The anchor was told of the network’s decision on Monday morning, and his senior executive producer, Justin Wells, was also out of a job.Ī Fox spokeswoman said Mr. Carlson was given no heads-up that his time at Fox News was drawing to an end, according to two people with knowledge of the timing of the conversation.
