In the year 2000, Williams took over as host of NPR’s daily afternoon talk show Talk of the Nation. After he commented on The O’Reilly Factor in 2009, “Michelle Obama, you know, she’s got this Stokely Carmichael in a designer dress thing going,” NPR President and CEO Vivian Schiller ordered Fox News to stop referring to him as an NPR broadcaster. NPR terminated his contract on Wednesday, October 20, 2010, two days after he made anti-Muslim remarks. Some have questioned whether NPR fired Williams because he made the comments on Fox News rather than elsewhere.

After NPR announced his departure from the network in October 2010, Fox News offered him a new three-year contract worth $2 million (a “considerable” rise) and a larger role at the network.
