Comedian Tyler Fischer, 38, has been blacklisted by Fox after being accused of harassing a young female employee at the network’s New York studios in January.
Fischer was set to appear on Gutfeld!, the network’s popular late-night show, but his appearance was canceled two weeks later. He claims he was unfairly accused and that the interaction with the woman was consensual.
According to Fischer, he asked the woman out for coffee during a visit to the network’s Manhattan HQ in January, but security approached him soon after and escorted him off the premises. The incident occurred when Fischer arrived early for a meeting and encountered the woman sitting at her desk.
However, a source close to the situation claims that Fischer forcibly put his phone number in the woman’s phone and then returned it, demanding to know if she had the number now. This account contradicts Fischer’s statement that the interaction was friendly and consensual.
Fischer has been a frequent guest on Gutfeld! over the past two years, but he believes he is a victim of a “woke mind virus” culture. He claims that his appearance was canceled due to an alleged harassment claim, which he denies.
Fox representatives have declined to comment on the matter. The incident is reminiscent of the network’s sexual harassment reckoning in 2017, when several male stars were accused of harassing female colleagues.
Fischer has hinted at taking legal action against Fox and has expressed his frustration with the situation.
