At least 26 advertisers have pulled their ads from Tucker Carlson’s primetime Fox News show following the host’s Dec. 13  comments in which he said that immigrants to the United States made the country “poorer” and “dirtier.”

On Wednesday Norwegian Cruise Line told TheWrap in a statement: “Our ads will no longer appear during that program.”

The announcement came just hours after Red Lobster said it too was pulling its ads from the show.

“Red Lobster’s advertising buying guidelines reflect our core values and commitment to supporting programming that represents the highest standards of good taste, fair practice and objectivity,” the company said in a statement to TheWrap on Tuesday.
