It’s official: Bill O’Reilly is out at Fox News.
An internal memo has confirmed the news:

With O’Reilly out, and the coveted 8 PM slot now wide open, there needs to be a replacement.
Fox has decided to put Tucker Carlson in the 8 PM slot:
NPR can report that @TuckerCarlson will take O'Reilly's 8 p.m. slot. A new generation takes over the most valuable real estate in cable news

Carlson is a tough-as-nails interviewer who always holds liberals’ feet to the fire in epic takedown interviews.
I hope he does the network proud in his new spot.
The 9 PM slot will be taken over by the roundtable show “The Five”:

Eric Bolling will also be anchoring an hour-long program:

Do you like this new Fox lineup? Should somebody else take over for O’Reilly?
