Tucker Carlson and Fox News are parting ways. Here's what Tucker had to say before the news broke.

Fox News Media announced Monday morning that the media company and host Tucker Carlson had "agreed to part ways" in a significant shakeup to Fox News Channel's primetime lineup that has been a ratings juggernaut and helped Fox News Channel become the number one cable network in the United States in addition to the most-watched TV news channel for more than 20 years.

The announcement came in an emailed release from Fox News Media that said the company thanked Carlson "for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor."
