Good day all., The disaster that is the Fox News decision to fire Tucker Carlson continues. The suddenness of Carlson’s dismissal caught pretty much everyone by surprise. People were wondering who Fox was going to get to replace Tucker Carlson. Now Fox has made their choice.
The person replacing Tucker Carlson is Lawrence Jones. If that name means nothing to you, you aren’t alone. I’ve never heard of the man either. Here are the details from Newsmax, (Who is currently eating Fox’s lunch):
Fox News picked Lawrence Jones to be the temporary replacement for the time slot that used to feature the highly rated Tucker Carlson, who was unceremoniously ousted a week ago. Jones, 30, is considered to be the “youngest black solo host of a cable news show in history,” according to the Daily Mail. Newsmax had Joe Pinion, now 39, as a host before he left the network to run for Senate to vie for the seat held by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
Jones, a self-described libertarian, is expected to host starting Monday night after Fox News has struggled to keep viewers in Carlson’s time slot. Its audience plummeted from an average of 3.2 million viewers with Carlson to 2.6 million tuning in Monday, 1.7 million Tuesday, and just 1.3 million Wednesday.
While I wish Mr. Jones the best of luck, I don’t think he’s going to be able to turn things around. The ratings for Fox are getting worse, and now there are rumors that two more commentators might be fired. I would suggest that Mr. Jones use this opportunity to “Pad his resume” while he looks for a network that isn’t imploding faster then Bud Light.

Lawrence is a standup kind of guy! Absolutely no one can replace Tucker. Ever.
