The network announced Thursday that the host of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” will move to the 9 p.m. EST slot now that Kelly is leaving Fox News for a position with NBC News.
Kelly responded to the news on Twitter shortly after it was announced.
“Congratulations to my friend @TuckerCarlson on moving to the 9p slot at Fox!” Kelly tweeted. “This is a great decision by FNC & I will be cheering him on!”
