Tucker Carlson (born 1969, San Francisco, California) American conservative pundit and popular cable television talk show host, recognized for his success in helping to bring far-right viewpoints and vocabulary into the mainstream of American politics. Carlson was known for his extreme positions on a range of political and social issues, for his em...
Tucker Carlson was the eldest of two children born to Richard Warner Carlson, a media executive, and Lisa McNear Lombardi Carlson, an artist. When Tucker was six years old, his mother left the family; she ultimately settled in France, where she died in 2011. Tucker and his brother, Buckley, never saw her again. After their parents divorced, the boy...
Upon his graduation from Trinity College in 1991, Carlson sought to join the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) but was rejected. On the advice of his father, himself a former newspaper and television reporter, Carlson turned to journalism, taking a position as a fact-checker for the conservative journal Policy Review and later writing op-eds for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in Little Rock, Arkansas. In 1995 he joined the staff of The Weekly Standard, a conservative opinion magazine cofounded in that year by William Kristol. He later wrote numerous columns, opinion pieces, profiles, and other articles for several print and online magazines, journals, and newspapers, including Esquire, The New Republic, Forbes, Slate, New York Magazine, The Atlantic, and The Wall Street Journal. His 2003 Esquire article “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen,” which recounted a trip to Liberia he had taken with Al Sharpton and other activists and intellectuals, was nominated for a National Magazine Award.
Carlson first appeared on television in 1995, when he was interviewed by the CBS newscaster Dan Rather (on the program 48 Hours) about the controversial trial of O.J. Simpson (see also O.J. Simpson trial). He thereafter appeared regularly as a conservative commentator on various news and political debate programs. In 2000 he became the cohost of a new CNN debate show, The Spin Room, which was soon canceled because of low ratings. In 2001 he was invited to cohost Crossfire—another CNN debate show, which had premiered in 1982—with Paul Begala, a Democratic strategist and political commentator. In a Crossfire interview with Carlson and Begala in October 2004, Jon Stewart, then the host of the politically satirical The Daily Show, declared that both hosts were “political hacks” who were “hurting America” by engaging in partisan political theatre rather than meaningful debate. Three months later Crossfire was canceled by CNN’s president, who said in an interview that he agreed with Stewart’s assessment of the show.
Carlson then moved to MSNBC (see NBC), where his next show, Tucker, ran until 2008. In 2010 he and Neil Patel, a Republican political adviser who had been Carlson’s roommate at Trinity College, founded The Daily Caller, a conservative news and commentary website. Seeking to increase its viewership among the far right, the site soon descended into extremism and sensationalism, publishing unsupported and frequently vulgar attacks on Democratic leaders, false criticisms of liberal causes, and popular conspiracy theories. The site also became known for its promotion of racist and sexist stereotypes. In 2020 Carlson sold his ownership stake in The Daily Caller to Patel.
In 2009, before The Daily Caller was launched, Carlson was hired as a commentator and guest host by the conservative Fox News Channel. His frequent appearances on the network increased his prominence among conservative pundits and eventually led the network to offer him his own show, which was launched in 2016 as Tucker Carlson Tonight. An immediate success in terms of viewership, the show eventually became one of the most popular news programs in the history of cable television.
