A significant transformation is underway within the media landscape as a notable group of individuals formerly associated with Fox News have broken away to join Tucker Carlson’s new Twitter show. Chadwick Moore, the author of an upcoming biography about Carlson, has revealed this development, which follows the controversial dismissal of former Fox producer Alex McCaskill, triggering a wave of departures that hints at an imminent industry upheaval.
The exodus began when Alex McCaskill, a longstanding producer at Fox, was let go after a screen caption criticized President Biden. Moore took to Twitter to share that McCaskill would soon be reuniting with Carlson, accompanied by at least two other former producers.
Moore emphasized the strong bond within Carlson’s team at Fox, with many members having been part of the show since its inception. He also noted that several familiar faces from “Tucker Carlson Tonight” are now refusing to appear on Fox News, not just those who were blacklisted for writing a book about him. In a tweet on Saturday, Moore stated:
“The Based Chyron Guy, Alex McCaskill, was a former Tucker Carlson Tonight producer who has now left Fox News after ten years, en route to joining Tucker’s new team,” Moore wrote in a tweet Saturday. “He is one of at least three former producers who have left Fox to join Tucker’s new venture.”
“Tucker Carlson’s team at Fox was extremely close. Most of them were there from the launch of the show until it’s end, and they’ve stood by their boss in the aftermath. I write about it in my book,” the biographer wrote in a follow-up tweet. “Also, quietly, many familiar faces from Tucker Carlson Tonight are refusing to appear on Fox News since Tucker was bizarrely pulled off the air—and not just the ones who got blacklisted for writing a book about him!”
Moore later tweeted that nine former staff members of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” left Fox News to join Carlson’s new project. More employees are eagerly waiting to join Carlson’s team, actively seeking opportunities to work with him.
“My sources have now told me *NINE* former Tucker Carlson Tonight staffers have left Fox News to join Tucker on his next venture,” Moore announced. “There are others who are waiting to leave as soon as a role opens up for them with Tucker. Each of the 9 approached Tucker, not the other way around.”

In a recent media industry shakeup, a significant faction of individuals previously employed by Fox News has reportedly left the network to join Tucker Carlson on his new Twitter show. According to Chadwick Moore, the author of an upcoming biography on Carlson, this mass departure began when Alex McCaskill, a longstanding Fox producer, was dismissed following on-screen criticism of President Biden. Notable figures from Fox and former members of the “Tucker Carlson Tonight” team have chosen to stand by Carlson, demonstrating not only their loyalty but also their shared interest in embarking on this new venture.
Tucker Carlson lost me when he began his snide attacks on Ukraine. I hope for his professional demise.
Maybe Bud Lite can sponsor a Dylan Mulvaney show at Fox News…
By all means this is a risky step by Mr. Carlson, for he will have not only the entire MSM against him, but also Fox. Will we see another David vs. Goliath match and another outstanding victory for David? I think so.
They (FOX) lost way More than just the 9+/- people! They have LOST MILLIONS OF VIEWERS! Don’t think many will be coming back!
Ever since Ryan came onboard been going steadily downhill.
