Tucker Carlson Hosts CBS Pilot “Who Do You Trust?”
Bow tie wearing conservative pundit Tucker Carlson has signed on to host the CBS pilot Who Do You Trust. In the show, contestants will have to wager how much they trust each other as they develop relationships in the game. Phil Gurin, who is taping about 50,000 game show pilots this month, is doing this show as well. I’m a shameful huge fan of Friend or Foe and I adore evil backstabbing game shows, so the more the better in my mind. Plus, even though I disagree with Carlson in basically all of his points, he does amuse me so he might do a good job. We saw how Ben Stein did. Maybe he will do just as well.
This is great news!
But Tucker has been without a bow-tie for a few years now.
Tucker, please channel St. Bud of Collyer – at least once. The bowtie was definintely you.
Meanwhile, the word “revival” is not present, so I guess the Johnny Carson version of the late 1950s isn’t being replicated here, or used as inspiration.
Intriguing, let’s see if it goes anywhere….
FoF needed a few more questions in gameplay — but otherwise it was time well spent. Kennedy was a great host and wouldn’t mind seeing her host another show.
Kenndy hosted Reality Remix on Fox Reality which she love to do I don’t know if she can do that and host game show at at the same time because Reality Remix is done 7 days of the week so it will be hard and it’s not taped earlier….
Yay, a game show hosted by Tucker exclamation-point jazz-hands spirit-fingers!
I’m surprised that just about nobody (including this site) picked up on the fact that this pilot is a revival of the classic game show hosted by Johnny Carson.
Will Tucker replace Barker if the “Who Do You Trust” pilot doesn’t get picked up for a regular series? I rather have Tucker Carlson replace Barker instead of George Hamiltion.
