April 22 (UPI) -- Tucker Carlson is to interview Caitlyn Jenner for Monday's edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight on the Fox News Channel.

Carlson announced Friday that he had booked the Olympian, author and transgender reality-television star, who is also a political conservative, for a sit-down chat to air next week.

Carlson's news and analysis program is moving from its 9 p.m. time-slot to the 8 p.m. spot, which was left vacant when Bill O'Reilly was ousted from the cable network, following public fury regarding sexual harassment allegations against the 20-year host of The O'Reilly Factor.

The Five -- hosted by Kimberly Guilfoyle, Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino and Bob Beckel -- will move from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., without longtime panelist Eric Bolling, who is getting his own 5 p.m. show, starting May 1.

Jesse Watters will be replacing Bolling at The Five table.

Gutfeld hosted the final edition of The Factor Friday.
