Do You Trust Me? Ask Tucker Carlson
About a year ago, MSNBC's Tucker Carlson got a moonlighting gig, hosting a game show for CBS, Do You Trust Me?.

So what ever happened to the project?

CBS spokesperson Kim Izzo tells TVNewser the show does not have an air date as of yet. The network describes the program as featuring "two contestants who are total strangers as a team in pursuit of over $1 million while testing their ability to trust one another."

Carlson tells TVNewser a pilot and six episodes are in the can — taped on weekends in Los Angeles. "I think it's compelling and entertaining," he says of the program. It's "a hybrid, part game show, part reality show."

Do You Trust Me?, Carlson says, "is not related in any way" to the old Johnny Carson show of the 1950's and 1960's, Who Do You Trust?.

Carlson's other hosting gig — MSNBC's Tucker — came to an end last month when execs replaced the program with Race for the White House. Carlson remains onboard at the network as MSNBC's senior campaign correspondent.

1. Think the third word in your header is the biggest clue

as in where the person he made a deal with came from.

[waiting for hope]

2. Wow - didn't know Tucker's Dad

was Beelzebub!

[Bucky]

3. Actually the complete answer is in the sixth word in the OP

Daddy knows people. Before I found out who his daddy knows, I assumed Tucker simply gave a wickedly good blowjob.

[Donnachaidh]

7. okay -- I'll play stupid -- who is Tucker's Dad?

Serious question.

[CatWoman]

8. heir to the Swanson Foods fortune

[Donnachaidh]

10. Ahh -- so he comes from the crappy spew and tinfoil class?

Ewwww -- no more money for that crap!

[Captain Hilts]

4. Tucker's dad must have pix of network execs with live boys or dead girls. nt

[Botany]

5. 1 Word

Daddy

[hootinholler]

14. I was thinking

Fellatio

-Hoot

[stellanoir]

6. bow ties

It's all predicated by his stunning bow ties, refined features and entirely vacuous soul.

[Cleita]

9. I hope he gets the game show if it keeps him out of politics.n/t

11. Brief bio from Wikepedia...

He is one of the sons of Richard Warner Carlson, a former banker, Los Angeles local news anchor, U.S. ambassador to the Seychelles, director of the U.S. Information Agency, and president of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. His mother is the former Patricia Caroline Swanson. He has one sibling, Buckley Swanson Peck Carlson. Carlson's maternal grandmother, Roberta Fulbright Swanson, was a sister of U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright.<2>.

Carlson attended St. George's School, a boarding school in Middletown, Rhode Island. After graduation, he majored in history at the private liberal arts Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, where he left before receiving a degree in 1992.

He is married to Susan Andrews, with whom he has four children: Lillie, Hope, Dorothy, and Buckley.

12. After seeing Phucker last night with Donahue ...

maybe he can get a new gig as Junior MSNBC Parking Lot Attendant.

Phil swept the floor with him.

:rofl: :rofl:

[screembloodymurder]

13. He went to camp with Dennis Miller.

Two tits on a bull.

[Gato Moteado]

15. yeah, and every one of his shows lasts about as long as a don rickles sitcom

nt

[Berry Cool]

20. At least Don Rickles is funny. n/t

[loves_dulcinea]

16. casting couch

he takes it like a man.

[riverdeep]

17. Nepotism is an ugly thing sometimes.

The guy is just a loser. Like our current dufus-in-chief, without a little help from his friends, he'd be nowhere. Also, Matthews and Scarborough like him, so he gets to stay on on MSNBC.

[DCKit]

18. His pretty mouth and tight butt? n/t

[devilgrrl]

19. I keep wondering the same thing about Cokie Roberts

Somebody call those two a cab!

[spanone]

21. he must poll 'genial plucky fat boy'....the Lawrence Welk crowd loves him

[Stinky The Clown]

22. I'd bet becasuse he works really cheap and already knows the technical shit needed

But think about his career path ...... it would graph much like Bush's popularity polls. He's been fired from every gig he has .... and each successive gig is lesser than the one that preceded it. Hardly a winning track record.

[KoKo]

23. Remember his Dad was the guy who headed "Scooter Libby Defense Fund."

What else do you need to know? :shrug: He's golden...

[KoKo]

24. Frankly....David Gregory is worse than TUCKER...IMHO! n/t

[CatWoman]

25. and David used to be so cool, too

:(

[Frank Cannon]

26. For the same reason Dennis Miller keeps getting jobs

Because he can suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

27. Surprisingly good blow jobs.

The little motorized bowties are the key.
