Gretchen Carlson tapped to lead the Miss America pageant through its harassment scandal

  • The former Fox News anchor will serve as chairwoman of the pageant’s board of directors to clean up the mess left by former CEO Sam Haskell, who resigned shortly before Christmas after his emails exposed his nasty comments about past Miss America winners. Carlson will be joined on the board by three other former Miss America winners. “Honored to move this iconic program forward with so many amazing volunteers,” Carlson tweeted in announcing the news.
