It is difficult to immediately determine why he left. Earlier today, Fox News quickly made the following declaration:.

The announcement that Carlson would be leaving immediately and without a send-off was made during his final program, which aired on Friday. Fox News Tonight will fill his 8 PM ET time slot in the interim.
Just days before the announcement, Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems reached a $787,05,000,000 settlement of a defamation lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that Fox News hosts Carlson and others spread rumors that the organization’s voting machines were rigged in favor of former president Donald Trump in the 2020 election. It’s unclear whether Carlson’s departure had anything to do with that arrangement.
Tucker Carlson has gained sway in conservative politics in recent years. Nevertheless, he has sowed a lot of discord with his extreme opinions on issues like race, LGBTQ rights, and the conflict in Ukraine.
Many advertisers have stopped sponsoring his program as a result of claims that he subscribes to conspiracy theories and white nationalist ideologies.
Fox News has consistently produced excellent ratings for Carlson despite his involvement in controversy, and has supported him over the years. Carlson and Fox News abruptly parted ways, but the reasons why are not yet known.
