BROOKHAVEN, PA — One of the most popular television show hosts in the nation is out despite generating big ratings, and his last guest was the viral Delaware County pizza delivery man who helped police nab a suspect.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson was let go from the media company Monday amid tumult surrounding a massive lawsuit filed against the company over false election claims.

Carlson, whose show was one of the most viewed current event programs in the nation, hosted his last show Friday.

Morell gave Carlson the rundown on Cocco's, saying it is in Aston, Delaware County.

"Delaware County," Carlson said. "Best part of the state."

Whatever good grace Carlson may have earned by talking up Delco, he may have squandered by giving his pizza order: sausage and pineapple.

"As a pizza professional, do you look down on this order," he asked Morell.

"I do, I consider it criminal," he replied, with Carlson bursting out laughing.

"You're right, it is a disgusting order," Carlson said. "But I have no shame."

Morell told Carlson he suffered a bone bruise from his viral incident in which he tripped up a teenage car theft suspect in Brookhaven Sunday, April 16.

"It's not too bad though," Morell said.
