So what do we think - will he launch his own channel a la Glenn Beck, or will he join OANN or NewsMax? Or take over InfoWars from Alex Jones?

What I’m wondering is…

Will Carlson use his fanbase and public history to get in on Trump’s campaign team?

Or, with Carlson’s hatred of Trump, and the revelations of his hatred for Trump, is that no longer an option?

Reboot of the Odd Couple? Tucker would have to be the uptight one, I think.

It isn’t too early to crack a beer:

> **[Fox News ousts Tucker Carlson, its most popular host](https://news.yahoo.com/tucker-carlson-fox-news-network-154322307.html)**
>
> 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...

ETA: of course, there’s already a specific thread:

> [@Tucker Carlson Leaves Fox News](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tucker-carlson-quits-fox-news/983119):

> Not sure which forum this goes in, but I figure Politics is as good as any. Carlson’s last day was Friday, so no two weeks’ notice. Somehow I doubt the parting was a completely mutual agreement.

I hope a mod corrects that thread title, since TC didn’t quit.

Throw in the Green M&M and you have a Three’s Company reboot.

Tucker’s show is on, but he isn’t. Any idea how Fox explained it to their viewers? If you only get your news from Fox, is this just a random episode when Tucker is taking the night off?

“He must be tuckered out.”

I saw a segment from Fox. “He’s leaving and we will sure miss him”

“We have sold him for cosmetics testing purposes. We decided we like bunnies more than Tucker.”

I’m wondering why you didn’t say “The _New and improved_ Fox News Channel”. Not really; ISTM that Fox’s lies, along with a few other attributes of the far right, are exactly what transfinite numbers were invented for.

I want to see him team up with Infowar Jones and the felon D’Souza to form the [CJD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creutzfeldt%E2%80%93Jakob_disease) network.

I hadn’t considered the vast human cost of this move. Dozens of racist grannies had to go to bed tonight without their daily dose of Tucker!

Even without him, Fox News Channel is still a bunch of lying tucks.
