Then Tucker became the most watched cable news show? Who was the most watched cable news show before Bill O'Reilly? It looks like he held that spot from 2002 to 2017, when he was ousted and replaced by Tucker. So my guess is they either didn't track that before 2002 or maybe 9/11 literally created the 24 hour news cycle so this wasn't even tracked before 2002.

Either way, I'm sure Fox will replace Tucker with some random schmuck and he'll go on to become the most watched cable news show, just like the two before him.

I think Tucker is taking a lot of Fox News appeal to the hardcores out the door with him in a way Bill O'Reilly didn't.  I can't help but think how the tide turned after the 2020 election and MAGA folks were echoing Trump's statements that they don't like Fox anymore but they still like Tucker.  Conservatives are extra big on the cult of personality now, so I wouldn't be surprised if attempts to replace Tucker fall as flat as the party's attempts to replace Trump.

It might not be enough these days to just say "Ok, that guy you love and idolize and see as the only guy who has the balls to tell the truth is gone...but here is another guy who will say all the same stuff, ok?"
