Monday’s news that Tucker Carlson is no longer at Fox News was a shocker for many, but his departure may have had the most impact on Twitter.
Although Fox News hasn’t yet shared the reason for Carlson’s unexpected exit, many Twitter users were inspired by the time-honored spirit of “schadenfreude,” that delectable German word that means finding joy in others’ misfortune, and let their snark flag fly.

Will he go to OAN? Will he go back to the Daily Caller which he sold his stake in 3 years ago? Will Ben Shapiro offer him Steven Crowder money? Will he please just shut the fuck up and go away forever? https://t.co/ZZ0n7zVVuc

If Fox News can break up with Tucker Carlson, maybe today is the day you break up that toxic relationship you're in.

Meanwhile, some suggested the news would have a big effect on the Kremlin.

Has to be a powerful reason for such an abrupt reason.

Meanwhile, there must be great concern over this…in the Kremlin. https://t.co/MEH2Se5Qd7
Which Russian state media didn’t do much to dispute.
Hey @TuckerCarlson, you can always question more with @RT_com
