Insiders tell TVNewser Tucker Carlson's 6pmET show Tucker is getting the axe, but Carlson stays on as a political contributor to all MSNBC shows at least through the 2008 election. The official announcement, expected tomorrow, will include details about who will replace Tucker at 6pmET as well as other political programming additions. Sources say the network is going to beef up its schedule with more NBC News talent.

In recent days, Jossip, as well as other blogs, ratcheted up the talk that Tucker would be replaced "for a new project." In its 33-month run, Carlson's show has had two names, four time slots and multiple formats. At 6pmET, it builds on its Harbdall lead-in on some days, but loses audience on others.

Carlson is expected to host the show through next week, with his new role and title to take effect March 17. We're told he'll also be reporting from the campaign trail.

Did you guys see this? I know we've all heard the rumors in the past, but this time they listed a cancelation date! Maybe FINALLY this dimwhit will inally be GONE!!!!

7. Great Idea

I had hoped one night that she would get a show. She is on quite a lot.

Funny, I watch Matthews and Olberman, and Abrhams sometimes, but not Tucker. I only started watching Abrhams because he had Stephanie Miller on at times. But lately I've not seen her on, so I'm thinking about not watching it. He's such a Hillary sycophant.

5. "political contributor".

That sounds like one step away from the dustbin where he belongs.

9. Tweety could use some more off the cuff comments about hairstyles and tie colors

the exercise in superficialities is something that they have in common.

8. Chuck Todd would be fair

11. Huh?

Chuck Todd was a hatchet man for the Repub party that once worked with Lee Atwater. A quick Google search will confirm.

10. Tucker better start sniffing someone's throne

because whatever he's doing now isn't working.

At least this frees some of Tucker's time up. Perhaps he can use his spare time during his "campaign reporting" to go on a cross-country tour to combat gay men in public bathrooms.
