Notice I did not say they would "replace" Tucker Carlson with this lowbrow hambrain.

According to " " " Drudge " "" (meaning "not Drudge"), this is what the brain trust who cooked up the Arizona election call and then doubled and redoubled down on it has decided is the right move.

The Drudge Report dropped a siren-blaring scoop on Wednesday announcing an imminent shake-up at Fox News, eventually reporting that Sean Hannity will take over at 8 p.m.

"WORLD EXCLUSIVE: FOXNEWS SETS NEW SCHEDULE" read the headline from Matt Drudge on the highly-trafficked website he founded. Drudge eventually updated that headline to note Hannity's new gig as well as report both Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld would be heading to prime time.

Watters currently hosts one of Fox's top-rated shows at 7 p.m. while Gutfeld hosts a highly-rated late-night show at 11 p.m. -- both co-host Fox's top-rated program The Five at 5 p.m. Hannity, meanwhile, broke the record for longest-running cable news prime time host in April of 2022, eclipsing Larry King at 25 years, six months, and 15 days.

"FOXNEWS is preparing to announce an ambitious new schedule, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, a schedule where ever hour of primetime will change!" Drudge reported. "TOP SOURCE TELLS DRUDGE: 'IT'S OUR BOLDEST AND MOST FEARLESS LINE-UP EVER'..."

Fox News fired its top-rated opinion host, Tucker Carlson, at the end of April after a long string of controversies. While advertisers have reportedly flocked back to the 8 p.m. hour Carlson used to occupy, viewership has dropped significantly.

Roger Ailes' widow tweeted last night that Rupert Murdoch fired Tucker for the same reason he fired her late husband -- jealousy.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Roger Ailes. It took you 20 years to build Fox News into the powerhouse that it was and only 6 years for the Murdochs to wreak havoc. Rupert thought he could do your job. What a joke. He has the checkbook but could never come close to your genius. RIP.

Elizabeth Ailes offered some comments to the Daily Beast.

"Karma is a b****" said Ms Ailes in a conversation with the Daily Beast. She said none of the scandals, including the Dominion lawsuit and Carlson's removal, would have happened if her husband was still with the network.

"Roger never had his hand off the wheel when it came to Fox," she told the outlet, adding that the Murdochs "weren't born here and don't have the same pedigree".

Mocking the network's chief executive Lachlan Murdoch, she said, "I was told he's a spear fisherman, I don't know if he spends time in the office".

She said her husband referred to James Murdoch, Mr Murdoch's younger son, and Lachlan as "Tweedle Dumb" and "Tweedle Dumber" respectively.

Megyn Kelly confirms that Ailes called Les Freres Murdoch "Tweedle Dumb" and "Tweedle Dumber," stating that he said that to her all the time.
