Tucker Carlson leaves Fox News as they 'agree to part ways'
Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways, according to a statement released on Monday.
The statement reads: "Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. 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.
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.
The decision to part ways with Carlson comes less than a week after the broadcaster and Dominion Voting Systems reached a $787 million settlement. Carlson's show was not a main focus of Dominion's lawsuit.
Carlson's departure comes weeks after a former booker at the show, Abby Grossberg, sued Fox, citing "vile sexist stereotypes" working for Carlson. NBC reports that "Grossberg was fired in March after she filed a lawsuit claiming that Fox lawyers coerced her into giving misleading testimony in the Dominion case and that she was being made a scapegoat for the network’s 2020 election coverage. Fox says she was fired for divulging privileged information."
Grossberg's lawyer has since said that his client has a "uniquely strong" case against Fox News.
Several former Fox News hosts reacted to the news of Carlson leaving the network, including Megyn Kelly, who said "Good for Tucker. Trust me, he doesn't need them."
Dan Bongino, who also split ways with the network last week, simply tweeted "WTF!" in response.
The media shakeup continued…

Don Lemon TERMINATED by CNN
On Monday, Don Lemon revealed to his Twitter followers that he has been terminated by CNN.
"I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN," Lemon’s statement began. "I am stunned. After 17 years at CNN I would have thought that someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly."
In response to Lemon’s statement, CNN said, "Don Lemon’s statement about this morning’s events is inaccurate. He was offered an opportunity to meet with management but instead released a statement on Twitter."
Most recently, Lemon was in hot water over comments made about Nikki Haley, being forced to undergo formal training and absent from CNN This Morning for several days.
In Late February, Lemon said of presidential candidate Nikki Haley saying politicians over the age of 75 should undergo mental competency tests - saying she Nikki Haley wasn’t in her prime.
Lemon went on to say women were in their prime "in their 20s and 30s and maybe 40s."
The next week though, Lemon didn’t return to the program until Wednesday, undergoing "formal training" as to why his comments were wrong. During this time, female CNN staffers threatened to quit if Lemon was allowed back.
During Lemon’s absence from the morning show, CNN This Morning’s ratings went up by five percent.
In September, Lemon was removed from his long-held primetime slot to the morning show.
