Tucker Carlson Gets $100 Million Offer To Join Network

Tucker Gets $100 Million Offer To Join Network

Yesterday, I wrote the networks that were pursuing Tucker once his split with News is official. Shortly that , massive offer was made to Tucker Carlson. Here are the details:

  • 5-year, $100 million dollar contract.
  • Equity position in the company.
  • A position and board seat so Tucker has real decision-making power not just about his show, but the network.

That is a pretty solid offer on its face. Though we don’t know any of the legal details that would have to be hashed . Nonetheless, this offer is a strong opening offer for a talent like Tucker Carlson.

Tucker Carlson reportedly made $35 million a year at Fox News. So this offer would be a slight pay cut in , but Tucker would have equity in the company. This company is on the rise, so that could be a great option for Tucker Carlson.

So who is the company that made this offer?

Patrick Bet-David’s Valuetainment.

While many of you not know about this company, this is a very real offer from a company I’d go work for in a heartbeat.

Fox News Competitors Line Up To Sign Tucker Carlson. Here‘s Who Wants Him.

Fox Competitors Up To . ‘s Him.

Tucker Carlson was Fox News’ biggest draw, of that, there is no doubt. While Fox continues to slump in the ratings from Tucker Carlson’s exit, they have announced will temporarily replace him. Lawrence Jones is considered a star at Fox, and I wish him well.

Tucker Carlson’s first video since the split with Fox News garnered over 22 million plays on the first day on Twitter. That’s about half of the total cable news viewership for that day. One man did that.

Naturally, are wondering where Tucker will land , if he chooses to land anywhere, or go out on his own. Former Fox News personality Megyn Kelly thinks Tucker Carlson should do that latter.

While The Blaze, OANN, and Wire have publicly said they would love to have Tucker Carlson join them (no kidding), almost no one actually thinks he would do so.

According to TMZ, upstart News Nation is very interested in hiring Tucker Carlson. The issue for News Nation is the money. Can they afford him? Most indicators say they can’t but they are so serious about making a move for Tucker Carlson that their executive team flew to NYC to discuss the move internally.

Disgraced former CNN host now works for News Nation making just 1/6 of his CNN salary. Tucker Carlson would demand much more. Former Fox News personality can also be seen on News Nation regularly.

Most Fox News viewers, however, are not watching News Nation. They do watch Newsmax. Many feel that Newsmax would be the natural landing spot for Tucker Carlson. They are a growing network that Tucker Carlson viewers could easily get comfortable with. It’s not outlandish to think former Fox News viewers would permanently adjust their dial to Newsmax if they landed Tucker Carlson. It has before.

Newsmax is reportedly ‘beating down Tucker Carlson’s door‘ to get him on their network. They allegedly even floated the idea of Tucker programming the entire channel, not just his show. I’m not sure I can trust that report, but it could be true. It’s more likely they offered Tucker a chance to pick his lead-in show to help drive ratings. Newsmax also likely has the resources to pay Tucker a salary he’d be comfortable with.

Of the traditional networks, Newsmax makes the most sense. I’m just not sure that it makes the most sense for Tucker Carlson. has a valid point that he could easily strike out on his own. To do so, he’ll probably need to establish himself on Rumble unless he self-hosts everything. isn’t going to let a -range Tucker Carlson say what he wants to say during an election cycle.

One thing is clear … everyone is talking about Tucker Carlson. Not so for Don Lemon.
