Tucker Carlson’s name has become synonymous with Fox News over the years, with "Tucker Carlson Tonight" boasting the network’s highest viewership. The conservative political analyst has been delivering the news and his commentary to a loyal audience since joining Fox News 2009 and hosting his primetime talk show since 2016. His longevity and longtime success were two of the reasons it was so shocking when Fox News announced April 24 that Carlson was no longer employed by the network. It wasn’t just his fans, either, who were surprised, as Sean Hannity and Megyn Kelly opened up about the unexpected move.
