Tucker Carlson is an American political news anchor, journalist, political analyst, commentator, author, and producer. A staunch libertarian-conservative, he has never shied away from presenting his political opinion in public. This quality earned him a job at ‘CNN.’ However, he was later terminated in the wake of his famous verbal brawl with comedian Jon Stewart on his show 'Crossfire.' He then had a 3-year stint with ‘MSNBC,’ hosting the nightly program 'Tucker' from 2005 to 2008. Carlson was hired by 'Fox News,' where he set a TRP record with his nightly political talk show 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.' Apart from anchoring, Carlson is a prolific political commentator and appears as a panelist on various political talk shows. He has also appeared on the show 'Dancing with the Stars,' though he was the first contestant to be eliminated from the show in that season. Carlson is a print journalist, too, and has contributed to numerous magazines.
