Fox News host Tucker Carlson offered effusive praise for late Fox News chief Roger Ailes on a show celebrating Carlson’s 10-year anniversary at the network and his own upcoming 50th birthday.
“He was really a great and wise man,” Carlson said on the set of his Wednesday night broadcast describing the polarizing ex-CEO who was forced out of the company in July 2016 amid a wave lawsuits surrounding multiple sexual harassment scandals.
Carlson was joined on set by a team of Fox News stalwarts including Ed Henry (fresh off his feting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner) and Brit Hume. Carlson’s primetime colleague Laura Ingraham was also on hand.
