Tucker Carlson Abruptly Leaves Fox News, Fueling Speculation of Political Run

Fact checked

Fox News has announced the sudden departure of Tucker Carlson, the most popular primetime cable host in the world, who hosted the popular program Tucker Carlson Tonight.

The unexpected separation was confirmed on Monday morning, leaving many wondering about the reasons behind Fox News’ decision to part ways with one of its most highly rated hosts. At this point, the real circumstances for Carlson’s exit remain unknown and a replacement has not been named.

“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” the press release read. “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 21,” the company said. “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.”

In April 2020, the Tucker Carlson Tonight program surpassed Hannity as the highest-rated primetime cable show, averaging an audience of 4.56 million viewers.

In the second quarter of 2020, the show saw an average audience of 4.33 million viewers. That was the largest number of viewers for any program in the history of cable news.

According to Mediaite in 2022, “Carlson [was] the number-one watched host among Democrats in the key 25-54 age demographic – across all networks” in the month of October.

Shocked reactions flooded social media as soon as the news broke, with many people suggesting Carlson is about the enter the political arena.

Many were surprised by the announcement given the popularity that Carlson enjoyed at Fox as well as the highest-rated host on cable television.

“Wow,” tweeted the New York Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who accused Carlson and other Fox pundits of inciting violence during an MSNBC interview that aired on Sunday.

Some remained skeptical that Carlson’s departure from Fox would be the end of his career and speculated that the popular anchor is readying himself for a political run – perhaps for the presidency.

“I’d like to think Tucker Carlson’s departure is the end of an era, but I’m quite certain it’s the beginning of his political career,” the founder of gun control advocacy group Moms Demand Action, Shannon Watts, tweeted.

  1. I have zero doubt the 750+ million dollar Dominion settlement included a *wink *wink fire Tucker or we go to trial…
    Tucker, go to Blaze, work with Glenn Becks network

    • I think you got it all wrong. The 750 million settle is made to give credence that dominion is not corrupt and is actually accurate. we know this not to be true, so does Fox leadership, but they are controlled opposition. they will give out the 750 million but the owner of Fox will get it back thru a back door. Tucker will continue to be an agent of controlled opposition as you say with Beck.
      It is all owned by the same group. it is all deception.
      with the settlement we know Dominion will expand their role in our election system and the people will never be heard from again. our votes will never count for anything. The republic has been destroyed. only the illusion exists now.

      • Yes they won’t even have to pay They just used Tuck to make it look like there’s freedom of speech IMO

      • Course In Texas, think before they introduced smarty pants they were always red but since smarty pants got in they’ve only been blue. Blue is for the royals. Red is for the bloody. Basically “It’s all a nonsense” Grand Duchess Anastasia.

  2. I learned this about Tucker the other day…look at photos/videos of him & you’ll see he wears a red cord bracelet on his left wrist. That’s what kabbalah members wear. Madonna wears it also. Kabbalah – another satanic group masquerading as another religion. Tucker also graduated from both Harvard & Yale…both cabal universities. Me thinks he’s another 1 of their controlled-opposition operatives. Could he have decided to cooperate with the white hats, instead? Time will tell.

  3. He’s gone as part of the Dominion Smartmatic deal because he pretends he s pro trump. They’ve told Fox to get rid of him and that’s why him saying how much he hated Trump was broadcast.

  4. Get it right, News Punch, Tucker Carlson was fired, by the New Nazi Globalist Rupert Murdoch.
    The Liberals and the RINOs are the New Nazis.
    They’ll bare their teeth later.
