The announcement was reportedly aired at 11:45 am Eastern Time by host Harris Faulkner, adding that the statement was “News from within our Fox family.”
Carlson’s show is expected to be taken over by a rotating cast of Fox hosts during the interim while a new show is selected to fill the lineup.
It is currently unclear why Carlson and the network have agreed to go separate ways, but the departure follows just days after Fox News agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems to the tune of nearly $800 million. It is also unclear how much time Carlson had remaining in his contract, or if Fox intends to pay their star host a severance.

It’s going to be so funny watching Don Lemon complain and call everyone racist because he got fired today and no one will care at all meanwhile Tucker Carlson leaving Fox has an entire country mourning.
It’s not racism, Don, you just suck.

Conservative commentators were quick to add their thoughts on the shocking announcement and offered their support to Carlson.
“Tucker Carlson is an American Hero who through his tenure at Fox was able to break some of the biggest and most important stories,” said detransition activist Oli London.
“Tucker has been fearless in sharing the truth and never afraid to speak out against topics other networks wouldn’t cover. Sad to hear he has left Fox. It was a pleasure speaking to him last year”
