Fox Picks Lawrence Jones as Tucker Carlson Successor

Fox News picked Lawrence Jones to be the temporary replacement for the time slot that used to feature the highly rated Tucker Carlson, who was unceremoniously ousted a week ago.

Jones, 30, is considered to be the "youngest black solo host of a cable news show in history," according to the Daily Mail. Newsmax had Joe Pinion, now 39, as a host before he left the network to run for Senate to vie for the seat held by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

Jones, a self-described libertarian, is expected to host starting Monday night after Fox News has struggled to keep viewers in Carlson's time slot. Its audience plummeted from an average of 3.2 million viewers with Carlson to 2.6 million tuning in Monday, 1.7 million Tuesday, and just 1.3 million Wednesday.

Correct. He was consistently rude to his interviewee who, despite the interruptions, managed to maintain his cool.

He’s the poster boy for
Affirmative Action positioning.

They have been grooming Jones to show how diverse they are.

He’s like Jesse’s Johnny only black.

If he was white, he’d still be in a low level job position.

Watters originally got on Fox as Bill O’Reilly’s man-on-the-street gopher.

Tucker hour will continue to lose ratings with Jones as host.

If Fox wasn’t so scared of Bongino or Judge Jeannine and the Truth they would speak, they would put one of them in the slot.

But Dan was fired and Pirro was muted some time ago and her weeky show canceled cause she speaks the truth with to much boldness.

Her show Justice With Judge Jeannine was one of my favorite shows, right behind Tucker.

Those 2 and Bongino were all that was worth watching.

All that’s left now is Gutfeld!, funny show but too much swearing and sex.

Just this week, unless they pull him sooner.

Agreed. That’s how society got into this politically correct mess we are in. Merit is all that should matter.
