With Tucker Carlson now out at Fox News, his show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, is being replaced by a new program called Fox News Tonight, the network announced Monday.
Earlier in the day, Fox News revealed that Carlson, the top-rated prime-time host in cable news, was leaving the network, after they "agreed to part ways." Fox News Tonight will fill the weeknight 8 p.m. time slot, with different Fox News personalities anchoring the program until a permanent host is chosen. For Fox News Tonight's first episode on Monday, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade sat in the chair, and briefly touched on Carlson's exit. "I wish Tucker the best," he said. "I'm great friends with Tucker and always will be."
