Tucker Carlson is a leading voice in American politics, recognized by Time magazine as the “most powerful conservative in America,” and the host of The Tucker Carlson Show, a long-form conversational podcast launched after his departure from Fox News in 2023.

He attended St. George’s School in Rhode Island, where he met his future wife, Susan, and developed a passion for debating, before earning a B.A. in history from Trinity College in 1991. After a rejected CIA application, Carlson pursued journalism, starting as a fact-checker for Policy Review and writing for outlets like The Weekly Standard, New York magazine, and Reader’s Digest.

His broadcast career spanned CNN (2000–2005) as co-host of The Spin Room and Crossfire, PBS (2004–2005) with Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered, and MSNBC (2005–2008) with Tucker. In 2010, he co-founded The Daily Caller, a political news website, selling his stake in 2020. Carlson joined Fox News in 2009, becoming a contributor, co-hosting Fox & Friends Weekend (2013–2016), and later hosting Tucker Carlson Tonight (2016–2023), the highest-rated program in cable news history.

After leaving Fox in 2023, he founded TCN, an online media company dedicated to unfiltered, truth-driven reporting, reshaping the media landscape with record-breaking online interviews featuring figures like Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Elon Musk. He is the New York Times bestselling author of Ship of Fools and The Long Slide. Carlson advocates for independent media, free speech, and fearless discourse on critical issues.
