Allegations surrounding Carlson’s staff culture and comments about Fox colleagues, as partly revealed in the Dominion case, are also believed to have played roles in his sudden departure from the network.Carlson has not publicly commented on his firing in nearly 24 hours since it was announced.
In 2000, Carlson arrived at CNN on the heels of an impressive career as a columnist for the Weekly Standard, New York and Reader’s Digest. His 1999 interview with Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush in Talk magazine earned him praise as Carlson captured the Texas governor frequently using the f-word and appearing to mock a female death-row inmate who was executed in Bush’s home state.
During the course of the episode, Stewart and Carlson went back and forth in a conversation that was funny, and at times uncomfortable. Carlson questioned Stewart’s interview with Kerry, describing the faux newsman as a “butt boy” for the Democratic nominee. Stewart laughed at Carlson comparing “The Daily Show” to “Crossfire,” considering that the lead-in for the Comedy Central program was “Crank Yankers,” which Stewart accurately described as “puppets making crank phone calls.
Begala recalled in 2015 how excited he was to have Stewart on the show, and how the co-host’s wife, Diane, was excited to watch.
