Late Tuesday afternoon, Tucker Carlson announced he will be coming back to do the same show he’s been doing the last 6-1/2 years, but not on Fox News.
Instead, he will be doing it on Twitter:

Due to Twitter’s battles with Substack, I’m unable to post the video directly here, sorry.
Carlson has apparently worked some sort of deal with Elon Musk to host his program on the Twitter platform, confirming rumors that have been circulating for several days now.
Cool.
This will be fun.
That is all.
***UPDATE***
Axios reporting now that Carlson is accusing Fox News of fraud and breach of contract, which enables him to take his show to Twitter:
Excerpt from that story:
Tucker Carlson, two weeks after being ousted by Fox News, accused the network Tuesday of fraud and breach of contract — and made a host of document demands that could precede legal action.
Why it matters: The aggressive letter from his lawyers to Fox positions Carlson to argue that the noncompete provision in his contract is no longer valid — freeing him to launch his own competing show or media enterprise.
On Tuesday, Carlson announced he would be bringing his show to Twitter.
"Starting soon we'll be bringing a new version of the show we've been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter," he said in the video. "We bring some other things too, which we'll tell you about. But for now we're just grateful to be here. Free speech is the main right that you have. Without it, you have no others."
The intrigue: The Twitter move would seem to technically violate Carlson's contract with Fox, but his lawyers' letter effectively holds that Fox breached the contract first.
Sources told Axios that Carlson's lawyers sent their letter before he took to Twitter to announce his new show.

Fun!
Great news! Boy we need some good news!
Great news.
