Bill O'Reilly on Tucker Carlson Replacing Him on Fox News

Tucker Carlson replaced you. He did great. Then he got replaced. I mean, it's kind of like, uh, well, it was Tucker said to me too. He said, oh, they'll fire me. You know, Carlson, uh, totally different presentation. Yeah. Then mine completely. I thought this, this is going to be right. He stumbled a little bit out of the gates because it's just very, you're very, you know, authoritative. We were, we were more fact-based and he was more theoretical. Yeah. Um, but I admired what he brought because I saw it. I said, look, if you're going to replace me, you gotta be a little bit different. You've got to play to your strong suit. Yeah. You got to play your strong suit. And so Carlson figured out what his strong suit was being a provocateur. Or do you think he, he or Megan Kelly are, uh, occasionally, you know, just whipping the algorithm a little bit? Well, look, they do what they do and no one forces anyone to consume it. There you go. Okay. So I don't snipe at that. That's ridiculous. That's for lesser minds as Chris Cuomo would say.
