Tucker Carlson, the famous and controversial TV host, has just officially joined AB* station with a contract worth 400 million USD. This deal not only marks a major step forward in Carlson’s career, but also puts an end to Jimmy Kimmel’s longtime show on the channel.
The decision to replace “The Jimmy Kimmel Show” with a new show led by Tucker Carlson has caused a wave of mixed reactions from audiences and experts. Many see this as a bold strategic change by AB*, aimed at attracting a large audience that tends to be interested in hot political and social issues, which is Carlson’s forte. Meanwhile, others are concerned that this transition may cause the loss of the unique entertainment value that Kimmel’s show has brought over the years.
Tucker Carlson, once a bright star on cable channels with his sharp and sometimes controversial commentary style, is expected to bring a breath of fresh air to AB*’s important broadcast time. With a contract worth up to 400 million USD, this is considered one of the largest deals in the history of the television industry, reflecting this station’s confidence in Carlson’s charisma and influence.
Although Jimmy Kimmel’s side has not yet officially commented, fans of his show have expressed their regret on social media platforms. “The Jimmy Kimmel Show” has long been an indispensable part of American entertainment culture, standing out for its humor and approach to everyday topics. The show ending is a big change, not only for Kimmel but also for his loyal audience.
AB* said Tucker Carlson’s new show will focus on political, cultural and social topics, with a more diverse format to reach diverse audiences. This change is also expected to create stronger competition in prime time, when other competitors are also constantly innovating to attract viewers.
Although it is an ambitious step for AB*, this decision cannot avoid potential risks. The question is whether Tucker Carlson can deliver the same success as his previous shows, while meeting AB* and audience expectations. With huge investments, public attention and pressure from the industry, all eyes are on Carlson and his new show.
The audience community is now waiting for more detailed information about this new program, hoping that it will bring an interesting, groundbreaking experience without losing AB*’s inherent identity. With such a big change, AB* is sending a clear message: they are willing to experiment and take risks to reshape the future of television.
