decade? Tucker Carlson has been apparently fired by Fox News. The statement that was originally put out by Fox News media suggested an agreement to Partways, but we can all tell that that is not exactly what happened. According to Fox News, quote, Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to Partways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host. And prior to that as a contributor, Mr. Carlson's last program was Friday, April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 p.m. Eastern starting this evening as an interim show, held by a rotating Fox News personalities crew until a new host is named. It's earth-shattering in media terms. It is enormous. Tucker is the biggest cable host on TV.

So, three million viewers a night, according to the latest ratings. The market immediately responded

by not liking what happened very much. So the Fox News stock took a serious dive. It went from

approximately 3350 a share all the way down to about 3,150 a share. So it lost like a couple

of bucks in share price, which was, you know, when you aggregate it, $690 million in value.

I not regained a lot of that by the end of trading. But it just shows you that Tucker meant a lot

to the network in terms of the actual value of the network. Tucker obviously did not see it

coming. So any talk that this was

some sort of planned arrangement between Tucker Carlson and Fox News that he was ready to go with,

for example, another media outlet or that he was readying a presidential run, that appears to be

belied by the simple fact that on Friday, Tucker literally said, we'll see you here on Monday.

And what we are hearing from people who are in the know is that Tucker was prepping his show as of Monday morning, getting ready for Monday night, when the news came down that he had been summarily fired from Fox News.

Here are the last moments of Tucker's show, apparently forever, on Friday from Fox News.
