n a twist nobody saw coming—and yet somehow everyone saw coming—ABC has decided to part ways with late-night comedy mainstay Jimmy Kimmel and hand the reins to none other than Tucker Carlson. Yes, the same Tucker Carlson who’s spent years cultivating a brand of divisive commentary that makes your family group chat seem like a utopia of polite discourse. Now, he’s apparently transitioning to the world of network    television with a deal reportedly so lucrative it makes Kimmel’s paychecks look like lunch money.

Carlson, who left his previous gig at Fox News amid a hailstorm of controversies (because, of course), has now landed squarely in the world of late-night entertainment. ABC has promised that the rebranded show will bring “a bold new perspective” to the time slot—because what America really needed was less humor and more political rants at 11:35 PM.
