Fox ratings tumble in Tucker Carlson slot after his firing

NEW YORK (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of Fox News viewers are reacting to Tucker Carlson's firing by abandoning the network in his old time slot — at least temporarily.

Fox drew 1.33 million viewers for substitute host Brian Kilmeade in the 8 p.m. Eastern hour on Wednesday night, putting the network second to MSNBC's Chris Hayes in a competition Carlson used to dominate, the Nielsen company said.

That's down 56% from the 3.05 million viewers Carlson reached last Wednesday, Nielsen said. For all of 2022, Carlson averaged 3.03 million viewers, second only to Fox's “The Five” as the most popular program on cable television.

Carlson offered his own alternative to Kilmeade on Wednesday, posting a two-minute monologue on Twitter at 8 p.m. By Thursday afternoon, that video had been viewed 62.7 million times, according to Twitter.

Kilmeade had 1.7 million viewers on Tuesday and 2.59 million on Monday, when he told people who hadn't already heard the news that Carlson would no longer be there.

Will they be forced to tiptoe around the topic? Or is "Dominon did it" the only forbidden topic?

Are any more heads going to roll?

Meanwhile, on Newsmax: “Democrats and their voters no longer wish to be Americans. They seek the permanent destruction of our constitution and the limits it places on their totalitarian impulses.”

Until then, don’t come on air and do segment after segment talking about drip, drip, drip and do nothing about it!"

Fowler: "If the Republicans have the evidence go ahead and run the subpoenas. They don’t have it or they would have done it already."

Doug Collins: "They do have the receipts!"

Fowler: "Where are the subpoenas?"

Collins: "Great question, Richard. Where's Merrick Garland?"

And The Host Replacing Tucker Carlson Next Week Is…

Kayleigh McEnany will host the 8 p.m. hour of Fox News next week, Mediaite has learned.

The former White House press secretary under President Donald Trump turned Fox News host will become the third interim host of the timeslot, currently branded as Fox News Tonight, since Tucker Carlson’s stunning ouster from the top-rated network.

Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade helmed the show in the first week after Carlson was abruptly shown the door. Lawrence Jones, the host of the weekend program Cross Country, took over for the second week.

Kayleigh gives a sneak preview of next week hosting Tucker’s old spot. She claims that abortion causes high crime rates on the streets because we don’t respect life, and says all Democrats except 1 or 2 want the same abortion laws as China and N. Korea.

They're pretty pleased he won't be on the air.
