Russian TV news channel Rossiya 24 has aired a trailer for a weekend show featuring former Fox News journalist Tucker Carlson.
The state-run broadcaster did not make clear whether it will feature original content or be a translation of his regular English-language videos on X.
Carlson abruptly left Fox News in April where his populist conservative takes were renowned.
Rossiya 24 has not yet said when the show will air.
The advert, first shared earlier this month, aired again on 22 September with the words “on the weekend” but no further details.

“abruptly left”…lol his ass was fired
He fucked with the money. $800 million settlement.
If I made 800 million in one pop I’d do nothing the rest of my life and enjoy every second of it.
But this guy decides to cut a contract for a shitty embarrassing twitter show to air in Russia. Wtf
Carlson has been a Russian propagandist for decades.
Pretty wild how the Republican party went from calling various actors and others Russia lovers (and destroying their lives over it in the McCarthy hearings) to unabashed testicle chortling of a Russian dictator in just under 70 years.
From an outsider’s perspective, US Republicans seem quite anti-American.
From an insider’s perspective they seem quite anti-American.

Don’t sell them short like that. They’re also anti democracy, anti truth, anti justice, anti women, anti diversity and anti human rights.
It’s right wing populism. It’s the second Lavender Scare. Populism has never worked, it’s too chaotic. But that’s what regular folks are goaded into by people like Tucker Carlson. He’s a multimillionaire being paid to defend billionaires. He is the wealthy owner class he screams about on TV.

McCarthy hearings? They said Hillary’s “reset” of Russia relations was stupid. Then Putin invaded Ukraine (the first time) and Republicans started slobbing that knob.
But that was only in service to Tar and Feather socialism. By misrepresenting it as leninism. As soon as Russia adopted fascism like America. Republicans were overjoyed. Which is why they now defend their fascist friends. And use China or North Korea now to misrepresent socialism.

It’s the same thing.
I heard the first episode is 45 minutes of him tongue punching pootin’s fart box mixed with 15 minutes of dickpill ads. The second episode is gonna focus less on the ads.
Wow, I am totally, uh, what’s the exact opposite of shocked?
Whelmed.
The sequence of decisions that landed this idiot where he is now would likely make for an entertaining film.
John Oliver did a run down of tuckers origin story
Does that go over the cia stuff? He has some shady stuff in his history due to his involvement in South America.
Please take him
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The state-run broadcaster did not make clear whether it will feature original content or be a translation of his regular English-language videos on X.
Carlson abruptly left Fox News in April where his populist conservative takes were renowned.
Populist conservative takes on issues ranging from immigration, crime, race, gender and sexuality featured often, with “woke” ideology being talked about.
His show was cited in the lawsuit from voting machine company Dominion over Fox News’ reporting of the 2020 presidential election.
Fox regularly discussed false claims that Dominion’s machines were rigged against Donald Trump.
Russian state TV channels have regularly cited his shows in the past - due in large part to his penchant for repeating dubious Kremlin claims about Ukraine.
