In just days, viewership of Tucker’s time slot went from 3.5 million to 1.7 million…..and dropped to third place in the key demographic among adults 25-54.
Fox News suffered a huge drop in its primetime ratings on Monday following Tucker Carlson’s sudden ouster, the damage was far more substantial on Tuesday night. Newsmax, which has aggressively pursued Carlson’s audience after his firing, appeared to be the main beneficiary of the departure from Fox.
On Tuesday night, Fox News averaged only 1.777 million total viewers and 159,000 in the key primetime advertising demographic of viewers ages 25-54 down close to two million viewers from Tucker’s traditional highs.

Last night, Tucker posted a video on Twitter at 8:00 pm this evening, the same time his show would air on Fox. That video was viewed over forty three million times.
While temporarily replacing Carlson, host Brian Kilmeade pulled in just 1.7 million viewers—half of the 3.25 million Carlson averaged last month. Additionally, fellow Fox primetime stars Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham saw their audiences shrink substantially. Meanwhile, Newsmax’s primetime viewership surged to 425,000 on Tuesday, compared to 129,000 last week and 113,000 average in March. Eric Bolling, the ex-Fox host who anchors the pro-Trump channel’s 8 p.m. slot, more than quadrupled his recent ratings by attracting 562,000 viewers overall.
