I was thinking Tucker Carlson was on PBS at one time! I was right.

From Wikipedia:

79]

PBS (2004–2005)
Carlson was hired to helm a new program for PBS in November 2003, Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered, which ran synchronously with Carlson's Crossfire gig on CNN.[80] The show launched on June 18, 2004, and was, according to The New Yorker, "part of a broader effort to push PBS further to the right ideologically".[81][82]

he got his show on Fox. I never liked that smug little shit with his bowties. He couldn't hold his own in a debate back then, which I'm sure is why he usually controls the narrative rather closely on his show now. If people start talking back to him now, he just talks over them and cuts their mics. Such a coward.

It goes to show you how far the programmers will go to foist some media personality (if you can say Tucker has one) on the unwary public. Tucker was a failure at all of those early incarnations, but they kept pushing him on us until they found a niche for him. And he has to go on that show every night and say the sickest, most outrageously divisive shit in order to keep his audience there. He's proud of himself, too. Hope he enjoys Hell.
