EYEBALLS CONTEST: Episode 19 Debate Night with Donald J. Trump “Tucker on X”

We have no idea how many people sat through the whole 45 minute interview between the former president who has been indicted 4 times, and the man who used to host what the New York Times declared to be “the most racist show in the history of cable news.” 
It’s impossible to draw any conclusion whatsoever.

Stop us if you think you’ve heard this one before: Tucker Carlson posts a new episode of his show on the platform formerly known as Twitter, and within hours a gushing press release brags about truly amazing viewership. 

Except it turns out no, probably not really that amazing.

This time, it involves disgraced former president Donald Trump, who was interviewed for an episode of Carlson’s web series “Tucker on X” that dropped Wednesday night, just minutes before the Fox News-hosted GOP primary debate. A debate that, of course, Trump didn’t attend.

  • Prior to the debate, Carlson boasted that viewership of his interview with Trump would dwarf Fox News ratings, and superficially that prediction came true. 
  • As of this writing, the video has clocked more than 108 million views. 
  • Cue a Trump press release bragging that the interview “completely” overshadowed “all of television programming on Wednesday night.”
