Tucker Carlson Says “Honestly” Doesn’t Know Why Fox Pulled Him Off The Air, & He’s Good With That – Kinda

“I don’t know why I was fired, I really don’t,” declared Tucker Carlson today on his sudden departure from the airwaves of Fox News on April 24. “I’m not angry about it,” the former primetime host told pal Russell Brand. “I honestly don’t know.” “I was surprised,” Carlson said at another point in the heavy hyped interview. “I didn’t you know expect to get fired that morning at all in April.

So, I was shocked, but I wasn’t really shocked. And I wasn’t mad. It’s not my company. And when you work for someone else, that person reserves the right and in fact has inherently the right to decide whether you work there or not.” “You can believe me or not, but …I wish Fox well,” one-time GOP kingpin Carlson added.

Carlson may wish his former employer well, but as the two sides continue to scuffle over his more than $20 million 2025 ending contract and his new-ish Twitter show there didn’t seem to be much good will between the lines between the parties Friday.

Touching on topics ranging from Donald Trump (Tucker now says he loves the former Celebrity Apprentice host) rural life, brutalist architecture, and the January 6 attack on the Capitol (“not an insurrection,” according to the self declared violence hating Carlson), the chummy sit-down with Brand on the latter’s Rumble show took a dark turn when it came to his pink slipping of sorts from Fox and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
