Fox News Channel says Tucker Carlson is claiming the weeknight host slot recently vacated by Greta Van Susteren.
The network said Thursday that Carlson will take over the 7 p.m. Eastern hour on Nov. 14. The name of the new program hasn’t been announced.
Carlson joined Fox News as a contributor in 2009. He is a co-host of “Fox & Friends Weekends” and regularly appears on the network’s other shows. He previously was a host on CNN and MSNBC.
Carlson also was a founder of the conservative news site The Daily Caller and served as its editor-in-chief. Fox says he’ll no longer serve in an active editorial role.
Van Susteren’s “On The Record” has been hosted by Brit Hume since her abrupt exit from the network in September.

lol to Tucker. I want someone to demonstrate his hair is real, sort of like Trump subjected himself to before the TV cameras.
Tucker is one of my favorvites, but it seems like there will be a lot of hard feelings from others who will consider the prime-time slot should be theirs.
Tucker has been one of the most honest contributors for FOX News. I admire his humor also. He will be a great Host for Fox News.
Really? You’re troubled by hid HAIR ? Good grief.
I like Tucker Carlson but he speaks so rapidly I keep up with what he say’s. Hopefully he will speak more distinctly.
Congrats Tucker… but even my hearing aids have a bit of trouble picking up everything you and some of the other ladies say.. But TG for subtitles.
A very good choice
Very good he left radical cnn
Congratulations Tucker on your new job you will be great.????
You and Sean Hannity are the very bests at FOX NEWS !!!
Go Tucker !!!!
You join a couple of greats, Tucker, like Hannity and Lou Dobbs.
Agreed. Lou Dobbs is like a fine wine that is still getting better by the year.
Hats off to Tucker Carlson.Good choice.
I love Tucker. He’s fun to watch and he speaks the truth. Can’t wait until he starts. He’s a breath of fresh air.
Like Tucker. He isn’t afraid to call a spade a spade. No p.c crap in that boy
Should gave replaced Kelley
Her ratings are too high for FOX to give her the boot. But I personally agree with you and Newt Gingrich. She has personal issues that occasionally get in the way.
The latest that I read, Megyn Kelly is being given the boot and being replaced by Judge Jeannie Pirro, which is the reason, I assume, that allegations of sexual harrassment are surfacing from Ms. Kelly!!!!!!!
Not a bad looking hide at 45, but I can’t tolerate the God almighty self righteous attitude she holds so dearly.
Judge Jeannie seems to have a much better sense of humor as well as being well grounded. Easy on the eyes as well.
Great! I am really looking forward to see him. I love his logical thinking.
Tucker is great, I’m so happy we’d be seeing him regularly. With his wit and humor, Fox made a great choice.
I would have to say though, I’d miss Brit Hume a lot, I wish he wasn’t temporary. I don’t understand why people when they send their mean tweets about Brit, they talk about his suits, I’ve always admired him, well dressed and he has a very distinct style of delivivering the news, unique. To Mr. Suave and debonair, Mr. Hume, thank you, and please be around for along long time.
Tucker is great. Direct, honest and won’t put up with the “PC” approach to life. Fox made a good decision. Shouldn’t take long for his popularity to move up to the “Kelley” spot when people finally can’t take the better than thou attitude any longer.
Great choice! Tucker says it like it is and he will do very well in that time slot. I do miss Greta though and wish her well.
I read that Judge Jeanine Pirro will replace Megyn Kelly. Good choice, but can’t that happen before Election Night? I am so tired of seeing Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier discussing the results. Megyn Kelly has let her ego out do her ability. She hates Donald Trump and is completely out of line with a lot of her guests! I say good riddance!
I agree with you about Kelly. She is the main reason I quit watching FOX. All of the Trump bashing made it seem as if I had on MSNBC so there was no reason to have on FOX.
I don’t have much regard for Megyn Kelley. I skip her show when it comes on. I look forward to seeing Hannity, Lou Dobbs and Judge Jeanine Pirro(on weekends) I enjoy watching OAN when my favorites at Fox are not on. They have good and pleasant people for the most part at OAN. Liz on Tipping Point is one of them.
but she is entertaining!
Can Judge J take over Kellys spot??
Nice: Tucker, O Reilly, Judge J, Hannity.
Tucker Carlson is a 10. Would like to see him as Trump’s Press secretary!
Very good choice – love & appreciate his candor & his political views – fair – no PC bs !!!
However I do agree that he must either speak slower & ” enunciate ” much better – hard to follow @ times !
It will be great to have two legit conservatives on Fox – Tucker & Lou Dobbs !!!!!
Greta, I miss you, but Tucker I’ll be watching for those big baby blues and those beautiful curly locks. Love your point of view and come November 14th, I start tuning back in to Fox at 7:00pm.
Fox MGMT. made a wise move. Dr. Tucker earned the slot. As I figured, Kelly was to Hollywood!
Tucker is a great choice. Fair and balanced. Kelly is a mess. I hope the sons of the head guy don’t screw it up
WELL, My, my, my, Faux News is starting early, to mend their brokenness. A good choice.
I never understood why Greta Van Susterin left Fox News Channel. She was excellent, in my opinion. I didn’t care for Brit Hume at all because he, like the GOP Establishment, kept beating up on Donald Trump. His actions tell me that he wants Hil-liar-ry for President and doesn’t care what happens to the lives of all the rest of us! Bret Baer and Chris Wallace are also guilty of wanting America to be destroyed by Hillary. Please pray that God will give America/Americans one more chance!
I never understood why Greta Van Susterin left Fox News Channel. She was excellent, in my opinion. I didn’t care for Brit Hume, he kept beating up on “The Donald” and doesn’t seem to care what happens to the lives of all the rest of us! Bret Baer and Chris Wallace are also not my favorites right now. Please pray America/Americans will be given one more chance!
Tucker Carlson is a good choice. I will watch that news segment again. I never understood why Greta left Fox. She was excellent. I didn’t care for Brit Hume. Bret Baer and Chris Wallace are also currently not my favorites. Please pray that America/Americans will have another chance!
