The only thing that would make this better is if he had to wear costumes.

Oh my, serious pundit he.

Variety

Carlson to host CBS gameshow pilot
MSNBC anchor tapped for 'Trust'

By JOSEF ADALIAN

Conservative pundit-turned-MSNBC anchor Tucker Carlson is launching yet another new career: gameshow host.

Carlson has been tapped to host "Do You Trust Me?," the quizzer format Phil Gurin ("The Weakest Link") is piloting for CBS (Daily Variety, March 14). Format revolves around strangers forced to put their trust in one another.

Man his dad must be freaking. All that good college money spent on a "game show host"? Oy.

Mary Ellen said...

That sounds like an easy game to win. If a Republican says it, you don't trust him. Period. Game won.

Paddy, I have the feeling that Tucker's appearance on Dancing with the Stars was enough for his dad to give up hope on this guy.

Who do you trust?
Not Tucker Faye...
he is the royal champion of the fake stawman and irrelevant facts

Paddy said...

KGC!!! Where you been? We've been worried about you!!! Good to see you.

Katherine Graham Cracker said...

thanks
I've had a bad cold and have been enjoying the Ipus firing
I won't miss his support of john McCain, his homophobic, sexist racist spewing and his love of Mary Matalin and I think he should have been fired for keeping McJerk and the horrible Ray Nagin impersonation. He claimed he highlighted the racism of the problems in NO but his racist portrayal of Nagin said it all

good ridance to bad rubbish

Carlson will have the most confused contestants ever.

best of luck, Tucker.

Let's hope MSNBC sets him free of his anal-yst doodies.

GottaLaff said...

I used to work at Goodson-Todman.

Tucker wouldn't have even qualified to be wardrobe girl.

Here's a wild guess on the show's format:

"Whoever screeches the loudest, wins."

David said...

He wasn't one already?

Now come on, Cliff. What kind of costume could possibly make him look goofier than he already does? And if he's not embarassed by the ridiculous shit he spouts, I don't think any costume is going to embarass him. He's shameless!!

I've heard the game is called:

"Do You Trust Me to Be Even-Handed When Discussing the Plame Case Even Though My Father is On the Board of the Scooter Libby Legal Defense Fund?"

Bobarino said...

You know, I'm starting to think the guy is some kind of tool.

Don't kid yourself, his father got him this job, just like he's gotten him every other job. He'll fail at this one, too.

The show's name is going to be 'Who do you trust?'

Wrong to begin

It should be 'Whom do you trust?'

But that's OK Screech - you would never know

The only serious job for the insufferable son of Richard Carlson is as an impersonator for the late Don Adams of Maxwell Smart fame. Tucker along with David Gregory bring utter disgrace to all overgrown spoiled rich kids/brats!

Next stop assistant manager at Wal-Mart.

What gives? This nut has gotten more "pundit" shows than Bush has gotten jobs. He gets one, ruins it (gets bad ratings), and goes on to the next.

Who are his mommy and daddy? Unless their last name is BUSH, I don't get it.

Oh, I get it now -- Novak is his grandpappy -- right? We all know that in DC, it is incestuous. Decades go by -- same old, boring heads on shows -- too many to name, so I will just name two -- George Will, Cokie Roberts. Christ! I am OLD, and those two imbeciles were yapping on teevee when *I* was a kid.

did someone change his first name and replace the first letter in his nane by changing the F to a T?

Now they call him "tucker" instead of his real name.

Tucker Carlson is the worst kind of lame wuss: He knows what he is saying is false and says it anyway, to protect his privileged, elitist, upper-class world view.

He is a liar of the first magnitude and a phony who would never serve this country in time of war if it would put him and his fortune at risk.

Jon Stewart got him exactly right.

Cliff Schecter said...

Thanks to all you guys for coming around.

I think Tucker realizes his party is criminally inept, and is getting sick of politics. You can just see it. Transition to something more respectable. Hosting a game show.

unpoetaloco said...

Darn, I was hoping CBS had bought the rights from NBC to resurrect Howdy Doody...

cosmo said...

Tucker as a game show host? Who knew that he could sink lower than his "Dancing with the Stars" failure?

When I accidentally catch a glimpse of his show on MSNBC, the word "constipated" always comes to mind.

Anonymous said...

You mean he isn't already a gameshow host?

Basharov said...

Am I the only one who remembers that Johnny Carson was once the emcee of a gameshow called "Who Do You Trust"? (And there were a lot of complaints from -- presumably English majors -- that it should have been "Whom Do You Trust").

Anonymous said...

Tucker, another conservative letting his daddy pull him by the bootstraps. C'mon why can't you guys get sweet gigs like him? If only you would have worked as hard bring born to the right parents, geez.

ssnyder46 said...

I am glad lots of people think Tucker is a spoiled brat.You can tell he is used to stomping his footies and getting his way. He can not even come up to Jon Stewart ankle. I do think he tries to be funny,he looks like a bully ,he just comes off looking like well you fill in the blank.

Anonymous said...

Now that's funny. Maybe Jon Stewart can be on the show and have him cancelled.

Tucker your wit is that of a small piece of mud.

PERFECT! Now that's the job for Tucker. I'm glad he's finally found himself!
