Tucker Carlson's Final Words On Last Fox News Show Are Quite Telling
Monday’s announcement that Tucker Carlsonis leavingFox News may have been as much of a surprise for Carlson as it was for everyone else.
Although the network’s statement suggested Carlson’s departure was mutual, Carlson gave ― or had ― no clue it was coming during the final moments of Friday’s broadcast ― which is now known to be his last.
During the last segment on his final show, Carlson ate pizza with Tyler Morrell, a Pennsylvania pizza delivery driver who helped arrest a suspect eluding police.
In fact, his final signoff is a cheerful, “We’ll be back on Monday,” though it’s now clear that isn’t happening.
Here was the end of what turned out to be Tucker Carlson's final Fox News show last Friday. Certainly no indication that he didn't expect to be on the air tonight. In fact Tucker's final words are, "we'll be back on Monday." pic.twitter.com/F9R5MpWHDK

Not surprisingly, those last moments started going viral as people realized it was the end of an era.
Wow. This is how Tucker Carlson ended his very last show last Friday. He said “I’ll see you on Monday.” He had absolutely no idea he would get dumped by Fox. Just let that sink in & then rejoice for truth and democracy. Oh, joy!! pic.twitter.com/ts96qXo2pq

Fittingly, even Tucker’s final words were a lie: https://t.co/0EwA5idYSn

Tucker Carlson's reign didn't end with a bang, but with a plug for a documentary he made called "let them eat bugs." https://t.co/2tBAV2DnJR

History books will reflect how Tucker Carlson's final moment on Fox News involved him eating pizza and talking about munching on bugs.pic.twitter.com/mqZi8MJPkz

The network said it will air “Fox News Tonight” “as an interim show helmed by rotating Fox News personalities” until Carlson’s replacement is named.
