BREAKING: ABC Signs Tucker Carlson With Huge Salary and Contract, Replacing The Jimmy Kimmel Show

n a twist nobody saw coming—and yet somehow everyone saw coming—ABC has decided to part ways with late-night comedy mainstay Jimmy Kimmel and hand the reins to none other than Tucker Carlson.

Yes, the same Tucker Carlson who’s spent years cultivating a brand of divisive commentary that makes your family group chat seem like a utopia of polite discourse.

Now, he’s apparently transitioning to the world of network   television with a deal reportedly so lucrative it makes Kimmel’s paychecks look like lunch money.

Carlson, who left his previous gig at Fox News amid a hailstorm of controversies (because, of course), has now landed squarely in the world of late-night entertainment.

ABC has promised that the rebranded show will bring “a bold new perspective” to the time slot—because what America really needed was less humor and more political rants at 11:35 PM.

The decision to replace Jimmy Kimmel, a host known for his mix of sharp wit and heartfelt moments, with Carlson’s signature glare and carefully calibrated outrage has left fans scratching their heads.

But according to inside sources, this move is all about ratings. Apparently, ABC believes that viewers would rather go to bed simmering with political tension than chuckling at dad jokes and  celebrity interviews.

Critics have been quick to point out the absurdity of this pivot. Late-night shows traditionally aim to unite audiences with humor, not drive them into ideological trenches.

But hey, maybe ABC is betting on a future where comedy takes a backseat to monologues filled with thinly veiled anger and ominous warnings about the state of the nation. A bold strategy indeed!

Carlson himself seems thrilled about the opportunity, releasing a statement that said, “I’ve always believed that late-night television is the perfect platform to discuss the real issues facing our country.”

Translation: Prepare yourselves for nightly sermons that turn a segment about pumpkin spice lattes into a commentary on societal collapse.

As for Kimmel, he’s reportedly taking the news in stride. Sources close to the former host say he’s already fielding offers and might even start a  podcast. Because in 2025, the only place left to tell jokes without being replaced by Tucker Carlson is on Spotify.

So buckle up, America. Late-night TV is about to get a lot less funny—and a lot more… Tucker.
