Who will replace Tucker Carlson on Fox?
Page Six reported that Fox News’ Lawrence Jones, 30, will be temporarily replacing Carlson, 53, after the former TV host left the network following his last appearance on April 21, 2023.
On Monday, May 1, Jones will take over hosting duties for the 8pm slot that was previously reserved for Carlson, who hosted Tucker Carlson Tonight since 2016.
A “media insider” told Page Six: “Fox News is trying out a rotating list of anchors in Tucker’s spot — this week it has been Fox & Friends’ Brian Kilmeade — but it is significant that they have chosen Jones to step up so soon after Tucker’s departure.”
At this time, it is unclear who will permanently replace Carlson.

He works for multiple shows on the network, including Fox & Friends and Fox News Primetime.
