Tucker Carlson 's shock departure from Fox News was announced over the weekend and while there's been no confirmed reason for his axing, reports have suggested that the decision came from higher up.
Tucker joined the conservative news network in 2009 as a contributor before he went on to host his own show, the Tucker Carlson Show in 2016.
Just last week he hit headlines with the highest known settlement in US media after he agreed to pay nearly $800 million to settle a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems over false election claims.
