Garrison Keillor, the former host of "A Prairie Home Companion," was fired on Wednesday by Minnesota Public Radio after the network received allegations of "inappropriate behavior" against the radio personality. Keillor told The Associated Press in a statement on Wednesday that he was fired over "a story that I think is more interesting and more complicated than the version MPR heard." And I cannot in conscience bring danger to a great organization I’ve worked hard for since 1969,” Keillor told AP. Keillor retired as host of his long-running public radio variety show in 2016. The show, built around a fictional Minnesota town called Lake Wobegon, started in 1974.
