Starting Monday night, Fox News Tonight will air live in Carlson’s slot at 8:00 p.m. ET.
“It will be an interim show with rotating Fox News personalities until a new host is named,” Fox News host Harris Faulkner said in a statement read on air.
The news comes nearly one week after the $787.5 million settlement agreement between Fox and Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion’s suit had accused Fox News of recklessly airing false election claims and conspiracy theories in the wake of the 2020 presidential election.
