Fox News parted ways with Tucker Carlson on Monday, shocking the world of media, and apparently even Carlson himself.
Seth Meyers, meanwhile, had a pretty good laugh at the statement the network prepared to announce Carlson’s firing on-air, saying it “felt like a decree from state television in some sort of weird, cult-like dictatorship.”
“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have mutually agreed to part ways,” said the statement from Fox News Media that was read live on the network after the news came down. It added, “We want to thank Tucker Carlson for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a long-term contributor.”
