In the hearts and minds of his viewers, Tucker Carlson is irreplaceable. His brand of white nationalist agitprop was its own blood pressure-raising secret sauce, and like the high sodium goop on those TV dinners that built his trust fund, it was easy for Fox News' faithful to slurp down night after night.
But the network intends to try by sliding another of its oleaginous dollops, Jesse Watters, into the 8 p.m. time slot once filled by "Tucker Carlson Tonight." This is part of an overall rearrangement bumping Laura Ingraham from 10 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Greg Gutfeld's late-night hit to 10 o'clock. Only Sean Hannity isn't budging from his longstanding 9 p.m. time slot.
