"Lou Dobbs Tonight" is off the air, effective immediately, a Fox spokesperson confirmed. An interim show will take Dobbs' place at 5 and 7 p.m. Eastern starting Monday.It was a head-scratching change by Fox Business, since Dobbs was its highest-rated host, albeit on a relatively low-rated network. He often doubled his lead-in's ratings, which is a rare feat in television.Dobbs, a veteran financial news anchor, became known at Fox Business for his sycophantic pro-Trump programs.
The Los Angeles Times, which broke the news, said Dobbs"remains under contract at Fox News but he will in all likelihood not appear on the company's networks again."This is something known in the TV business as"pay or play" -- a network can opt to keep paying a host but not put them on TV, keeping them out of the hands of rival outlets.Voting technology company Smartmatic files $2.
Hope Dobbs got fired by a tweet, while he was on air! All the best firing happen that way!!!
He speaks his mind. Unlike CNN commentators who are incapable of an independent thought.
Billion dollar lawsuits, when your on the losing end, makes these decisions easy. They don't call him Lyon Lou for nothing.
How come you didn’t write about that, Sean?
CORRUPT can't deal with hearing the truth so they silence the country from hearing it!! We are headed to ( propaganda) only!! The China way!!! This is not America and we must rise up against it!!
Lies and conspiracies like the Russian hoax we had to listen to for four because the Clinton campaign paid millions for a phony dossier. How about the true Hunter Biden story that was censored before Election Day. Democrats would never win if it weren’t for their media employees
Bad move.
trying to relieve a portion of the 2.7B lawsuit.
Just a reminder that he worked for CNN in the 2000's and he was just as terrible as he is today. You don't get a pass on this one either
Bye Fox
FOX is doing all they can to limit the damage from the lawsuit. I hope it ruins them all
I can see Monday’s headlines now: Are things getting better or worse over at Fox News?! They cancel Lou Dobbs, a Prick, only to replace him with Assman 😁. ( I mean why not David Proctologist right ?! )😁. Seriously though why would anyone go through life with such a name?! 😁
Dobbs was the worst journalist in the Fox’s history. He was fired for racist, liar and dishonest.
He's an embarrassment.
I tune in sometimes to FOX and hear this guy back up tRump on every thing...sickening to me because I use to think he was level headed. I am glad he is gone. He is hard to look at anymore. I think that network scraps the bottom of the barrel for stuff to air. Not sorry, Lou. Bye.
I really want this thing to go to court, I don't want this to end up with a settlement like what happened when Seth Rich's family sued Fox News for defamation (they settled out of court for a 7 figure sum) I want these fuckers under oath admitting that they knew this was a lie
Thanks
Its not head scratching, the network is getting sued into the ground. Itll be the the RealNickSandman thing, but actually in defense of the truth and not just using a child with an underbite as a political prop.
Good riddance
👍👏
He is 75. Perhaps this has nothing to do with politics?
All “news” shows must be held to higher standard whether liberal or conservative. Why does it seem conservatives seem to think the only way to get support is to promote lies & conspiracies? Can’t their beliefs be honestly presented or are they so weak they would be unsupported?
It's about time and hopefully they're just getting started over there at Fox
Fox enabled him and now they want to try to look innocent? Fox is guilty!
'Head scratching'? Seriously lol where have you been? Under a rock? No surprises here...this is why CNN sucks.
Praise the lord! Barteromo is next!!! Just wish I was in the jury 🙋♂️
You know your making George Orwell proud when you happy that your shutting people up. I remember when we let people say dumb shit and look into the facts ourselves and laughed at them. Now we just act like sheep smiling and going along with where ever we are lead
Cnn is next
Never heard of him. They have others that need to go.
I fear Fox is clearing a time slot for the “Trump Show” nightmare... I mean season two!
Not head scratching’ at all. FOX: Lou stop lyin’ will ya? LOU: No.
Fox needs to be off the air.
About time
The show is Lou Dobbs tonight it’s hardly anything to do with business it’s more about conflict and one sided politics...it’s quite surprising that he’s married to a Mexican..
It’s about time. This elderly man should be looking at his life a little more closely, he’s not getting younger. Why tell lies ? Trump is just using him as a sounding board, nobody is impress by the lies. Be upright and tell the truth, look at your age. Do you even care ?
Cancel culture!!! Lol 😆 🤣
Yet they keep HANITY on the Air Thats the true FoxNews FOX
So, 'Lou Dobbs Tonight ' has been cancelled. All I can say is goodbye, good luck and don't let the door hit you in the ass.
They could replace the entire show with a repeating animated GIF of a bag of dicks on fire, and no one would notice.
Well done 👍✅
The dinosaurs are going extinct.
Conspiracy theories are not news Good for Fox.
So disgusted with Fox News
Is Carlron Tucker next? We can only hope. This is why Fox is in last place in ratings. It's like putting your trust in The National Inquiry Lol
That ain’t shit compared to 1921 when the Military dropped bombs on my Ancestors in Tulsa so fuck that riot talk about 1921 of the genocide of a people in Tulsa Oklahoma from the Government and the KKK or have y’all forgot about that
Lying is expensive.
Al Sullivan's Journal: Nothing to fear but fear itself – and CNN
Seems fair. He was as fun to watch as a vasectomy
Thank you CNN The Commie News Network for celebrating the declining health of free speech and destruction of the USA.
Lou is a loon toon--FOX knows he will not do well in a deposition
Foxes ratings have tanked anyway sooooo.....
