Gretchen Elizabeth Carlson (born June 21, 1966) is an American former television commentator, journalist, and author.
She was named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People In The World in 2017.
Carlson was the 1989 Miss America while representing her native state of Minnesota.
She graduated from Stanford University with honors before embarking on a career in television.
Gaining experience as anchor and reporter for several local network affiliates, she joined CBS News as a correspondent in 2000 and became the co-host of the Saturday edition of The Early Show.
In 2005, she moved to Fox News Channel and became the co-host of the morning show Fox & Friends along with Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade.
In 2013, she announced her departure from Fox & Friends and soon thereafter launched a new program called The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson.
Her autobiography, Getting Real, was published in 2015 by Viking.
Her second book, Be Fierce: Stop Harassment and Take Your Power Back was published by Hachette in 2017 and became a New York Times Bestseller. Her contract with Fox News expired on June 23, 2016.
On July 6, she filed a lawsuit against then Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes claiming sexual harassment.
Subsequently, dozens of other women also stepped forward to accuse Ailes of harassment, and Ailes was forced to resign under pressure.
In September 2016, Carlson and 21st Century Fox settled the lawsuit for $20 million.
