In the wake of Fox News' announcement that anchor Jesse Watters would take over Tucker Carlson's 8pm time-slot, the network has reportedly eliminated the positions of the remainder of the former host's remaining eight staff.

The eight staffers who worked on Tucker Carlson Tonight were told they could receive "enhanced severance" if they continued working through 14 July. The workers will reportedly be given the chance to apply for other positions at Fox News, according to a Fox News source speaking to The Independent.
