Conservative pundit Tucker Carlson, who seems to go from one failed enterprise to another, is hosting a game show pilot for CBS called Who Do You Trust? This article tells about the show but doesn't mention if it's a revival of the show by the same name once hosted by Johnny Carson. From the description, I'm guessing someone acquired whatever rights there are to the earlier program but is changing it so much that a comparison seems inappropriate.
I'm a little surprised that they picked Carlson. I (sorta) understand his value to a station like CNN or MSNBC of even PBS. He has solid Conservative credentials so that group can't wail and scream "Liberal media." But he's also good-natured and rarely shrill with his viewpoints so Liberals don't mind him as much as they mind, say, a Glenn Beck or Michael Savage. He's kind of the right-wing version of Alan Colmes, tolerated and perhaps even welcomed by the opposition because he's never going to win an argument.
So programmers overlook his unbroken string of flop shows and they also overlook his wretched track record at predictions. (You know, Hillary Clinton's never going to come close to winning that New York Senate seat she's talking about.) He's especially useful if you're dumb enough to think you can program in a way to attract both rabid Liberals and strident Conservatives to your news channel, which is why MSNBC's ratings for everything but Olbermann are where they are. And besides, in the media today, we never hold always being wrong against a guy who's supposed to tell us what's going to happen.
But…game show host? Well, maybe. He can't predict and he can't dance. Maybe he can do that.
