Watch him declare for president tomorrow.... lol
Maybe not tomorrow, but I could see it.
I could imagine it, it's not like he needs any more money. His best best is be Trump's main champion (and perhaps VP?) to inherit his base in later years, rather than take him on now. He's young enough to wait 4 years.
He’s not worth that much… I mean, he’s already got more than I ever will by many multiples, but it’s not FU money. Frankly, Gutfeld’s contract is worth 4 times his was…

Lots of theories about what happened.
- His coverage of Ray Epps (right after 60 Minutes did a story)
- Dominion liability (but others pushed it as well, and they're still there
- Supposedly (?) he's not a Trump fanboi and was pushed to support him.
Tucker was not named in the Dominion suit, IIRC.

Fox Corporation erased $930 million in market value on Monday after announcing Tucker Carlson would depart Fox News.
The split came one week after the company settled a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems.
Tucker Carlson has consistently had one of the most-watched news shows on cable TV.
Fox Corporation stock fell as much as 5% on Monday and erased $930 million in market value after it was announced that Fox News Media parted ways with host Tucker Carlson.
Shares of the media company recovered slightly and were trading at $29.61, down almost 4% at 12:15 p.m. ET.

More and more it’s sounding like this was about the Epps story.

I think a lot of people would like to know about the Epps story.

Edit: never mind. I did my own googling.

You gotta feel sorry for Fox execs. If maintaining their audience requires validating maga feels, but validating maga feels requires making up defamatory bullshit, but making up defamatory bullshit costs you hundreds of millions of dollars, then they’re in a bit of a bind.

Overall I liked Tucker. He got better every year. I fear he’s yet another body in Trump’s wake for regurgitating election fraud conspiracies, to which it sounds like he didn’t even really believe.
Poor Tucker Carlson, deciding to lie like that?

"Here, have a shit-ton of money. Now, lie like a bastard and pull stupid faces. If you can develop a disturbing squeaky laugh and dress up like a twat, there's another million in it for you!"
