What happened to Tucker Carlson?
In April 2023, Fox News made headlines by revealing that it had “agreed to part ways” with Tucker Carlson. This announcement came after Fox settled a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million over false election claims. According to Vox, Carlson’s direct involvement in the lawsuit was minimal. However, his certain text messages, which were exposed during the legal proceedings, drew significant media attention. The exact circumstances surrounding Carlson’s unexpected exit from Fox News remain somewhat mysterious.
What does Tucker Carlson do now?
After his firing from Fox, Tucker Carlson launched his own online network. He has released several online interviews with notable conservative figures, including one with former President Donald Trump to counter a GOP debate. Carlson’s one of the most notable interviews was with Russian President Vladimir Putin in February.
Tucker Carlson made a high-profile return to Fox News’s airwaves 15 months after his abrupt firing. He appeared on July 18, 2024, during the network’s coverage of the Republican National Convention, as per AP News.
In his 11-minute speech in Milwaukee, Carlson highlighted former President Donald Trump’s transformation and called the Republican nominee a changed man. He had been active throughout the convention, even pushing for Ohio Senator J.D. Vance to be Trump’s running mate. Fox News showcased Carlson’s speech during prime time.
Tucker Carlson has also found success on the speaking circuit, recently completing a tour in Australia. He has planned a U.S. tour for September, featuring special guests such as Donald Trump Jr., Megyn Kelly, Roseanne Barr, and more.
