The network released a statement indicating that it had mutually agreed with Carlson to part ways. The statement read: 'Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways ... We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.'

Carlson courted controversy throughout his career relying on provocative and inaccurate reporting to boost his ratings. The Los Angeles Times reported his departure was linked to a lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems, which sued the network for defamation after Carlson falsely claimed that the company rigged the 2020 election in favor of Joe Biden.
