Tucker Carlson's Maybe-Replacement Would Come From Inside the House

tucker6.jpg Is those rumors we've been hearing about Tucker Carlson's removal from his 6pm timeslot on MSNBC turn out to be true – and multiple sources assure us they are! but we've heard that before! – then his replacement will almost certainly come from in-house, we're hearing. One source insists Rachel Maddow, the Air America host and MSNBC analyst whose been on air regularly during primary coverage, will be taking over. In January, Queerty interviewed Maddow, which, predictably, means she's a gay. And also: She's "not a Hillary Clinton fan."

Update: Insists one MSNBC source: It is not Maddow. Though she did tape a pilot for the network, the opportunity isn't on the table for her. Then again, neither is it for David Shuster. More unknowns!

    If it's not Maddow, I'm not watching.

    I've been pushing for a year for Rachel to get her own hour.

    Rachel is immmensely qualified to take on the Carlson slot. She had gravitas, intelligence, and humor. She doesn't PRETEND to be..she just is.

    I'm so happy to hear she is being considered for Tucker's show.
