Fox News Channel is giving Megyn Kelly's time slot to veteran pundit Tucker Carlson, doubling down on conservative opinion leaders in its prime-time lineup at the dawn of the Trump administration.

The network also said on Thursday that Martha MacCallum will move into Carson's 7 p.m. time slot, at least temporarily. She will host a show called "The First 100 Days" to coincide with the beginning of Donald Trump's presidency.

Carlson, who has hosted shows on CNN, MSNBC and PBS, replaced Greta Van Susteren, who left Fox in late summer. Since his start on Nov. 14, the average audience of 2.8 million viewers for "Tucker Carlson Tonight" is up 23 percent compared to Van Susteren a year ago, the Nielsen company said.

Tucker has been doing a splendid job as Van Susteren's replacement. Every day he has on some sacrificial lamb, otherwise known as a Liberal, who he forces to defend some position the lamb has taken. This is so unusual. Usually the lambs make some claim or statement which in the regular order of things would merely be reported and go unchallenged. Tucker uses their own words to indict their assertions and pushes them to explain their position, which customarily results in their becoming defensive, attacking him personally, and looking pretty foolish.

What's most interesting is how he is able to get a new victim each day, although it is apparent the lambs are invariably arrogant and are going to show him. They don't.
