Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson (born May 16, 1969) is an American right-wing populist political anchor, pundit, and television personality who works for Fox News Channel, who formerly co-hosted Crossfire on CNN and Tucker on MSNBC and who was one of the few right-leaning anchors on MSNBC before the network strengthened its progressive stance with its "Lean Forward" campaign. Tucker takes more consistently right-leaning stances compared to other commentators.[1] He has stood up to the leftist mob,[2] and the cost of ads on his show nearly doubled despite left-wing attempts to boycott him.[3]
After commentator Bill O'Reilly resigned from Fox News due to sexual abuse allegations, Carlson replaced him at the 8 pm EDT time slot. He also replaced O'Reilly as the number one rated cable TV show for that time slot.[4] His ratings were nearly as high as O'Reilly's.[5] In late March 2019, his show received more viewers than all of CNN's primetime hosts combined.[6]
In 2010, Carlson, with Neil Patel established the online news website The Daily Caller. The website is considered to be an excellent source for conservative news and a welcome polar opposite to left-wing sources such as the Huffington Post.
On July 17, 2019, Carlson spoke for nearly an hour at a National Conservatism Conference. He discussed issues such as government and capitalism.[7]
