Monday morning, in an unexpected shock announcement, Monday, FOX said that it would be ‘parting ways’ with Tucker Carlson, the host of its popular 8 p.m. program Tucker Carlson Tonight.

“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 company said in a statement.

Tucker won’t have a chance to say goodbye to his audience either since FOX said his last show was last Friday.

The host is leaving Fox News days after the network reached a settlement with Dominion Voting Systems in its defamation lawsuit.

Coincidence?
