In July 2016, Keillor performed his final show at the Hollywood Bowl and turned the show over to Chris Thile, Twincities.com reports.
The AP reports Keillor was still producing "The Writer's Almanac" for syndication.
"Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) is terminating its contracts with Garrison Keillor and his private media companies after recently learning of allegations of his inappropriate behavior with an individual who worked with him," the station wrote in a statement published Wednesday morning. "Last month, MPR was notified of the allegations which relate to Mr. Keillor's conduct while he was responsible for the production of A Prairie Home Companion (APHC)."
