The decision by ABC to fire late-night comedy stalwart Jimmy Kimmel and give the keys to none other than Tucker Carlson was a surprise that no one anticipated, yet nevertheless everyone did.
That’s right, Tucker Carlson, who has spent years honing a style of contentious remarks that makes your family group chat appear like a paradise of civil conversation.
With a contract supposedly so rich that Kimmel’s paychecks seem like lunch money, he is now reportedly making the move to the realm of network television.
Carlson has already firmly established himself in the late-night entertainment industry after quitting his prior position at Fox News in the midst of a flurry.
Of scandals (because, of course). America really needs less comedy and more political tirades at 11:35 PM, so ABC has guaranteed that the revamped program would offer.
“A bold new perspective” to the time slot. Fans are baffled by the choice to substitute Carlson’s trademark look and well-timed fury with Jimmy Kimmel,
A presenter renowned for his blend of witty banter and poignant moments. However, insiders claim that ratings are the main factor for this decision.
ABC seems to think that people would prefer sleep with political worry in their stomachs than laugh at celebrity interviews and dad jokes.
The ridiculousness of this change has been quickly pointed out by critics. Traditionally, late-night programs have tried to use comedy to bring people together rather than incite ideological conflict.
However, maybe ABC is placing a wager on a future in which speeches containing barely concealed rage and dire warnings about the status of the country will overshadow comedies. What a daring plan!
“I’ve always believed that late-night television is the perfect platform to discuss the real issues facing our country,” Carlson said in a statement, indicating that he is excited about the prospect.
Translation: Get ready for nightly lectures that transform a piece on pumpkin spice lattes into a critique of the breakdown of society.
According to reports, Kimmel is handling the news well. According to those close to the former presenter, he is already receiving offers and may even launch a podcast.
Because in 2025, Spotify is the only platform where jokes can still be spoken without being supplanted by Tucker Carlson.
So, America, fasten your seatbelt. The future of late-night television is going to be far less humorous and much more… Tucker.
