will now feature rotating personalities as an interim show until a new host is named.
Carlson's departure comes just weeks after a former booker, Abby Grossberg, sued Fox, citing "vile sexist stereotypes" working for Carlson. Grossberg claims that she was fired after filing a lawsuit that claimed Fox lawyers coerced her into giving misleading testimony in the Dominion case.
Fox maintains that she was fired for divulging privileged information.
The decision to part ways with Carlson came less than a week after the broadcaster and Dominion Voting Systems reached a $787 million settlement, although his show was not a main focus of Dominion's lawsuit.
Carlson's show was frequently the top-rated show on cable news, often surpassing 4.5 million viewers per episode.
The show premiered in November 2016 and took over the coveted 8 pm EST time slot in 2017. Fox News Media is currently the number one network in all of cable and reaches nearly 200 million people each month. Join and support independent free
I heard that Paul Ryan is the Chairman of the Board at FOX. If so, he undoubtedly had a role in this decision.
Fired over releasing the J6 videos from accounts, along with some of the staff by Murdock this morning, must of got a call from Soros.
Makes sense, particularly if the reason for the split is a difference of opinion about content.
Hopefully he goes where Tucker goes
So what happens to the J6 video?!

Will Hunter Biden be in the rotation?
Just asking for a friend.
I think that means that they may have an option.
“I heard that Paul Ryan is the Chairman of the Board at FOX.”
So easy to verify before posting falsely.
Heh, I misread that as “former hooker”...
Whoever at Fox is allowing Carlson to depart is either a complete fool, or has an agenda besides ensuring high ratings for Fox.
Know Paul Ryan, they'll probably hire Susan Rice.
I will watch in awe and wonder of his intellect.
The article tries to make it sound like this is because of some lawsuit by a minor character.
Still, I wonder if there was horse trading -- if you guys drop Tucker, we might accept less than the full $787M.
Tell your friend that Dr. jill will get a gig at FUX.
Lots of Speculation now that Tucker will go independent on Rumble Like Crowder did
He would get 60% of ad revenue and 90% of any subscription income
Bongino already said that he is going to do more with Rumble after his show on Fox got cancelled
In addition to Bongino (who owns 5.7% of Rumble) they already signed ex fox and Friends host Clayton Morris (Redacted news) Former “the five” Host kimberly guilfoyle and Glenn Greenwald (who was a frequent guest of Tucker)
BINGO!
Top rated show on top rated network.
Proof that politics (office and others) dominates life.
