Two major TV personalities are out of work on the very same day.

Fox News announced that Tucker Carlson is out of his primetime show. He had his last show on Friday night.

And then, moments later, CNN announced that it had parted ways with its morning show anchor Don Lemon after 17 years at the network.

CNN had moved Lemon from his solo primetime show to a morning program CNN This Morning, with two co-anchors, Poppy Harlow, and Kaitlan Collins.

On today's Ask The Expert, Dr. Bob Thompson joined us. He's a pop culture expert and the head of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University.
