New News for Carlson, Schieffer
Tucker Carlson is taking his bow-tie to a new network.
One month after CNN decided against offering the conservative pundit a new contract, the former Crossfire host is moving to MSNBC, where, as expected, he'll take over the 9 p.m. weekday slot recently vacated by Deborah Norville.
Carlson will host an as yet unnamed program that is expected to debut in the spring. He will also continue to host his weekly PBS show Tucker Carlson Unfiltered.
"Tucker and I have a long history together and I'm extremely excited to have the opportunity to work with him at MSNBC," MSNBC President Rick Kaplan said in a statement. "He is without a doubt one of the sharpest minds and best writers in this business. His passion and enthusiasm are both energizing and remarkable. He is truly a pleasure to work with."
The man Jon Stewart once categorized as "a dick" waxed similarly enthusiastic about his new prospects.
"This is a tremendous opportunity to do something creative and original in cable television," Carlson said in a statement. "MSNBC is on the move and I'm thrilled to join the team."
CNN also pulled the plug on Crossfire last month. Carlson's former cohosts--James Carville, Robert Novak and Paul Begala--were expected to remain with the net as regular commentators.
In other shakeups in the journalism world, CBS announced Wednesday that Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer will temporarily fill Dan Rather's shoes when the veteran anchor steps down from CBS Evening News next month after 24 years on the job.
Rather announced his plans to retire in November, after coming under fire over a discredited 60 Minutes Wednesday report that questioned President George W. Bush's National Guard service during the Vietnam era. He will step down on the 24th anniversary of the date he succeeded Walter Cronkite as anchor.
Schieffer will host the Evening News for a "brief transition period" while the broadcast gets a new format, CBS President Andrew Heyward said.
CBS chief Les Moonves said last month that the new format would likely involve a multi-anchor format for the broadcast, which has been lagging in the ratings behind NBC and ABC.
The network did not comment on how long Schieffer's temp job was expected to last.
