Tucker Carlson Career
Fox News
According to Fox News, Carlson was brought on as a contributor in May 2009. In September 2010, he produced and hosted a special titled Fighting for Our Children’s Minds. He was a frequent guest panelist on Fox’s late-night satire show Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld. He also frequently appeared on Special Report with Bret Baier’s All-Star Panel segment.
On the eve of then-President Barack Obama’s first debate with Mitt Romney in October 2012, Carlson released a 2007 video clip in which then-Senator Obama criticized the federal government’s response to Hurricane Katrina and expressed admiration for his pastor at the time, Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign was clouded by the Wright sermon controversy. A portion of the video had been accessible on the internet since 2007. An anonymous user going by the handle “Sore Throat” (a reference to the infamous Watergate leaker Deep Throat) was looking for a buyer for the tape for a week prior to Carlson distributing it.
MSNBC
The Situation With Tucker Carlson, the previous name of Carlson’s early evening program, Tucker, made its MSNBC debut on June 13, 2005. Jay Severin and Rachel Maddow were guests on a rotating panel. He also hosted a late-afternoon weekday wrap-up show for the network during the Winter Olympics in 2006. He was a live reporter for Tucker from Haifa, Israel, during the 2006 Lebanon War in southern Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah. While in the Middle East, he also hosted the MSNBC Special Report: Mideast Crisis. Carlson covered the fallout from the shootings at Virginia Tech and the Johnson Space Center in 2007.
Tucker was canceled by the network on March 10, 2008, due to low ratings; the last episode aired on March 14, 2008. He stayed on the network as a senior campaign journalist for the 2008 election. The New York Times’ Brian Stelter claims, “During Mr. Carlson’s tenure, MSNBC’s nighttime programming shifted to the left.” Ed Schultz and Rachel Maddow, two leftists, assumed his previous timeslots at 6:00 and 9:00 p.m., respectively.” The network, according to Carlson, has changed significantly, and “they didn’t have a job for me.”
TV personality
In 2006, Carlson made an appearance on the third season of the reality series Dancing with the Stars, where he was partnered with dancer Elena Grinenko. Carlson got ready by enrolling in four-hour ballroom dancing classes every day.
In an interview one month prior to the episode’s premiere, he lamented missing classes while on a two-week MSNBC assignment in Lebanon, saying, “It’s hard for me to recall the moves.” Because he enjoys performing, Carlson said he agreed to accept ABC’s request to play. “I don’t frequently do things that I’m not particularly good at,” he said. To be able to do that excites me much.” Carlson was the first competitor to be eliminated on September 13, 2006.
Carlson appeared as himself in two brief cameos, “Hard Ball” from Season 1 of 30 Rock and “The King of Queens” from Season 9. He returned to the role of himself in a cameo in the 2008 movie Swing Vote.
