From Media Bistro:
Insiders tell TVNewser Tucker Carlson’s 6pmET show Tucker is getting the axe [...].
Original DVD cover (yeah, I know, not much left)
All three of Tucker’s fans are inconsolable.
The official announcement, expected tomorrow, will include details about who will replace Tucker at 6pmET as well as other political programming additions. Sources say the network is going to beef up its schedule with more NBC News talent.
NBC News has talent? Who knew?
In its 33-month run, Carlson’s show has had two names, four time slots and multiple formats.
And 3 fans (see above).
Carlson is expected to host the show through next week, with his new role and title to take effect March 17. We’re told he’ll also be reporting from the campaign trail.
Let’s hope it’s from under the Straight Talk Express.
MSNBC has announced that all show-host misogyny and homophobia will be handled by Chris Matthews.

Terrific title, nonnie!
As for Tucker’s boot, it couldn’t happen to a nicer fella.
But, I wonder what the real reason is…

nightowl,
it gave me great pleasure to create this poster. the real reason for the boot, i would think, is that there is very little time left on his contract, his ratings are abysmal, and he is just an embarrassment. it’s not that he’s a moron, it’s that he’s a boring moron. boring just doesn’t cut it on tv.

I don’t have cable but what does MSNBC have left ? Nonnie shame you had to shrink Mathews head.

Love it! I don’t know if I like the bird poop or the moneybag best. But I do take exception that Tucker had 3 viewers. His own mama won’t even watch the show. That leaves Tucker and his agent.
Brilliance like this is why I gave you the You Make My Day Award.

nightowl,
i can’t believe i forgot to post it the first time. i think the synapses in my brain have stopped firing.
i2tf,
i read that, for the time being, david gregory will be taking over mothertucker’s timeslot. i wonder if there will be dancing. i felt horrible having to shrink tweety’s head, but it was the only way to make it fit on my monitor, let alone the pic.
fabooj!
always a special surprise when you show up here! i figured that mothertucker records and watches himself, the guy who oversees his trust fund from mommy and daddy probably watches so that mothertucker doesn’t threaten to find someone else to manage the big bucks, and i figured that mothertucker probably has a pet turtle or gerbil or something that he puts in a cage and sets in front of the tv set.
i left you a message over at your place to thank you for the honor. you made my day!

Hey N2theFray! I see the liberal witches over here have cast their spell on you as well/////
When I say witches I mean the bewitched kind, not the hansel and grettle kind

trm,
i am twitching my nose and conjuring up a witchy hug for you.
March 14, 2008 at 1:19 am
I would rather have you “twitch” some sense into yourself and minion,
be gone liberal disease!
March 14, 2008 at 1:43 am
where would you hang out if that happened, trm? who else is going to hug you?
