Tucker Carlson Is Clearly Still Mad About the Time Jon Stewart Humiliated Him on CNN (Video)

or here.Meanwhile, here’s some background: Tucker Carlson used to be co-host of a pretty terrible CNN show called “Crossfire,” which pioneered the annoying ‘people shout at each other’ format on cable.

In October, 2004, Stewart was a guest on the show and used the appearance to criticize the format and the hosts for what he poignantly said was real damage being done to American discourse. “It’s hurting America.

Here is what I wanted to tell you guys: Stop. You have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably,” Stewart told them.Instead of listening, Carlson kept needling Stewart, at one point saying “I thought you were going to be funny,” which prompted Stewart to bluntly say “no, I’m not going to be your monkey.”Shortly after this, Carlson said, “I do think you’re more fun on your show.

Just my opinion.”Stewart’s response: “You know what’s interesting, though? You’re as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.”That burn didn’t just hurt Carlson’s self esteem, however, it also hurt the show.
