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.

Seems you are right, at least according to all the lastest reports.

Think you are right about safety and comfort, as well.

[Fightin Whitey]

lastest = latest lol

[Rennes Templar]

He’s direct like O’Reilly without the bloviating.

2 more nights at most but that is how I would do it. No need for a transition here.

“If Fox is really serious about this, they need to start tonight. Bye, bye Megyn!”

Really. Have Security show up with a cardboard file box, say, “Pack your sh!t and we’ll walk you out to the car.”

He is an excellent interviewer and his facial expressions when a guest is spewing BS crack me up. He does not interrupt and allows the guest to hang themselves giving them subtle nudges along the way. If he can book good guests I believe he will do quite well in the slot - easily capture #1 on cable for the time.

His cheerful disposition is quite a change from MeAgain.

Breaking news? Come on.

I agree but I wouldn't say she was as virulent as Megyn or Britt though she did dust up with Pierson

She strikes me as Jersey practical and family oriented Catholic in Bergen county and goes to church cause I've heard her talk about it plus she dresses somewhat sexy to show her tan toned gams but she eschews those ridiculous cocktail Lycra Hervé Legere knockoffs so many of them wear and look tarty

I think she being an up through the ranks personality at Fox follows orders and when the network tenor was anti Trump she was unlike Trump stalwarts like Guilfoyle and Bolling and Sean

Now Fox concedes despite their best efforts we detested that Trump won and they have to amend because Rupert Murdoch is not tone deaf to the tidal wave that elected Trump

A tidal wave he owns the fanbase of via FNC and FBN

the movies to be made about Murdoch would rival Hearst

Im sure you’ve seen this before

Tucker is good. But he has to lose the confused monkey face he has when listening to his guests....

[Grampa Dave]

That time is our pre dinner time, and many months of the year I’m charcoaling dinner or getting stews ready to eat.

So I will start recording Tucker when he starts his new time slot,

Tucker has all ways shown total zero tolerance to any liberals spouting their left wing lying bs.

Faux besides Tucker is still a no go for me after they tried to lynch Trump in Iowa and that debate.

[Enlightened1]

Love it! Great move!

[Enlightened1]

That’s just Tucker trying to honestly understand all the rubbish coming out of some of his Leftist guest.

[Grampa Dave]

“SO thankful that it is NOT a wannabe Megyn. I am sensing that manliness is back in style in this world. Trump effect!”

Another reason to love our Conservative Women. Thanks!

Well it’s breaking on Drudge...and I got a positive reply from the sidebar moderator (#20)...so yes, it’s appropriate for breaking news...

[pissant]

I understand. Hence the furrowed brow. But combined with the pursed lips, he looks like a confused monkey. He needs to work on eliminating that face.

Up to 77 replies now...no one else is complaining

EXCELLENT!
Congratulations, Tucker. Now kick some major butt. Two Conservative hosts back to back. Fox may actually see ratings rise further unless Geraldo and Juan are constant guests.

[Rennes Templar]

Yes please dump Juan and Geraldo. Dana Perino is enough of a lib for both of them and much easier to look at.
