Don’t feel bad for fired Fox host Tucker Carlson, says fellow former Fox superstar Bill O’Reilly, whom Carlson took over for.
“He’ll make a lot of clams,” O’Reilly, who has built a successful independent news operation in the country with his podcast, analysis, and bestselling Killing series of books after getting the boot from Fox in 2017, said.Interviewed by WMAL’s Larry O’Connor Wednesday, O’Reilly said “litigation” and pending lawsuits against Carlson are likely the reason Fox fired him on Monday.
“Carlson is a talented broadcaster. He's got a big following. He'll go into the independent news or analysis industry, of which I started six years ago. Ironically, it was to the week six years ago that I left Fox News. And he'll make a bloody fortune. Because he's interesting to listen to,” he told O’Connor.
He added, “Look, billoreilly.com is the most successful independent news agency in the world. Now, you'll never see that written in the Washington Post or anything like that because they despise me. But we built this from nothing into this colossus, this worldwide news organization. And I've never, you know, I would have people ask, 'Would you go back?' No, no. I don't want to work for anybody anymore.