Low rated network !!! You got beat by Nickelodeon.
Really good riddance . The airwaves are distinctly cleaner tonight LouDobbs
Gonna Miss You LOU! Kinda Like a Richard Dawson & A Lemonheads Kid..With A Kool-aid Smile...Any NEXT..actor..For the Plandemic!
FarmersProtest SpeakUpForNodeep
Let's help the Indigenous Mozambique by donating and retweeting this campaign 👏they really need help!😭😭
Luo Dobbs remember that whatever goes up must one come down, so is your time
It was about time !!!! Fox News should not be allowed to spread lies enough is enough to much garbage 😡😡😡😡😡😡
Shutting up any and all Trump supporters seanhannity next
Good riddance, his entire platform spews lies & Anti democratic propaganda, he's a major liability for Fox News with the defamation law suits coming that could put them out of business for good
Buh Bye you liar.
Your ratings blow anyway. Replacement will out do you also!!!
You didn't hear this from me, but DOGE to the moon SuperBowl
Really you people are MEAN I hope soon it comes back to them
Good riddance to rubbish.
Another one bites the dust. So much losing
Watch Absolute Truth. They will be counter suing
There’s a cost to defamatory remarks Lou!
Glad to see the Conservative party and it’s network clearing house.
Wait, so you can’t just make up any lies you want on a news program? Huh, who knew
fox needs more than dobbs to account for all the carnage they have caused. we need an honest conservative voice, not fox. it created more than 50% of the current chaos. 1st amendment needs truth to work
He got a little too close to truth. Oh well, no use kicking a dead horse. RIP Fox News.
Don't understand why Fox news OAN . News Max haven't been charged with spreading dangerous Lies , Lies about Covid 19 led to the Death's of ten's of thousands of people , like it's a HOAX, and it's no worse than flu, and masks make you sick and Doctors falsifying the Death toll.
Is this true?
And again, all that had to be done is an audit by a bipartisan committee of the election. Then both sides would be mostly satisfied and it would be a new beginning. But Dems afraid to pursue an audit make themselves more suspicious. So they’re contributing to the lie.
About bloody time. Now they need get rid of the rest like the super twat Tucker Carlson.
Good riddance.
T C gotta go too !!!
The interim show is....At home with Lou Dobbs and his illegal wife and illegal mother in law
CNN, Strange, normally when an employee is named in a serious & costly lawsuit, the company defends the employee in court to eliminate the employee from testifying against the company. Very strange Fox News would terminate his employment, THIS CAN ONLY GET WORSE for Fox News
Anyone NOT watching CNN knows why. Massive slander lawsuit Fox just might lose
No head scratching about it. This was part of the beginning out of court settlements between SmartMatic & Fox News of the former's 2.7 Billion Dollar lawsuit!
Do you need a tissue Lou? I guess this is the result of zero fact-checking, ass-kissing, fealty to a man who could care less if you fell in a ditch, and were mauled by alligators. Devotion with Trump is a ONE-WAY STREET
Most Americans don’t want the government to pit one race against another. But that's what Democrats are good at. Their political strategy is mainly pitting one race against another, and stoking racial division — The Dems bring race into every subject every chance they get.
OMG! You can catch his 2nd act on INFOWARS, OAN , and 8Chan.
Wonder what kind of dirt Smartmatic lawyers found? 🤔
On an upbeat note the new show will feature a dunking stool, handcuffs, and several large vats of Karo syrup.
In this political atmosphere it’s about time...I tune in Fox at least once a day, to give it a chance...the Trump garbage I find is both amazing and appalling at the same time...Dobbs was just a parrot spewing the lies and damaging hype...was once trusted by me...never more...
a relatively low-rated network? Their ratings were higher than y'all's. What does that make CNN... PBS?
I can’t wait for Smartmatic Tonight and Dominion Pillows.
Who?
It’s not head scratching, the man is a liability.

Love Lou
Looks like Fox understands that they have no case and will have to pay out the nose in these lawsuits.
Let's review folks. Freedom of Speech does not mean private corporations have to give you a platform. You can say whatever you want, but that doesn't mean you are free of repercussions. This is about money folks. If advertisers were willing to pay, Dobbs would still be there.
The world 🌎 is a better place 👿 fake
Listening to Dobbs would give me chest pain and a headache , enough of this deplorable sham of blemish on journalism
Donna could still end up in prison , so my friend at the Capitol says, yep prison
Finally!!! Thank Dob
Great move. I think this was one of the highest rated shows. CNN should grab him so they can create credibility.
-- foxnews will remove LouDobbs; running scared over a lawsuit...But not for being a lying, seditious conspirator.
I can think of 2.7 billion reasons.
“It was a head-scratching change by Fox Business, since Dobbs was its highest-rated host, albeit on a relatively low-rated network.” THE SHADE
People like him often find that who they 'think they are' when compared to reality,do differ noticeably 👀
And they will replace him with a white female Lou Dobbs
Dobbs refused to retract and apologize to Dominion and Smartmatic, clearly.
‘Head scratching’ he was sacrificed because of the &2.7 trillion lawsuit against Fox. Hopefully they’ll be sued into oblivion
how is this head scratching ? 2.7 billion dollar lawsuit, plus maybe more otw will do that.
Good riddance. Now hoping the rest of the Fox liars are next.
Interesting they didn't allow him a final show in which to say his goodbyes...they must be really afraid of what nonsense may come out of his mouth.
