Fox News has seen its share of embarrassing headlines in recent weeks—most of which involve the network’s shoddy reporting and inconsistent relationship with the truth. And when it comes to reporting on major stories that involve or impact the network in some way, Seth Meyers said Wednesday that “the last people to hear about it are usually the people who watch Fox News.”
In fact, the Late Night host imagines that there were likely a handful of confused octogenarians watching Brian Kilmeade fill in for the freshly ousted Tucker Carlson earlier this week, and wondering why Tucker looked so strange.
While the news that Fox was parting ways with Tucker sent shockwaves through the media industry on Monday, it’s becoming clear the network’s powers-that-be might have seen this break-up coming—or at least anticipated that Tucker could become a headache for them at some point.
