After being let go by their respective news networks, Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon will team up on a new show that begins next week. “Wake up YouTube” will air live at 9:00 am and alternate between Lemon’s veranda in Washington D.C. and Carlson’s basement in Woodstock, Maine.
Critics wonder if men with such differing opinions as Carlson and Lemon could be cordial enough to co-host a show with one another. However, the show’s producers believe that’s what will bring audiences in.
“The show will have a crisp adversarial feel to it, sorta in the vein of ‘The Odd Couple’ or for our younger viewers, ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta,'” said executive producer Clara Clarkson.
The rundown of the inaugural show was made available to the media and goes as follows:
Wake Up YouTube
9:00: Show intro – Blaring alarm clock graphic/title card flashes on the screen as Don and Tucker yell, “Wake up, YouTube slackers!” they repeat this for five continuous minutes.
9:05: Tucker and Don discuss how their evenings went and make veiled innuendos concerning each other’s sexual orientation and lack of fashion sense.
