Mediaite StaffJan 12th, 2022, 5:10 pm
 

Fox News’ top-rated host Tucker Carlson scored big in the ratings on Tuesday night.

The host of Tucker Carlson Tonight at 8 p.m. not only crushed his time slot rivals in the key 25-54 age demographic and in overall viewers, but also way outpaced his network rival for the number one show on cable: The Five.

Tucker beat out Anderson Cooper’s 817,000 total average viewers and Chris Hayes’ 1.43 million total average viewers at 8 p.m. with a whopping 3.52 million total average viewers.

In the demo, Tucker’s 625,000 viewers far outpaced Coopers’ 196,000 demo viewers and quadrupled Hayes’ 156,000.

The Five, which often tops the charts, came in second place to Tucker with 3.34 million total average viewers and trailed further behind with 464,000 viewers in the demo.
