In addition to that new record, Tucker Carlson Tonight also took the number one spot in all of cable news across all viewership categories, with one million in the key news channel demographic of ages 25-54 and 670,000 in the 18-49 demographic, beating the CBS Evening News with Norah O'Donnell.

Tucker Carlson's program also became the first primetime show to reach one million viewers in the 25-54 demographic since September 2008, according to the Nielsen numbers.

Go Tucker!
Don’t be jealous, Sean. You had your day in the sun.

You’re telling me having Lindsay Graham on every night isn’t a winning formula?

Because he’s right, and he’s over the target.

I noticed Sean didn’t say “Good show, Tucker!”

There was a time I found him irritating, because he came across as one of those people who tried too hard to attack both sides to show he was “fair”...but to be honest, I don’t watch television or have cable, so my sample size was small.

But I have been watching him a lot in the last 3-6 months, and I am onboard. He is doing what journalists should do.

Re: Hannity had his day

It’s not over.

As impressive as Carlson’s numbers were, Sean Hannity’s viewership nearly matched it.

Hannity was the second most-watched program across the board with 5.1 million viewers—982,000 of which coming from the 25-54 age demographic and 657,000 in the 18-49 demographic.

I’m guessing the viewers weren’t all pubbies. This must piss off the rest of the media and social nets.

Congrats, Tucker. It was an excellent show/interview, tonight.

Congrats, Hannity.

I’m not a Hannity fan, but by all accounts a genuinely nice guy. I don’t think he’s the jealous type. I didn’t watch his show but in the transition he said he was going to covert Tucker’s story

I bet his show tonight (actually, 10/27/20 - featuring interview with Tony Bobulinski) didn't hurt his ratings average one bit, either!

Hunter Biden was an officer in the Navy while operating as an unlicensed foreign agent for Russia, China, Ukraine and other countries.

Put him in solitary like they did Manafort for far less.

Tucker tells the truth in a very humorous way he can be VERY FUNNY but gets his point across in a way that young people would definitely appreciate!! His show during CHAZ / CHOP was hysterical Tucker and the on the ground reporter were just to funny!! Tucker has become my #1 show I really look forward to his humor each night!!

I complained about him on one of these threads...you may have been the person who encouraged me to give him a second listen...:)

I don’t mind Hannity but there are many nights I wish he’d just shut up a bit more and let his guests speak instead of interrupting them.

I think a lot of people wanted to see what Tony B had to say. It was clear that he was very nervous at his press conference, but tonight he was very composed and on point. Very believable. I rarely watch Tucker, but I recorded this episode. If Tony Bobulinski was revealing these details about a Trump son or daughter, he would have appeared on every network and been on the front page of every newspaper. Pulitzer prizes all around folks!

I think he’s a nice guy too, but I think his ego is getting the better of him.
