Carlson also managed to beat out colleague Greg Gutfield who hosted the show in the week between O’Reilly’s exit and Carlson’s debut.
In fact, Carlson’s first show in the 8 p.m. hour would gain more viewers than O’Reilly in the network’s desired 25-54 demographic.
Despite his gain in a key demographic, his overall viewership of 3.2 million fell just short of Bill O’Reilly’s last episode of The O’Reilly Factor’s viewership number of 3.6 million.
Variety tells us that Monday’s numbers for Tucker Carlson are actually quite solid.
