Tucker Carlson (Fox News screen grab)
With the massive news this afternoon that Bill O’Reilly 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 Fox’s Special Report with Bret Baier will be on next week from 5-7 PM.
Martha MacCallum‘s 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.

I agree with your wife .
“Kennedy with Watters and Kat Timpf w/ Jono then return the five to its old slot! “
Kennedy already had that The Independents show. She shared that with a couple of others. Giving her her own show was the right move she can carry it by herself.
I like Kat too, but she’s a sidekick and appears to be hitched to Gutfeld. Her ‘girl on the street’ interviews are pretty good. The material has Gutfeld’s prints all over them.
The 5 is unwatchable. This is such a stupid move.
Years ago I actually liked Juan Williams. I rarely agreed with him, but he seemed reasonable most times. But then Obama came along and he became just another apologist.
FNC is dead. Bye-bye!
‘..OReilly may have been obnoxious at times but he hit a nerve at both networks and they were successful in taking him down.’
Agree. imho, Murdoch’s sons are libs and FNC began to change when they got involved. When Marie Harf, from Pres Obama’s State Dept is on FNC show, I see red and off goes FNC. Pres Obama was not fan of Fox and his supporters would enjoy the fall of Fox...which I believe will happen if FNC continues to lean left.
She'd be better at just staying home and playing with her dog.
She would be better at Animal Planet as I think she is really strange with the dog crap
“So if Bolling has his own show at 5:00, The Five at 9:00, and his financial show on weekends, he’s going to be a busy boy.”
I suspect Jesse Watters Will become the permanent replacement for Eric Bolling on The Five now that Eric will have his own weekday show.
Perfect, I can stop watching after Tucker.
I can imagine Hannity is none too pleased with the new lead-in.
Give Dennis miller his own show.
Red Eye’s gone, too.
Bob Beckel said they are going to need 4 more people.
Some nights, Tucker seems tired.
They should just dump the five. Dobbs is a good idea.
Now get rid of that imbecile Juan Williams
AMEN. I was hoping to see Steyn take either the 8 or 9pm slot. "The Five" at 9pm is a disaster, IMO.
I agree. Big mistake on the part of Bill Shine, or whomever is doing the FNC programming these days.
