Tucker Carlson Claims FOX News Made Him 'Fat'
WLAC ^ | 6/24/2025 | Jason Hall

Posted on 06/24/2025 1:38:18 PM PDT by marcusmaximus

Former FOX News host Tucker Carlson claims he "got fat" due to the demand of his former job while discussing it with former colleague Clayton Morris on his YouTube show Monday (June 23).

“I just got fat,” Carlson said. “It’s incredibly hard physically. Everything about it is the hardest job I ever had.”

Morris added that "people get cancer regularly" from working in "miserable" morning television during the discussion. Carlson's comment was the latest in his apparent rift with his former employer since his departure in April 2024.

"What they’re doing is what they always do, which is just turning up the propaganda hose to full blast and just trying to, you know, knock elderly Fox viewers off their feet and make them submit to where you want them to," Carlson said while appearing on former Trump advisor Steve Bannon's podcast Bannon's War Room on Monday (June 16) amid criticism of broadcaster Mark Levin.

Makes sense. Lack of sleep, constantly getting that cortisol and adrenaline bump, lots og booze for many, lots of eating out or grabbing some carryout on the way home...very little down time foe exercise.

A lot of work falls into that zone.

At least he doesn’t have to go down in a coal mine or work on a garbage truck.

I’ve always liked Tucker, but lately, he’s full of it. Maybe that’s why he’s getting fat.

Boy, when he took the blue pill, he went all in.

Liberals always point the finger at everyone else for their own problems.

“I just got fat,” Carlson said. “It’s incredibly hard physically. Everything about it is the hardest job I ever had.”

Meanwhile I pass road crew workers out in 100*F temps. on hot asphalt.

The good ole “Fox Chick Channel” of Roger Ailes was a place to browse ‘breasts and legs’ that appeared either side of the clothing worn by females.

Then of course there were tight dresses I watched Gretchen Carlson one day and figured “I can’t watch this anymore”.

And I stopped watching.

Roger Ailes had an eye for female talent.

My perception of Tucker Carlson is that he's UNKNOWINGLY reached an UNCONSCIOUS point of NOT being AWARE of the fact that he's really just CAUGHT UP in his OWN "SELF_IMPORTANCE!"

I love it when people blame the problems they create for themselves on other people.

He can lose weight, but he'll always be a fat head to me.

never forget that Tucker was the only one on Fox willing to expose truth.... while neoCON turds like Levin try to claim they’re the ‘real’ maga...after they did everything they could to stop Trump in the first place.

This Tucker Carlson?

Tucker Carlson ‘told colleague he “hated Trump passionately” and was excited about not having to cover him after 2020 election loss,’ court filings claim
