Quote: “We’re in Moscow tonight. We’re here to interview the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin. We’ll be doing that soon.”
Details: Carlson said he had been preparing for the interview with Putin for several months.
The former TV presenter said that it would be posted on his website. He also noted that Elon Musk had promised not to block this interview with Putin on X (Twitter).
His history is really interesting. He wasn’t always a raging republican. He realized it worked and got views though, so here we are. I’d highly reccommend watching Some More News’ video on the guy, it’s interesting and kinda funny in all of the depressing ways.

I have this Mandela-effect thing where I am certain I remember him being on The Daily Show ages ago, and not as a raging republican. At one point I thought I might have him confused with Mo Rocca. In any case, I have found no evidence that he was, I think I have just badly misremembered.
Is it possible you’re thinking of that time Jon Stewart was on Tucker Carlson’s show, rather than vice versa?
No that’s way WAY too recent. I’m talking 90s or very early 00s.
To be clear, I have made peace with the fact that this is a false memory, but it persists nonetheless. 😀
I mean, he went onto Carlson’s show in 2004 so that fits the timeline.
Unless they were buddies during that appearance it still doesn’t fit. The reason I thought I might have confused him with Mo Rocca is because my recollection was that he was doing correspondent/skit work for TDS.
They were very much not buddies during that apperance.
