I don’t think Tucker is all that funny.
Rush tried late night tv for a bit. Not really sure why he quit though. Maybe the radio was his cash cow and the late nights took too much away from that?
Rush himself used to talk often about why he gave up tv. He didn’t like it. He said it just didn’t allow him the spontaneity and rapid jump from thought to thought that he enjoyed in radio.
Rush’s explanation was that the TV show was aired at varying times in syndication and could not gain traction in the ratings.
