Rita Bumps Tucker: Situation Goes Late-Night
Tucker Carlson becomes the second MSNBC stalwart to be displaced by Rick Kaplan’s new favorite Rita Cosby as the network announces that Rita Cosby: Live and Direct will be premiering on Monday, August 8th at 9 pm – Tucker Carlson’s timeslot. Ouch.
The Situation With Tucker Carlson will be moved to 11 pm, bringing MSNBC’s total of first-run prime time programming hours to six. Per the press release, Rick Kaplan’s excited about bringing a live show to the west coast’s 8pm audience; we can assume that Tucker’s excited about going head-to-head with The Daily Show and reruns of The O’Reilly Factor.
