Shocking news broke on Monday, April 24th that long-time host Tucker Carlson was out at Fox News. While that story will be one to follow going forward, one pop culture theme immediately began to emerge as fans of Succession took to the internet to remark on how the move felt straight out of the HBO hit drama.
It’s a natural association to make as one major plot line through all three plus seasons so far has been the Roy family’s connection to ATN, a cable news network that shares a lot of similarities with 24-hour stations like Fox News.

Kerry Castellabate (Zoe Winters), Logan Roy’s mistress/assistant, became a topic of ridicule in the second episode of Season 4 as she put forth an all-time cringe audition to become an ATN host. Well, the internet made the connection and the jokes were free-flowing.

Last night’s Succession with ATN being included in the deal followed by Tucker Carlson being fired today is the chef kiss of all chef kisses.
