Fox News ousts Tucker Carlson, its most popular host

NEW YORK - Fox News on Monday ousted prime-time host Tucker Carlson, whose stew of grievances and political theories about Russia and the Jan. 6 insurrection had grown to define the network in recent years and make him an influential force in GOP politics.

Fox said that the network and Carlson had ''agreed to part ways,'' but offered no explanation for the stunning move, saying that the last broadcast of ''Tucker Carlson Tonight'' aired last Friday. Carlson ended the show by saying, ''We'll be back on Monday.''

Yet on Monday night, viewers tuned in to morning anchor Brian Kilmeade, who said that Carlson was gone, ''as you may have heard.''
