Tucker Carlson, the former prominent Fox News host, has reportedly signed a deal with ABC to launch his own new show.

This news quickly stirred excitement, with many speculating that he would replace the popular “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in the late-night slot.

However, this claim turned out to be nothing more than a baseless rumor.

The story originated from a satirical Facebook post, which was then spread by a satirical website named SpaceXMania.

The site clearly stated that all of its articles were fictional and not to be taken seriously.

ABC has since come forward to deny any such plans and confirmed that there is no intention to replace Jimmy Kimmel.
