In a surprising move, ABC has replaced Jimmy Kimmel with Tucker Carlson for their late-night show. Carlson, known for his divisive political commentary, has left Fox News amid controversy and now enters the late-night arena with a reportedly lucrative deal.
The network promises a “bold new perspective,” shifting from comedy to political rants. Critics argue that late-night TV should unite viewers, not deepen divides, but ABC is betting on ratings over humor.
Meanwhile, Kimmel may pivot to podcasting. In other news, President Biden criticized Israel’s handling of the Hamas war and called for a ceasefire, urging for humanitarian aid, while the U.S. response to Israel’s actions remains uncertain.
