What ever happened to: TUCKER CARLSON

A brand spanking new segment to the YB: "Whatever happened to...?"

This week's long lost (missed?) poster child of the Right: Tucker Carlson.



Talk Show Washout Tries Again (NYT 06302005)

Damn, son! I didn't even realize that he was lost!!!! I always thought he was kinda cute in a right-wing, bow-tie-ish kind of way... best of luck at MSNBC!

Very amusing article and commentary from our friends at NYT:

Mr. Carlson, tanned and still wearing his signature bow ties, got a second chance to prove himself on MSNBC when CNN dropped him soon after the comedian Jon Stewart appeared on Mr. Carlson's program on that channel and complained that political pro-wrestling debate programs like "Crossfire" were "hurting America." CNN's new president, Jonathan Klein, said that he agreed wholeheartedly with Mr. Stewart's assessment, adding that CNN would stick to more substantive reporting and analysis.
