Tucker Carlson is…..TUCKER CARLSON!
NBC must really want The Situation to succeed because they’re going all out with TV advertising. People who tuned in to Monday’s Medium saw a hilarious ad for The Situation in the form of a take-off on 70’s Quinn Martin crime shows…

I woulda expected to see Tucker in a sendoff of Revenge of the Nerds, not The Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage” video.

I know these people aren’t really “journalists” but they should leave the comedy to professionals. No wonder people in this country are clueless about current events.

I like Tucker, but his show is nothing more than an inferior “Countdown” with Keith Oberman. Carlson should drop the opening panelists in favor of rotating panelists. Get Craig Crawford and Rita Cosby. Keep “The Cutting Room Floor” but drop the guy Tucker gives topics to to defend. Rotation should be among the whole cast of MSNBC moderators__Oberman, Matthews, Scarlboro, Reagan & Crowley; etc. Tucker has a reputation for being lightweight, and I think that’s only because of the “situations” he has been placed in his career. Carlson should take charge of himself in order to avoid this typecasting or he will be doomed to failure everytime. There is time for levity but a place for depth and seriousness as well.
There is real substance to this man somehow suffocated by his handlers. The real Tucker Carlson will eventually stand up__and MSNBC will be much better for that.

We enjoy Tucker, but wish he would drop the lady who seems to be a regular. She adds nothing, zip, nada. She talks way too much, and interupts constantly. We watched it last night (July 13, I think) when there were two other men as guests and it was so refreshing. However, Tucker could slow down the fast talk because sometimes it is hard to understand everything he says, and we don’t want to miss anything.

Your appearance on the Bill Maher show last Friday night. Did they just need one really stupid person and picked you or are you really that dumb???? Against all Americans having medical insurance? Try not having any and being 62 years old and needing surgery, try 3 surgeries. Should I lose everything I have or die, let’s see, I think I’ll lose everything I have and be sooooo happy that your family is covered by a huge company (as I used to be) and you will be okay if anything happens to your loved ones. You should be ashamed of yourself you jerk!!!!!!!
