His career is over.
https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/aug/15/tucker-carlson-biography-chadwick-moore
According to Publishers Weekly, Tucker by Chadwick Moore sold just 3,227 copies in its first week after publication on 1 August.
Carlson cooperated with his biographer, giving extensive interviews. Moore promised to tell Carlson’s side of the story regarding his shock ejection by Fox last April, in the aftermath of a $787.5m settlement between the rightwing network and Dominion Voting Systems, regarding the broadcast of Donald Trump’s election fraud lies.
In the book, Carlson says he “knows” he was removed from the air as a condition of the settlement. Fox News and Dominion both strongly deny that.
Moore’s biography contains much more on Carlson’s controversial career as a face of the American hard right, much of it trailed or reported on by outlets including the Guardian.
Striking passages include Carlson denying being racist but saying to be so is not a crime, and the host’s defence of using the word “****”, a preference which came up in the Dominion case regarding a description of Sidney Powell, a lawyer advising Trump about supposed electoral fraud.
In Moore’s biography, Carlson says the abusive term is “one of my favorite words … super naughty, but it’s to the point”.
