Just one day after his shocking ouster from Fox News after 14 years at the network, Tucker Carlson broke his silence and shared what the future holds for him. The immediate future, anyway.
A reporter with the Daily Mail is said to have spotted Tucker riding in a golf cart Tuesday night on his way out to dinner with his wife of 32 years, Susan.
The outlet reported that Carlson stopped for a brief chat with the reporter not far from his Boca Grande, Florida, home, a compound situated in an exclusive enclave of Florida’s Gasparilla Island.
“Retirement is going great,” Carlson chuckled. “I haven’t eaten dinner with my wife on a weeknight in seven years.”
Carlson, who shares four children with Susan, is said to have flashed a smile and joked when pressed about his future.
“Appetizers plus entree,” Tucker told the outlet before taking off on his golf cart.
The Daily Mail also reported that Carlson’s executive producer, Justin Wells (who also was recently axed from the network), was spotted at Carlson’s home. It’s unclear what they’re plotting next, but a source told the outlet that Carlson is not expected to do anything significant while his attorney negotiates Carlson’s exit package with the network.

Carlson had been at the helm of Tucker Carlson Tonight since 2016, and had been a fixture at the network since joining as a contributor in 2009. The 53-year-old’s exit came as a shock to everyone at the network, including him.
“Colleagues of Tucker are shocked and many found out about the news like the rest of the world, on Twitter,” a source told ET. “Tucker made no indication he was leaving to anyone and on Friday told everyone he’d see them Monday for a new show. People at Fox News are looking for answers as to what happened and are waiting to hear.”
