The Resume

Why Tucker Carlson Tonight might be annoying:

    The Fox News website gives it this premise: 'Tucker Carlson Tonight is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and group think.'
    It shamelessly panders to the Red Pill-MAGA demographic.
    Its title is actually stylized as 'TUCKER CARLSON tonight' (ego).
    The show's head writer, Blake Neff, resigned after CNN outed him for authoring message board comments widely deemed as racist and sexist (July 2020).
    It aired a bizarre segment of the host sparring with lawyer Michael Avenatti over a chyron reading 'Creepy Porn Lawyer.'
    It has survived multiple advertising boycott campaigns to get it cancelled.
    Inversely, the boycotts' repeated failures appear to have only emboldened the host to go further each time (for instance, after fending off a corporate ad boycott in response to his comments criticizing Black Lives Matter, the host took to his show to call Iraq veteran Tammy Duckworth 'a coward' and 'a moron' who 'hates America' - and faced no consequences).

Why Tucker Carlson Tonight might not be annoying:

    It strikes more of a populist tone than its other Fox News counterparts.
    While a marginally pro-Trump program, the host has repeatedly called the administration to task, refusing to be a sycophant.
    It stealthily overtook its main network competitor - Hannity - going from the second-highest rated news show in October of 2018 to finally dethroning it in April of 2020.
    In July 2020, it broke the record for the highest-rated program in U.S. cable news history, garnering an average nightly audience of 4.33 million viewers.
    Its Tony Bobulinski drew 7.6 million viewers - finishing out October 2020 with the highest-rated monthly viewership of any program in the history of cable news.
    For a while, it was kept afloat by My Pillow commercials (its only major sponsor during the ad boycott).
    It transformed Tucker Carlson from a bow-tie-wearing teachers pet to a husbando Red Pill icon.
    Kathy Griffin's own mom was a regular watcher (and according to Griffin had a crush on Tucker).
