Tucker Carlson is back.
Sort of, at least.
While his presence on cable news remains sorely missed by millions, the dethroned Fox News (FNC) host is poised to speak publicly for the first time since his dismissal by network executives.
As Mediaite's Candice Oritz reports:
According to The Daily Caller, a website Carlson co-founded in 2010, Carlson will give a speech at an Alabama fundraiser for the Rainbow Omega foundation.
Rainbow Omega is an organization that aims to help adults with “developmental and intellectual disabilities.” The fundraiser will take place at the Oxford Performing Arts Center in Oxford, Alabama.
This appearance will be the first public event Carlson has attended since his abrupt exit from Fox News last Monday. Multiple sources told Mediaite that he was fired.
Rumors have swirled since the shocking cable news shakeup, but no specific reason for his termination has been confirmed.
The news follows leaked video footage by Media Matters for America of Carlson's behind-the-scenes banter with FNC employees and TV personalities while the cameras were rolling but he wasn't on-air.
However, even some of his harshest critics argue the footage amounts to a big ole nothing burger.

Great news! Wish I could be there, but I’m certain that very soon, he will be back in a regular timeslot somewhere that isn’t afraid of hearing the truth!! And with his millions of supporters right there with him. And FOX News can just continue on their slide to that dark hot place where they belong!!
I don’t need to know what Tucker does in his time off the air. All I need to hear is his take on news or whatever he wants to talk about. FOX shows how little they are sneaking around and taping him when he didn’t know it so they could hopefully use it to smear him. I don’t miss them at all, news is everywhere.
