Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson didn’t have to wait long to score a new job offer — as well as a chance to completely take over a small news network and make it his own.
A podcast and YouTube news company called Valuetainment made a public offer to Carlson on Tuesday: $100 million over five years, an equity stake in the company, the position as president, a board seat, his own show, and more.
CEO Patrick Bet-Davis first revealed the huge offer to fellow former Fox News host Megyn Kelly. Kelly wrote that the offer is “real: $100m offer over 5 years plus plus plus… He deserves it!”
“We want you to partner with us in what we feel is a noble and necessary effort to define the future of media,” Bet-Davis wrote in an open letter, shared on social media.
The letter listed the generous $100+ million offer, and invited Carlson’s response.
“What else? We’re all ears,” the letter read.
“Our convictions about freedom, liberty, and truth run deep and we believe we are the absolute right fit for you and America,” the offer letter concluded.
“While we may not be the biggest media company, we are a new media leader driving into the future to make truth, fair debate, and commentary more accessible, consumable, and protected. We are 100% serious about our offer.”
