The decision to replace Kimmel, who has been a staple of ABC’s late-night programming since 2003, comes as part of a broader strategy by the network to attract a different audience and diversify its programming slate. The new show, hosted by Carlson and Owens, promises to bring a fresh perspective to the late-night format, emphasizing conservative viewpoints and engaging in politically charged discussions.
Tucker Carlson, formerly a prominent figure on Fox News, is known for his provocative commentary and strong conservative stance. Candace Owens, a well-known political activist and commentator, has made headlines for her outspoken views and influence within conservative circles. Together, they are expected to offer a dynamic and often contentious take on current events, politics, and culture.
The announcement has generated considerable buzz, both positive and negative. Supporters of the new show argue that Carlson and Owens will provide a much-needed counterbalance to the predominantly liberal voices that have dominated late-night television. They believe that the new format will attract viewers who feel underserved by the current late-night landscape.
