Fox News Moving Tucker Carlson to Megyn Kelly’s Timeslot
Breitbart ^ | January 5,2017 | by DANIEL NUSSBAUM

Newly arrived Fox News host Tucker Carlson will take over the coveted 9 p.m. time-slot left by the departure of Megyn Kelly, who is heading to NBC later this year.

The 47-year-old host of Tucker Carlson Tonight joined the network just two months ago as a replacement for outgoing host Greta van Susteren. His 7 p.m. show has been a hit, averaging 2.8 million total viewers and posting strong ratings in the key 18-49 demo, according to the Hollywood Reporter

.Carlson will begin hosting the 9 p.m. hour on Monday, January 9. Kelly’s last day at the network is Friday, January 6.

“In less than two months, Tucker has taken cable news by storm with his spirited interviews and consistently strong performance,” Fox News chief Rupert Murdoch said in a statement. “Viewers have overwhelmingly responded to the show and we look forward to him being a part of Fox News’ powerful primetime line-up.”

The move to 9 p.m. on cable’s most-watched network is Carlson’s biggest television gig yet; he hosted CNN’s The Spin Room and later, its innovative talk show Crossfire, before moving on to MSNBC for several years with his own show, called The Situation with Tucker Carlson, later renamed Tucker. In 2010, he founded the conservative news website The Daily Caller.

>>Another Trump Win<<

Tucker is great and it is always funny that people think they are smarter than he is. He ALWAYS does his homework and ALWAYS has his arguments ready.

In the meantime Megyn will sink like a rock over at No Body Cares network.

Thank goodness that Kelly is almost gone. Watched part of her show last night.
She could hardly compose herself every time a guest said good things about Trump. Her bias is disgusting.

“Kelly’s last day at the network is Friday, January 6. “

OK, EVERYBODY sing! “Happy Days are here again......”
“Ding Ding the b*tch is dead......”
“Bye Bye UnAmerican Dyke.......”

Pick one or any of the above tunes...this indeed calls for a BIG celebration!!!

Well she admits to being “BI” or having a BI thought process....at least she said that on Radio and or TV...and since she is trying to look the part, I feel safe in saying it aloud.

Good move! I hope Trucker can keep his edge and doing good hard hitting interviews! The minute he stops doing that—he’s finished. And please Trucker—no harping on Books Please—15 minutes of BOR show is how great his books are. A little self promotions OK like a bit of Corruption within the White House is OK—but Don’t over do it!

I didn’t know that she considers herself “bisexual”. And she is a mother married to a man. (Of course, if you have “bisexual” feelings, you can choose to do the right thing and live as a heterosexual!)

But that hairstyle MUST have been designed by a lesbian—or by a “gay” male!! PHOOEY!!!!

Nevertheless, her departure from Fox is another WIN for us Trump supporters!!!!

Good choice!

Carlson has a solid intellect and his debating skills are based on FACTS & TRUTH.

I’d prefer Fox to pay her out the contract term amount and get her off the show immediately. I am turning off Fox channel for fear of seeing her show inadvertently.
