Leftist “media watchdog” Media Matters for America on Tuesday released video showing former Fox News host Tucker Carlson mocking their organization and joking around on set.
“If we’re going to talk about sex, I’d love to hit some of the fine points of technique, but, you know, but it’s your show. It’s totally up to you,” Carlson tells Piers Morgan, the video shows.
“We can certainly talk about your sexual technique, especially after your tanning testicles last week,” Morgan replied, referring to Carlson’s End of Men special on Fox Nation. “Not mine,” Carlson said. “We’ll speak in more general terms, but I’ve got something to add.”

In a second video, Carlson jokingly tells someone off-camera that he thought someone’s girlfriend was “kind of yummy” before walking the remark back and telling Media Matters to go “f*ck” themselves.
“You wouldn’t. Okay? I’m not, you know what, I’m not qualified on that score. I will say, I thought his girlfriend was kind of yummy,” said Carlson.
“Just kidding, in case this is being pulled off the bird,” Carlson joked. “Hey, Media Matters for America, go fuck yourself. I don’t even know what his girlfriend looks like. And if I did, I would not find her yummy.”

A third video shows the then-Fox News host on the set of his “Tucker Carlson Today” enjoying a Zyn nicotine pouch and re-enacting former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly’s famous “F*ck it! We’ll do it Live!” moment.
“I can never assess my appearance. I wait for my postmenopausal fans to weigh in on that,” said Carlson. “What, they want to control me from afar? Okay, I’m putting the leash on.”
Carlson abruptly left Fox News last week, a move that saw the company lose roughly one billion dollars and millions of viewers.
The Network’s viewership during the 8 p.m. hour – previously dominated by “Tucker Carlson Tonight” – has been cut in half less than one week after the network parted ways with the popular host.
A meager 1.33 million viewers watched Fox News at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, down from 2.65 million who watched Carlson’s unexpected final episode on Friday, and less than half of the 3 million viewers who watched most episodes of Carlson’s nightly broadcast, Valiant News reported.
