I mean, Tucker actually had a show on PBS for two years.
um, Tucker Carlson unfiltered.
So he was, he was, he was not at all like the person he is today.
Yeah, I don't know if Tucker Carlson is the person he is today without that moment.
I mean, that was such a humiliating experience for him.
He was completely blindsided by it.
You know, he thought he was friendly with Stewart because I think Jon Stewart used to go on Larry King at the CNN studios when Tucker was waiting around to do the spin room and he would take smoke breaks outside and Tucker would join him and he thought they were buddies.
And I think everybody at Crossfire thought that it was going to be a fun episode.
They thought Stewart was in on the joke, basically, that it was all going to be kind of pretend, you know, theater.
It wasn't serious.
And, you know, it's really funny when you watch that episode, Paul Vigala, who was the chair on the left, he just kind of shuts up and just lets Stewart go.
And Tucker's the only one kind of engaging him.
And that's why Stewart went after him that way.
Well, a few months later, a new president of CNN took over and canceled Crossfire altogether and let Tucker's contract expire.
And basically explained to the New York Times at the time that I agree with Jon Stewart.
I think he was right.
And it was just a humiliation for Tucker.
And I think that
It created in him kind of a bitterness and a resentment because I think a lot of the people that he considered his friends and supporters, people in that kind of DCA political media establishment, they didn't come to his defense.
I mean, maybe privately they did, but publicly they didn't.
