Tucker Carlson (Fox News screen grab)
With the massive news this afternoon that Bill OReilly is officially out at Fox News, Fox has now announced that Tucker Carlson will be taking the coveted 8 pm slot.
Tucker Carlson Tonight will be moving up from 9 pm, which will now be the home of The Five, co-hosted by Kimberly Guilfoyle, Dana Perino, Bob Beckel, Greg Gutfeld, Jesse Watters, and Juan Williams.

Eric Bolling will be getting the 5 pm slot on May 1st. Next week Foxs Special Report with Bret Baier will be on next week from 5-7 PM.
Martha MacCallums 7 pm program The First 100 Days will change its name after those first 100 days to The Story with Martha MacCallum.
Sean Hannity remains in his 10 pm timeslot.

the Five at night? I can’t stand that show. Why didn’t they bring Lou Dobbs over?
Not the Five? Sheesh.
I was just starting like Orielly with Trump as president.
Waters at 9:00 would be great.
I tape Hannity often watch Lou Dobbs and Hannity later.
The Five will bomb in that slot.
Same here
Hope they send P-rino to a presentation skills or speech class. The woman cannot complete a full sentence without ‘errr’, ‘ahhh’, etc. Cannot imagine how she was spokesperson for a President!
Doesn’t matter...I’m done with Fox. If Murdoch, Sr. thinks that Dems & Libs will watch now that O’Reilly’s gone, he’s kidding himself. Libs just want to take down FNC and they’re succeeding.
Why doesn’t Hannity get an earlier slot? I don’t mind him at 7 pm but its on so late for him, and the east coast. He deserves a better spot. He is true blue. I like Tucker but I fear he is “playing a part” like when Taylor Swift was a country star and she put a twang she doesn’t have into her singing voice. (See “22” on the Red album)
My mother would be so happy if there was a real history channel. Tv is a big deal to her (Alzheimer’s) and she loves those history documentaries. They just don’t do many.
I haven't watched Fox News in many years. Complaints about O'Reilly started a long time ago. When Fox News settled the first complaint, they opened up a can of worms for themselves. I'm led to believe there was truth to the allegation then, and with each new complaint, and Fox's settling each one out of court, it made it far easier for others to try their luck for a money settlement. I don't recall hearing about O'Reilly ever being disciplined by Fox News, or if he ever admitted to anything. If it was done, it was hush-hush. But if he was never disciplined, what motivation was there for him to change his ways? O'Reilly is arrogant, obnoxious and over-bearing, and I can see him being flippant in his comments to others, both men and woman. How he's lasted this long is beyond me.
“The Five” is exactly why I don’t watch Fox News at 5.
Libs just want to take down FNC and theyre succeeding.
Thats the way I see it too as they are in the party mode over this at CNN and MSNBC.
FOX is the only one that stands up to the Libs and now I only see Carlson on the front line.
OReilly may have been obnoxious at times but he hit a nerve at both networks and they were successful in taking him down
Kennedy would skew to younger demographics...
Netflix and Amazon Prime. Smithsonian channel runs documentaries instead of reality shows too.
BOR appeals to the people that watch tv.. younger hosts trying to get younger viewers is a losing strategy. They don’t watch tv.. they stream highlights and watch YouTube for free. Fox just allowed the torpedo to acquire itself. It will drop to CNN type numbers by september.
I like Waters and his street interviews are hillarious.
He was trained by Orielly but he has a very self defacing conservative style humility that nakes him likable even with his constant cocky smile.
My wife says he’s gourgeous too.
Anything but the five.
Tuesday night delimena: Do I watch NCIS or Tucker? Much easier before this change at Fox. I could watch both.
Watters World is more interesting than the five. Dana Perrino is boring and irritating in her smugness, Guilfoyle’s voice makes it difficult to listen, Beckel, well, too many weak links.
Just great, the 30 something "programmers" are trying to see just how many of their non-Millennial pseudo conservative viewers would spend their evenings watching Bob Bickel and Juan Williams!
Charges of sexual impropriety against Bill have become almost as big a joke as charges of racism these days.
The only people who get upset over these accusations are the Pussy Hatters and other liberal weenies.
Sensible people can see that Gold Diggers are coming out of the woodwork now that they know FOX News pays millions to shut them up.
Booting the host (and originator) of the number one rated show on cable news and one of the best selling authors in America will knock FOX out of their leadership position.
But the Murdoch boys will be popular on the liberal New York party circuit and that's what is most important - isn't it?.
If Bill is so hated and reviled by the general public why is his show number 1 and why are his books consistently at the top of the best seller lists?
Check out his book sales on Amazon.
Here is a sample of the Amazon Best Sellers Rank:
Killing the Rising Sun:
Old School: Life in the Sane Lane
Killing Jesus
Putting 'The Five' on a 9 eastern is just a temporary fix. I would team Kennedy with Watters and Kat Timpf w/ Jono then return the five to its old slot!
Stuttering Dana Perino has rocks for brains. She would be GREAT at CNN or MSNBC.
