There have been questions on whether the beleaguered host will remain on air while remarks he made during appearances on the 'Bubba the Love Sponge Show' several years ago are unearthed.
Fox News has denied claims by one of its own hosts that Tucker Carlson was due to take a vacation amid the ongoing controversy surrounding historic comments he made on a shock jock radio show.
Confusion spread when Carlson signed off from his Tucker Carlson Tonight show on March 12, handing over to fellow Fox News host Sean Hannity. "I got to give you a compliment,” Hannity said: “So Tucker was going to be off this week…but it becomes a busy news week and he's not going to take the mob's crap. And he came in to work to stand up to this, and I want the great viewers of this channel to know that.”“I’m an expert in this, they’ve been trying to kill me for 23 years,” Hannity said."Anyway, always great to see you and have a great rest of vacation that you were supposed to have.
A Fox News spokesperson later confirmed to Newsweek that Carlson is"not going on vacation this week or next."
