Fox News has weathered the exits of big-name hosts before, but some experts say Tucker Carlson’s inflammatory brand of conservatism will be hard to replace.
“There is no doubt that Tucker Carlson represented a valuable contributor to the network, and likely he was the Fox News Channel MVP. But the drop-off with a substitute host is likely to be manageable in the coming weeks and months. … Fox News viewersCarlson had a unique hold on the GOP base that will be hard to replicate
“Fox will be without the most dynamic host on its network. Some of the potential options to replace Carlson, such as Sean Hannity, are avatars of a stale, tired pre-Trump conservatism out of step with the movement's energy. Fox commands a huge audience for all of its primetime programming, but it's possible a substantial portion of Tucker's audience will sooner flee the network than watch his replacement.
“Carlson, more than other cable news hosts, found a younger audience to supplement the baby boomer foundation that keeps the Fox News enterprise in business, putting the very old in touch with the very online. … It’s unlikely that Carlson’s successor will embody the cultural realignment as fully, or reveal as much about the alienated future of American conservatism, as the man who just disappeared from Fox.
