Tucker Carlson: on the way out at MSNBC?

Tucker Carlson's show is one show I never hear anyone talking about. It used to be on earlier in the evening on MSNBC, but then it got pushed back to 11pm. It's not doing too well in the ratings, and according to some guy in line at the movies the other night, it might not survive the 11pm slot.

And I would guess that if it doesn't survive that slot, it will probably be canceled all together. And then we'll see Carlson show up on another MSNBC show, or we'll find him back on CNN or on FOX News.

I guess I am in the minority, but I think he is entertaining. His show is entertaining, but it is on at 11pm ET. He got hosed. I can't stand Rita Cosby.

I am not fond of Tucker Carlson, he is preachy and boring; how do guys like this get their own shows anyway?

I found his evening show to be the only MSNBC show I could watch for more then a few minutes. For last the last few weeks it has been my first choice for TV at 10pm (central time).
