2004-2005: PBS
His present, “Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered,” lasted a few yr and ran similtaneously CNN’s “Crossfire.” It was a part of an effort by the general public media community so as to add ideological steadiness.

He started showing on a number of exhibits as a contributor, and in 2016 turned the host of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” at occasions operating within the 7 p.m., 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. time slots. His present turned the highest-rated cable information program in prime time.
2010-2020: The Each day Caller
Mr. Carlson co-founded the conservative information website, a pioneer in on-line conservative journalism, in 2010. He bought his stake in 2020.
