Tucker Carlson
Fox News said Tucker Carlson, the host of its top-rated nightly show, will leave the network, effective immediately.

His exit, coming a week after Fox agreed to pay $787 million to settle a defamation suit brought by Dominion Voting Systems Inc., leaves a big hole in the schedule of the No. 1 cable network.
“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.
His last show was on Friday, the network said.
Before the settlement, Carlson was among a handful of Fox Corp. figures, including Chairman Rupert Murdoch, scheduled to testify in the case. The others were Murdoch’s son, Lachlan, who is Fox Corp.’s CEO, as well as Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and network host Maria Bartiromo.
