Fox News announced that its most popular host, Tucker Carlson, has departed from the network Monday after seven years of hosting its prime-time 8 p.m. slot.
Carlson was the highest-rated prime-time host on the network for several years, with his show starting in 2016. His departure leaves a significant gap in Fox News’s lineup, with Fox News announcing that it would rely on a rotating group of hosts to occupy Carlson’s slot until they find a replacement.
The Washington Examiner mentions some of the top candidates who could replace him, including Jesse Watters and Maria Bartiromo.
