2017 starts off with a BANG! as FOX NEWS executives will announce Tucker Carlson replaces the vacating Megyn Kelly at 9 PM ET, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
The dramatic move caps Carlson's rapid rise at the nation's top-rated cable channel.

"Tucker has already proven to be an audience powerhouse at 7 PM, now sky is the limit!" an insider explains.
"FOX NEWS will not be tamed."
In recent weeks, the Carlson show hit #1 audience and demo with a mix of explosive interviews and hard-hitting topics.
Timing isn't everything in the business, it's the only thing, and Carlson arrives just as the Trump presidency begins.
The broadcast wunderkind previously anchored shows on CNN, MSNBC and PBS.
Developing...
[Have Fox and others, gotten the idea/reason Tucker has been successful?]
I think they do now.
Trump bashing does not result in good ratings!
He earned that slot. This is great news.
Looks as if Fox has decided to not commit suicide after all. But they were definitely headed in that direction by letting Meagain run wild with her anti-Trump stunts and some of their Rino “expert” commentators.
Meagain leaving is the best thing to happen to Fox in many years, whether or not their decision makers realize it.
Her name is Megyn Couric - look it up.
Perhaps it’s a bad idea, Will turns my stomach. Bad optics.
This is really well done and needs to be seen.

Great move! Now Tucker and Lou Dobbs won’t be competing at the same time slot.
Another notch in Trumps gun. Meg Kelly was so cock sure she could take Trump out. Now she is just another pile of smelly road kill decapitated by the Trump Train.
You can’t cuck the Tuck!
I love that look too! I said that just last night. He doesn’t have to say anything. That look says it all:”do you really believe yourself? Are you sure you don’t want to take that back before the whole world realizes what a total whack job you are?” LOVE HIM.
I quit watching him because it is too intense
His popularity will decline as he is unable to attract good guests. Like Rush says.... why bother
“I love that confused look Tucker gets on his face when some guest is trying to sell some crap. A cross between being confused and a shat eating grin. Priceless.”
Yes, it’s like his face is saying “oh goody, time to cut this ba$tard to shreds!”
Great, now who gets the 7pm slot?
I saw Katie on a "panel" discussion on a recent political show - trying to pretend she was something special and not someone who has fallen from the very top to the very bottom. Megyn will soon follow that path.
He is a master at letting them take enough line to set the hook. Very quick to pickup on their recited dogma and then pointing out their cult.
Thor’s hammer.
