from all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc new thanks for staying up late for me, i ll see you tomorrow. chris hayes of the night, of he will be tomorrow night, thi is a special edition of jo scarborough tonight, including our interviews with presiden joe biden, former presiden bill clinton, former british prime minister tony blair, secretary of state hillary clinton, and many of the other architects of the 25-year-ol peace agreements in northern ireland. but we start tonight wit explosive news the announcement from fox news that right-wing host tucke carlson is out at the network. the surprisingly brief statement from fox reads, quote, fox news media and tucke carlson have agreed to par ways we thank him for his service t the network as a host and prio to that as a contributor some reports say carlson s depart was ordered by fo chairman rupert murdoch as early as friday. nbc hasn t confirmed the details, but you don t have to look far to find the reasons fox would
he is someone that didn believe many of the things h was saying on some of the most crucial stories, including one around the insurrection. so he was the guy who set th tone and tenor and temperament and the ideological course for fox news again, during one of th most political periods i recent history it s that big buckle phrase come at the hour come at the man. trump tower came and he brough tucker carlson along with him. that combination of timing and tucker s ability to seize on a incredibly freighted incendiary, the kind o rhetoric that fermented, fanned, fueled all of the worst an most dangerous impulses in american political life. that was his power it s hard to remember another time when a host, news host, getting fired was a shocking as what happene today. let s figure out exactly how i went down. let s bring in the guy who broke the story on how it went down l. a. times television reporte steve but tallheo. steve, you said this call came straight from the top, top ex
