Fox News has reportedly sent a "cease and desist" letter to Tucker Carlson following the massive success of the first two episodes of his new show on Twitter.

According to Axios, the letter has "NOT FOR PUBLICATION" boldly written at the top. Carlson's Twitter show has garnered 169 million views, with the first episode alone raking in 114.6 million views and the second episode viewed 54.6 million times.

Carlson was taken off-air in April amid Fox News' Dominion settlement and has been in a contract battle with the news organization. After his Fox show was canceled, he began hosting an abbreviated version of the show on the platform. Fox News is still paying Carlson, claiming the host's content must remain exclusive to the news corporation through Dec. 31, 2024. However, Carlson argues that his First Amendment rights allow him to post material on social media. He has also suggested that Fox is guilty of material breaches of his contract.

While Carlson's show has exclusively been made up of monologues, it appears that he plans to have guests on the show soon. Carlson's executive producer, Justin Wells, tweeted: "New Episode of Tucker on Twitter coming Tuesday: Tucker's response to the indictment of President Donald Trump."

When Carlson was on Fox News, his show frequently occupied the top spot on cable news, often reeling in more than 4.5 million viewers per episode. His performance debuted on the network in 2016, and it was quickly given the much-desired 8 pm EST time slot in 2017. Carlson's first monologue episode on Twitter brought in more than 25 times the number of viewers than his average viewership on Fox.
