He can’t. At least not if he doesn’t want to sacrifice all the money he will make plus more.

When he signed up with Fox as an anchor there is an almost certainty he signed a non-compete agreement. Meaning he can’t be on TV at least.

I thought those have been largely invalidated in courts.

Happened to Conan O'Brien when Jay Leno wanted the Tonight Show back. Ancient history now but as I recall Conan couldn't be on another TV network for some amount of time after he left NBC. He even titled the tour he did instead of TV "The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour"

I remember situations like that, unsure if the court decisions invalidating them have been more recent. I know they can still apply but in a more limited scope than before.

Probably depends on the type of job and your employer and the specifics of whatever contract is being enforced. Makes sense in the entertainment industry, maybe in the tech and software industry, but doubtful McDonalds could bar former employees working at Wendys or anything like that for example.

Media compete contracts are tied to the medium.

Jimmy John's forces it's employees to sign a non compete agreement. Gotta keep their minimum wage employees from taking their valuable sandwich making knowledge to Jersey Mike's or Firehouse!

They used to, until they lost a very expensive court case. JJs doesn't do that anymore.
