‘Situation’ Severs Ties With Severin

Jay Severin is off MSNBC’s ‘Situation with Tucker Carlson.’ Sunday’s Page Six makes it sound like Severin wanted to leave: Their sources say he “didn’t enjoy the commute from his home in Sag Harbor to the TV show’s studio in New Jersey.”

But the suggestion that leaving the Situation was Severin’s decision is a “complete absolute lie,” an insider tells TVNewser. In fact, he’s been banned from the network: “You won’t see him on MSNBC again,” the source says. (And based on Severin’s actions in Secaucus, “we were shocked to read in Page Six that he has a wife and daughter,” the insider adds…)
