Fox News Ousts Tucker Carlson in Shock Move Days After Dominion Settlement: A Closer Look - Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

[lorinelson]

The female host announcing Tucker's departure from Fox looked like a hostage video where she was one of the few hostages left.

Just priceless - this was one of your best, all the faces of Carlson, DeSantis, and your own takes. Couldn’t stop laughing all the way through this. God Bless you and staff. This was so needed.

[McShavey]

As an Australian, you have nailed the accent AND the profanity. Well done!

[josoverthehill]

As soon as I saw the breaking news this afternoon, I IMMEDIATELY thought, "I can't wait until the late-night shows. ALL the monologues are going to be Emmy-worthy." The writers' rooms at all the shows must've had the time of their lives today.

[Mr.Zen_]

As an Australian I can say that Seth's Rupert impersonation is 100% spot on!!!

[oncoucharrest]

Seth, sir, I’m a big guy, a strong guy, but I’ve had tears running down my face for the last 2 weeks since you’ve been away. Now that you’re back I’m laughing like Tucker. Thanks 💕

[JonTripp]

"Eat bugs, you f--ka!" is my favorite new catch phrase.

[jhollybee]

What a day to come back! Seth had me scream laughing like Tucker, while doing his best impersonation of Tuck’s downward spiral of fear mongering questions ever! Absolute perfection! 😙👌 You were all greatly missed!

[nickbaker]

Please please please put Tucker Carlson's laugh as a permanent fixture in the thunder and witch sound effect. It is a perfect addition

[shermanculbertson]

Two weeks felt like two months without Seth. And this is great news to come back to.

[weshenry]

Dude, the "woke" reaction you got going is hilarious! Thanks for keeping us all smiling amidst the abject misery.

[elphieofkiamoko]

As soon as I read the news, I told a friend, "I want Seth Meyers' reaction to this so badly." You never let me down 😂

[waynefrog]

Seth is and has some of the best writers out there. His impressions are also savage.

[christinehill]

Tucker will be remembered forever for his segment on ball tanning.

[mjefferson]

Oh Seth we’re so glad you’re back. We got tears running down our eyes

[TheRiverweasel]

I love the big part of it all when they say he'll be replaced by a rotating cast of Fox News "personalities". Not news anchors, not journalists, not reporters, but "personalities". If that doesn't yell that they know they're a joke, Idk what does.

[abelfett]

Tucker's deranged laugh being dubbed over the storm sounds and witch cackle is maybe the funniest thing I've ever seen. Not the first time he's done and it gets me every time

[richardthurmond]

Even his last statement on his show was a lie.. Amazing 🤩

[iolayla]

Seth, you deserve all the Emmys. Perfect segment. I have split my side laughing. 🤣🤣🤣

[LikeTheNumeral]

I've been counting down the minutes, this is gonna be a good one. Hopefully this is another week with 4 closer looks
